FA48 Pocket Knife for Men, 5-in-1 Black Tactical Knife Frame-Lock

NedFoss Pocket Knife "for Men" (anyone can use of course) is a quality budget knife for beginners & pros. Beginners will need one maybe two hours practice and should be fine. Pros will love the "beater" quality of the knife and it's *low price tag. *15.99 USD 2/8/2023. Pros: *Hefty somewhat heavy overall feel without feeling like a brick in pocket/on waist. I like the heft; it indicates rugged strength of construction. *Gun-metal charcoal-grey finish has a matte yet shiny look. Best of both worlds. *Sharp blade slices paper out of the box. Not like butter. 8/10 sharpness, whetstone if you need 10. *Thick sturdy blade. Withstood puncture tests of cardboard, wooden cutting board, hand towel & thick bubble-wrap lined envelope the knife was mailed in. Tree trunk and harder material this might chip, not going to test that. Regardless of the video showing it shave-chop trees. This is a mid-grade strength blade that does what it needs for under $20. 8/10 puncture strength. *The heavy blade flicks beautifully sideways, on its back and on its belly, which was surprising. You won't need to finish the opening manually like some blades do, opening 90% of the way. 100% every time so far with this. Cons: Flicking out needs practice. Will need breaking in/flicking to loosen up the stiffness. Even after that, it is still awkward finding what works best for you. Using a thumb for the double-sided thumb studs is unrealistic I'm finding; I have big strong hands and I can't thumb flick it out. Blade is too heavy when closed. Small area to work with plus fingers are too close to the knife edge if you use the double studs. I use the back protruding tilt flipper to open. Requires a strong index finger push all while gripping the blade handle so it doesn't slip out of hand. It's not easy, but not impossible. Practice. It will flick in time. *Clip is too tight. Very nitpicky and can be adjusted. Nonetheless it is tight. *Seatbelt cutter is useless. Just use the blade itself if in that god forbid scenario. *Bottle opener CAN be used with the blade closed; you do risk knocking the blade out of alignment & scratching the finish if you do. I have bottle openers on my keychain loop anyways so will probably never use the knife for bottle caps. Grey area/mixed feelings: *Blade Closing. Not bad, not good. The all too simple design of pushing aside a thin piece of metal to close the blade has me wondering how this will hold up in self-defense scenarios or heavy-duty tasks if one needed to slash hard. Feels safe so far, not budging or wiggling forward/folding to cut hand on accident. *It's big. If you want a more discreet, lighter pocket knife, you'll want something under 4 inches on the blade, under 5 inches on the handle. Not tested: *Haven't tried the glass breaker. You could use the hilt flipper prong too if needed in that scenario I would think. Overall: 8.5/10 knife. A 4-star rating is too low in my opinion, so I rounded up to 5. Cuts, slices, durable and looks nice. Awkward opening leaves a bit desired to reach perfection status. Looks, feels and works like a 30–40-dollar blade! If you're the victim of quality control issues you're not out of a fortune ($15.99) and should be able to get a replacement if you choose. For folks not super-into knives, this can serve as a one & done pocket blade if oiled and sharpened from time to time. If you're a knife afficionado this is very much welcome in the repertoire and not a waste of time or money.

Has a smooth and controlled opening mechanic. Came Well Sharpened. Feels good in the hand and is sturdy. Great personal gift buy for a guy who could use a good utility knife. Fits in the pocket well. My only complaint is that the belt clip on it has a very strong retention and needed to be bent out a bit even to slide over my pocket seam.

This pocket knife is much more than I first imagined. It is very robust and can be utilized immediately. The knife fits perfectly in my front pocket and causes no out of the ordinary problems with normal/regular movements. It is not bulky yet has a very solid feel along with a sturdy look. It is a quality product that has exceeded my expectations - Thanks for the recommendation Amazon! Anthony

I think this is a well-made work knife. I have two of them and have had no issues. I have one for work and another for camping. A little heavy but comfortable. The edge holds well

Coming back here after about a year to stay this is still a very good knife, probably one of my best purchases I've made yet. To start, this is my third NedFoss blade I purchased. The size is perfect, not too overly big and not too small, fits perfectly in my hand when I use it to open packages at my workplace. Some might find it a little too heavy, but I enjoy the heft/weight of it, really gives it a sturdy feeling. I also like how it has a notch on it and can be flicked open quickly, it's originally a bit hard to open but after using it for a while it's much easier. Never used any of the other tools aside from the main blade, but they are really cool to have on backup. Overall, very good investment: super cheap, but damn well build. I will definitely purchase from NedFoss again.

Great sturdy sharp knife.also a great price .i would recommend

For the price I was very surprised how well built they are and they are sharp.! I've seen the YouTube videos Where they totally abuse these knives and they don't hold up. They use them in ways that normal people will never ever use a knife. Ignore those videos. These are great, well-designed and reliable Knives. Thats why I bought several of them.

Very nice knife and seems durable. Nice case and very sharp

Gutes Messer und schwer

Robustes und einfach zu bedienendes Teil. Kann es nur empfehlen.

Gute Qualität und schnelle Lieferung

Für den Privat gebraucht ist es okay aber niemal in der Öffentlichkeit dabei haben weil es zum Problem wird wegen der Gesamtlänge und dem Waffengestz in Deutschland.

Tolles Messer, erfüllt alle funktionen. Liegt gut in der Hand. Leicht zu öffnen, lässt sich aber nicht mehr zuklappen. Mit einem kleinen Schraubenzieher kann man die Feder etwas zur Seite drücken, dann klappt es zu. Gefährliche Sache!
