Eafengrow EF335 Folding Knives D2 Blade and G10 Handle,5 inch Closed EDC Pocket Folding Knife with Clip (black)

First it's a big knife which i love . Comes with the tool to tighten the pivot and other screws. The tool and screws are even made of nice hardened steel. Then the blade is nice piece of D2 Which sharpens to super sharp edge that cuts everything like butter (very happy about that), holds edge very good so the heat treatment was done right. For the price this is a great knife. Why buy lower grade than D2 steel blade . when other lower grade steel just dull so easily and have such lower toughness and edge retention. The ball bearing pivots help it flip open pretty good . not the super silky like a super expensive knife (but they don't always open super great) but only had it for a lil bit n it is already getting smoother the more i open it. (I own other eafengrow knives and they all open relly nice after a few weeks of use). The liner lock locks up very solid. I seen other brands(expensive ones) that when bang on back of knife will close on your hand. And a knife this sharp that's the last thing you would want to happen. So i tested it by hitting it with 3lb dead blow hammer and it stayed solidly locked up. So very satisfied that it will not fail on me . Then one surprise i really love is the choil on the knife(lil indented curve just behind the blade area where you can put your finger for a choked up grip for better control) .it is the first knife i have owned that it is actually rounded and smoothed out so feel very comfortable when you put your finger there(real reason i never have used or cared for a choil on other knives before) but this one i find myself actually using it on a knife for once. N ya i show that point to all coworkers (were all woodworkers n use knives all the time . i carry 5 knives all the time ,each one is used for different purposes at work ) Well hope this help make someone pick up this nice knife TERRY F.

This is really a great quality knife that punches well above its price. Smooth action, great blade shape and very sharp. The knife is blade heavy, but this really aids in positive deployment. The finger grove in the blade really gives you leverage over the blade for cutting or defensive actions. The flipper provides a positive feel and acts as a guard in the open position. This knife is large but not difficult to carry and really feels great in the hand. Highly recommended.

unfourtunatly returning because of my 2 negative points the worst being mine arrived rusted seems the manufacturer doesn't use packing grease to keep the d2 from coroding which is unfourtunate because there is a lot of it like A LOT huge knife .15 stock and will say mine at least was perfectly sharp. the other negative is that the handle material is listed as g10 but feels and sounds more like 3d printed plastic which also is unfourtunate because of the hollow sound it makes when the very heavy blade with better action than my 200$ vipers and spydercos have dead falls shut. the plus side if your looking at it is the knife is sharp bearing action is stellar litterally one of the best iv seen centering dead on lock up tight with 25% engagement solid lock geometry I would be cautious with hard use because liner has the slightest flex. may want to flare the lip on the pocket clip a bit if you decide to keep yours its tight and sturdy but a little thin and doesn't quite ramp on a blue jeans seam probably gonna take my refund and get the titanium strider clone they make because even low tier titanium would feel better than the plastic but I truly respect the machining quality. 1 nit pick which is a bit unfair for a 30$ knife is the hardware isnt countersunk but if you want a big scary knife that's razor sharp super fast sturdy and unless you try cold steel tests on it with regular use should last forever its a win just remember she's a big un

Let’s face it: the Chinese have gotten crazy good at cloning MT knives. At least when looking at the $30 range folders and $60 OTFs. I mean, I own some clones that came sharper and with better action than the originals (which cost 10x more) and the fit and finish is pretty much the same these days. Sure, the materials are inferior and so is the QC, ultimately leading to reduced toughness and dependability, but if you get a good one, it will be rugged and reliable enough for most of us, who’ll use these knives for some fidgeting and LARPing and then (maybe), some occasional cutting. What I received from Eafengrow is an amazing DOC clone. I’ve only played with a DOC at a dealer before but from everything I can remember, this looks, feels, and works exactly the same. Excellent fit and finish, no blemishes or defects and buttery smooth action, no matter whether you use the flipper or the thumb studs (my favorite method of deployment). The detent and pivot action really are good, especially after some pivot lube and considering the heft of the blade. It’s hard to botch blade deployment with this knife. I mean, it doesn’t open very quickly or snappily but very smoothly and confidently. The blade centering and liner lockup are great too. Deploying this chonky, nasty, sweet looking blade always brings a smile to my face and the knife is a joy to wield and practice (cough… LARP… cough) with. The only grip style that sucks is the edge down “ice pick” but that’s an issue with the vast majority of liner lock folders out there. The finger choil and jimping are great for some precision cutting and my blade came with an excellent sharp edge. Here’s to hoping that the D2 is properly heat-treated for decent hardness. That can be an issue with budget Chinese knives. Oh yeah… unlike MT, Eafengrow is nice enough to include a tool for the proprietary screws, in case you need to adjust the pivot or simply take the knife apart! Anyway, if this knife looks good to you, for the asking price, just buy it! If you end up with a victim of bad QC, just get it replaced. This is an awesome knife for the money! As my title says, with the current batch of MT clones, you get 95% the knife for 10% the price and this particular knife is a perfect example of that.

For starters, I'm not a knife guy. I've owned one nice Benchmade and quite a variety of cheapo knives. But I AM a mechanical engineer which qualifies some of my comments. All in all, a nice knife at a cheap price. I really like the mechanical design, and it works nicely now that I've taken it apart, cleaned it, and put a spot of grease on the bearings (they were completely dry). The bearings themselves are disappointing. There are two of them, one on each side of the blade at the pivot, and they consist of tiny, hardened balls embedded in plastic discs. These are not rolling bearings. The tiny balls are very smooth and they reduce the contact area to lots of little points so that reduces the sliding friction. But don't think of them as rolling elements, because they're not. For evidence that they're not rolling, on my knife the tiny balls have gouged tracks into the opposing metal surface. Rolling contact shouldn't do that. I think the assembler over-torqued all of the fasteners on my knife. One of the screws holding my knife together was actually cross threaded from the factory - which sort of blew my mind until I noticed that I nearly cross threaded one myself putting it back together. The threads are so small and fine that they probably cross thread them all the time, and just torque 'em down hard and hope the buyer doesn't want to take it apart. But you really need to take it apart and clean it and lubricate it to get it running smooth. I absolutely hate the screws. They look fancy and I guess that's nice. But they just make the whole process of disassembly and reassembly much harder than it should be. The tool that comes with the knife is too small to be useful without a pair of pliers to grip it with. The tool and the screws are both very hard - and I like that. But please just give me torx head screws. Please? One other thing is that the knife is squeaky. It doesn't bother me but I thought I'd comment on the cause. The ball detent that holds the knife closed is the culprit. You can probably stop the squeak by polishing the surface that the detent slides on. Also, it will probably polish itself with enough open and close cycles. I don't regret buying it, and I didn't spend any time in this review talking about its good points - and it does have plenty of good points. If you like how it looks and are willing to do some minimal work to tune it up you'll probably like this knife quite well. It's sturdy (despite the "bearings") and sharp out of the box, and it does look quite nice. It's priced about right, I think.

This knife surpised me. It's better than I had originally thought. For me the ergonomics are great. I have large hands. Altough this knife is not heavy it is still very well made. You can feel the quality in the action. I think a lot of people rate these knives before they are broken in. The first thing I do is oil them up. With this knife that drastically improved the action. I wipe of the excess oil off and just work the action over and over until I'm satified. I always use a heavy rag while moving the action to protect my hands. Just doing this drastically improves the action and I really like this knike more than most. This will help getting use to the knife and how it works. This knife is a good value and if you have large hands it fits and operates great!!! Caution very sharp.

Ok. So we all know which knife this one client resembles, and that's why I bought it and why you're looking. I've read a lot of reviews of these Eafengrow knives, and I've got to say that I'm perplexed by the people who come on here reviewing this as if it were a $200 knife, complete with their haughty attitude and know-it-all-ness. If you're like me, and I KNOW I'm not alone, you just want a decent knife that is attractive, well built, and inexpensive. Oh, and you probably want a minimum of the pretentious attitudes of knife guys who know all the right words to say in order to sound cool. If that's the case, then this is the knife for you! Well built, GORGEOUS, and nice steel that takes a razor edge (whether it's D2 or not). It locks up. It opens. It cuts stuff. And it looks cool doing it. It's a tool, but it's a pretty sweet tool for $30. Just buy one. You'll be glad you did! Great seller, great product. It's all good!

I want to start off by saying, this knife, as others have said, is big. Out of the 20 knives I currently used for EDC this is by far the biggest and heaviest. The pocket clip is good, but you might need to customize the angle of the flare of the pocket clip if you so desire. It is not a deep pocket carry, but it is suitable enough. It is sharp out of the box, I have yet to strop or hone the blade at all, but your mileage might vary. The detent for this knife is substantial, almost on par with my Twosuns knife. IT may take some getting used to but nothing overly tough to open. The first few opens may be a little stuff but most knives, regardless of price, will always have a break in period. The knife is a Liner lock, And does indeed come with its own tool, BUT, keep in mind the tool, will allow you to tighten or loosen the pivot screw, but mine did not have the correct sized part for the body and pocket clip screws. So keep that in mind and make ready to find a suitable tool. So far the knife performs as it should. It is Sharp, it doesnt its job, it is D2 steel, and it is robust enough to do some heavier tasks something along the lines of a Mini praxis might not fully be up to. all in all I think the knife is great, and in my case, I wanted to know if I liked the look, feel, and weight of a Strider, without commiting to Strider budget. but for a knife that is very similar, I say go ahead and get it for you, if you enjoy larger knives.

En relación calidad precio, creo que no hay muchas navajas que compitan con esta, estoy impresionado de lo bien que se ve y se siente esta navaja, muy bien!!!
