Edited: The knife blade itself is of very good seeming quality. Extremely sharp out of the box and holds it's edge well. The angles appear, at least, near perfect and the alignment of ALMOST everything is seemingly spot on. It fits and feels great in the hand also. However there are four points that need to be addressed and I'll leave it to you to decide if it's a deal breaker for you or not, it is for me, and is the reason I won't purchase another Eafengrow.

1) There's play in the blade and as I've used it it's gotten worse. The screw, holding the blade in at the pivot point, has come loose after several flips each day for only a week. Now it's extremely loose and I cannot tighten the screw without it coming loose again within a few flips. I thought this to mean that it escaped the factory without any Loctite applied, I was wrong. Even after applying a generous amount of Loctite and letting it sit the full 24 hours, it comes undone after 15 minutes of flipping. This is a major production issue, not simply a QC problem.

2) The second thing about it, which, unfortunately, stands out like a sore thumb, actually, it results in a sore thumb, because something that should stand out like a sore thumb doesn't. Wow that's a mouthful and mind bender. Okay, so it's the liner lock. The locking liner section should stick out just a little further than the handle scale, so it's easy to find and push away for closing the blade. On this knife it's actually slightly recessed. Now this doesn't mean I can't use it, nor does it mean that it's particularity difficult to do so, but what it does mean and leads to is a pinching of the skin on my thumb, between the liner and the handle scale. Now so far it hasn't drawn blood, and I'm guessing it won't, as it really only barely pinches the skin at the very surface, I don't even feel it. Still, this is a major design flaw, or QC issue. And it leaves the skin, where it pinches, feeling like a burr along a blade edge, requiring me to rub my fingers together to reduce it back.

3) This is purely personal preference, but I don't like thick bodied pocket knives and this one is very thick. It's nice in the way that it fits great in the hand, filling it perfectly. However it's not great for carrying EDC. I like nice thin bodies, easy to conceal and doesn't bulk up a pocket unnecessarily. These scales are very thick and so is the liner, twice as thick as both need to be, in fact. Hell I could take the scales off and just use the liner as a frame lock instead, if I could find replacement screws. It would work way better for me, but that's just nit picking.

4) This one I don't really care about, but I know others will. The pocket clip, while being awesomely low profile (which I absolutely love), is too low of a profile to fit most jeans or cargo shorts very well.

Fantastic bargain! I carried a Case Sodbuster for most of the last 3 decades, but now they are up to $27 or so and they don't lock anyways. This knife has about the same blade shape and thickness AND it locks AND has a belt clip. Clip is why I deducted a star, it's too thin so prone to bending and then you have to unscrew and rebend...knowing it'll probably happen again. Opens easily, one handed. Wish I'd had this knife 30 yrs ago.

Cons:A knife for under $20 what do you expect? The blade dulls quickly and feels wobbly. The handle is plastic. Pros: cheap and I get a lot of compliments on it. I mean it's not a Benchmade, but it cost under $20. 4 stars because of the price and look of it. I use it at work and it does the job.

This is my everyday carry knife I have right along with my small flash light that I use often these days everything comes in packages so I'm opening the packages with my flipper all the time with my left hand because my right hand does not work that well so it makes life a whole lot easier to carry a light weight flipper to open things up

Very good knife. It has the look and feel of a much more expensive knife. Takes a good edge. It was very sharp to start with, but being a "knife guy" I just had to improve on this.
There are no markings ao stamps on this knife at all. The steel appears to be D2, by the way, it holds its edge.
If you're looking for a good knive at a bargin price you can't go wrong with this one.
