Sanrenmu 7056 Series Pocket Knife (7056LUF-SF Stone Washed) (Silvery)

I have been looking for a quality low price (under $65) knife. After trying Kershaw, Gerber and Cold Steel Finn (really wanted to like the Finn. Blade was great). There are features of any knife that are a matter of personal preference. Thumb studs, flipper, spring assist, metal treatment/look. For me this has it all, for the price! -knife blade is made of 8Cr14MoV steel which is supposed to be very similar in quality to AUS 8. I have researched the hardness of the steel and see it usually at the 55-57 RC. Not the hardest, but it is tough. Blade edge retention should be, on a scale of 1-10, 10 being highest in retention: 7. --the blade type is drop point with a flat grind(?) -The clip seem quite a bit more flexible than higher priced knives. Notice I did not say better knives. The clip flexes enough to where you can clip the knife to your pants pocket without using two hands. --The clip cannot be moved to provide various carrying styles. Never an issue for me but may be for others. ---The clip can be removed if you do not need it. -Thumb studs work better than a Kershaw Cryo II (and MANY other knives). --When used, my thumb does not feel in danger of being sliced. --A flick of the wrist is need to complete the opening of the knife. The flick is much easier to achieve, much more so than the Cryo II. --Brass color if it matters to you --I do not care for spring assisted openers. Extra pieces which can break or malfunction. ---You will look cooler when opening a spring assisted knife. They are nice but more to go wrong. -Stonewashed: looks very good. Should help hide lesser scratches to the metal. -Flipper: used as an alternate to using the thumb studs. Works well, it is not spring assisted so a flick of the wrist is still needed. --This is fine since I want the flip assist when one of my hands is busy. Speed is not even a factor to me. -Weight: too much for slacks, fine for all other clothing. --if you are carrying a knife while wearing slacks, I would get a synthetic handled blade to reduce weight, or a smaller knife! -The knife just fits into my hands which are medium sized. -The finger groove is well placed. The locking part of the frame is textured with grooves which do dig into the hand depending on how you hold it. Not painful but noticeable. -There is a hole near the butt of the blade for a lanyard if desired. For the price, and double the price, this knife is a great value. Edge retention which to me is a critical issue, but sharpening the edge is even more important. I carry a dual-ceramic rods pocket sharpener for field expedient (garage, backyard) sharpening. This is what I was hoping for with the much heavier and more costly Kershaw Cryo II.

This is a great little folder. It's a great steel for an inexpensive EDC, and takes a very good edge. The hardness rating is believable, as it holds the edge fairly well, but it will dull faster than a high-end steel. There's no way around that. The good news is that it sharpens very easily back up to a razor edge. Mine came sharp, and the grind was nice and consistent. The stonewashing isn't too pronounced, but it does scuff the knife up enough so that nothing you do to it will be immediately noticeable. The gold thumbstuds are a take-it-or-leave-it design choice, and my feelings about them go back and forth from day to day. The color has no impact on performance, though. This is not a spring-assisted knife, although its mutant twin, the Kershaw Cryo, is assisted. The flipper makes more sense on the Cryo, as this flipper will not deploy the blade without a decent amount of wrist flick. That doesn't really bother me, though; the flipper gets it started easily and the thumbstud will carry it the rest of the way. On top of that, I love the nice big choil that the flipper gives the grip. There's no worry about your fingers sliding up onto the blade. At first the lock is a bit tricky to disengage but once you do it a few times it gets easier. I'm not sure whether it loosened up or I just got used to pressing it the right way. For the price of this knife, you can't go wrong. I got it instead of the Cryo because I don't love assisted openings, and instead of a CRKT Drifter because I love the choil and the Drifter's is fairly small. Very pleased. I use it all the time, and there's no worries about hurting it because it's so dang cheap.

It's a good looking knife for the price paid. Steel is good for what it is. No issues with sharpness, retaining an edge, chipping, or breaking in any way. Has a very solid construction. Fairly thick and heavy in the hand. Blade is small, but a decent size. I, for one, prefer blades of this size over larger ones. Not much special about this knife in addition to it just being a knife. No frills. For a couple bucks more, I think you could get a higher quality knife, so its hard for me to give this knife 5 stars. But its good for the price point and I think it stands out among other knives of this price. Don't be fooled by my 4 stars - I would recommend this unless you want the quality of better knives like a more slim profile, better steel, smoother opening, better grip, etc - but its hard to beat for the price.

Tamaño medio ideal, excelente geometría en hoja y ergonomía en la empuñadura para manos de tamaño medio. Viene muy filosa y la única contra es que el flipper requiere empuje de muñeca para abrir la hoja a una mano. Yo prefiero esta sanrenmu a la kershaw ya que la apertura asistida puede ser ilegal en algunos lugares. Llegó muy rápido, gracias Amazon USA.

Bonita navaja pero como q la imagen real no es tan deslumbrante, pero está muy bien la navaja, se ve solida, un poquito pesada
