Sitivien ST144 Folding Knife,Black Stonewashed 14C28N Steel Blade,Micarta Handle Pocket Knife for Outdoor EDC Camping,Survival,Hiking,Fishing(Brown)

The media could not be loaded. I already had an st101 from these guys as a cheap daily knife after they discontinued the Kershaw skyline, which was my go-to. In many ways it was better than most Kershaw's as a cheap daily. Really low price, but you get really nice build quality and that smooth satisfying "fall shut" ball bearing action. Having perfect action on a cheap knife with perfect lockup is awesome.The downside of that knife was the blade grind and tip were just a little chunky for opening boxes and Amazon packages constantly, and then I just really dislike sharpening d2. Well this knife fixed my two big issues. 14c28n IMO is the steel you want on a daily because of how easy it is to sharpen for a steel that holds an edge as well as it does, all while still being cheap. That's why the mid tier Kershaw's were good to me. Also the knife shape and grind is much flatter, thinner and pointier. Really nice as a package opener.It goes without saying these knives are amazing for the price. Getting a nice design, nice build quality, nice steel, nice action etc. Are all things you really only expect one or two of on something this cheap. But getting them all is kinda wild. It's not just a good cheap knife, it's legitimately a good knife period. It just happens to also be cheap.I'm just amazed how good inexpensive knives have gotten. After losing knives that are hundreds of dollars, I'd just rather the knife I take to work not be too precious. $50 and under if I can help it. The downside was you almost always had to get a suboptimal steel. But at this price you get 14c28n and ball bearings when you'd usually get 8cr13mov and a washer. I'd even take this over a Kershaw leek if you put both in front of me, when it's actually priced like a chill. Don't even hesitate if you're considering trying one out. There honestly isn't a catch like there usually is at this price.

It's a bit of a smaller pocket knife. Action is good on it and opens easily. The green handle has nice texture and grip. The blade came pretty sharp and comes to a nice point. The pocket clip works well and looks nice with a lanyard. Nicely priced and is a. Very decent budget friendly option. I have 2 knives from this maker and both are about the same in quality. The blade is centered well and doesn't have any wiggle when opened.

This was purchased for a 13yo birthday gift, and she loved it. I had time to mess with it before we gave it to her and it's well made. Locks up tight, good grip on the raw g10, looks great, and the blade was beveled properly so it has a thin sharp edge. I'll definitely buying a sitivien for myself in the future.

First the bad, which will have nothing to do with my rating. Ordered the knife more than a month ago. Chose the jade green because listing said it would be here in three days, and delivery dates on all of the others were several weeks away. Didn't arrive on schedule and every time I checked the delivery date had been pushed back another week. Finally got fed up with the delays and contacted Amazon customer service. Person I spoke to checked on the order and said he would expedite things and I would have it in 2 or 3 days. That was nearly 2 weeks ago and still no jade green knife. Fortunately, before contacting Amazon I noticed that the other colors were apparently back in stock with nearby shipping dates, so when my original order still didn't arrive as promised I ordered the same knife in black instead. That one arrived in a few days, which was yesterday. (Delivery date on the jade green one has now been moved back into February, so even though I like the jade green color, I said "screw it" and cancelled that order.)As far as the knife itself, blade action and centering are pretty much perfect, and the small(ish) size is nice for EDC if you aren't planning to do any major work and beat on it. It also arrive well sharpened. I like it a lot - BUT...The blade is nearly as long as the handle and one can easily snag a finger on the tip of it, especially since the blade has a very sharp and "pointy" tip. (Which would normally be a good thing.) I have pretty thick (okay, fat...) fingers and this has never been a problem with any other knives I've owned. I can easily envision someone with skinny fingers getting cut when reaching into their pocket for the knife. I haven't noticed anyone else mention this in comments so don't know if it is specific to my particular knife due to sloppy manufacturing tolerances or if they are all like this. But one way or another, I strongly suspect that I will lose some blood at one point (I did - twice now) if I don't modify the blade, which I hate to do. Other than that specific issue I think the knife is a very good deal, so I'll ignore the dismal order fulfillment and only knock off one star for the blade tip that is waiting to bite me.Followup:After I misplaced the knife I normally use as an EDC knife I started carrying this one and after roughly a week or so the blade tip got me again as I reached into my pocket to pull it out. This is a really disappointing flaw as I otherwise like the knife. However I'm not a big fan of pointlessly bleeding. So take that for what it is. I removed another start from my review for unnecessarily drawing blood again. (Although to be fair, not much blood.) After being cut a second time, I ground down the tip of the blade a hair, even though I was loathe to do so. I've also found my misplaced EDC knife, so this one has gone back into my knife drawer. If the quality control was better, this would be a 5 star knife for me.

Good knife sharp

This knife in the picture look well made. The blade is well centered. The blade was somewhat loose not bad but was still loose the box it comes in is cheaply made. The Micarta handles are poorly made as in they are rough with alot of Fiber material showing and felt. This could be alot better than what it is but I will still carry it as a user more than as a confident EDC knife.

Good knife for money

Good quality knife for the price. And love the color
