Won’t stay closed when upside down

I did not like this knife when I got it out of the box. The handle scales look and feel cheap and the edges are not broken so it is a little bit uncomfortable to hold and use. That being said, I carried this knife on the weekends and while doing chores on my land after work for almost 2 months now. I am pretty impressed with it. I don't like the look or feel of the knife so I have not been trying to be gentle with it. The blade leaves something to be desired with edge retention but you can't expect great steel with a cheap knife. I have not broken the blade and it hasn't dulled to the point of being completely useless. I think this would be a useful option for someone that wants a knife they can leave in a camping set or bug-out bag and not worry about losing it or as a first knife for a child. I prefer a knife that feels better in the hand but that is my opinion, other people might like the feel of this.

This is hands down one of the best budget knives I've ever bought from Amazon. I don't own any knives with the wire-type pocket clip so I figured at 12.99 it was worth the price to try one out. The clip is actually a little wider than the standard metal pocket clips, it also has a little wider opening at the bottom making it easier to clip over your pocket, and it's very easy to draw the knife from your pocket as well. The G10 handle scales are very smooth and comfortable in the hand. The blade on the knife that I received was very sharp right out of the box and required no honing in my opinion. The blade finish is nicely done and the top part of the blade above the decorative groove is stonewashed. It does have brass ball bearing washers, but the action isn't quite as smooth as you would expect, it does require a little flick of the wrist when deploying the blade but it still snaps open all the way and locks in place. Being a medium sized knife it's perfect for EDC. This knife is now in my daily carry rotation and will see a lot of use in the near future as it's quickly become my new favorite.

Took a chance on this one before there were any reviews - the overall design and unique milling on the G10 scales caught my eye. It has exceeded my expectations. It’s lightweight due to the nested liners, but it is overall incredibly robust and well made. The lockup is rock solid and there’s absolutely no blade play. The milling and contouring of the scales is definitely a high point on this knife. It’s super comfortable and grippy and you don’t see this kind of milling very often on budget knives. Everything is well rounded and there are no sharp edges on the knife - except for the blade of course. Which brings me to the blade- it’s sharp! And pokey. No complaints there at all. If I did have any complaints about this knife, one would be that the billboarding (logo) on the blade is ugly and too dark. Kinda tarnishes the whole aesthetic but I’ll get over it. This is a user knife, not a show knife. Another slight negative is that the detent ball is too big. When pressing the lock bar in to close the knife you have to make a little more effort than on most knives to make sure the blade is riding on the detent ball before you release the lock bar. Otherwise it’s going to completely hang up on that ball. It’s really not a huge deal though and I got used to it very quickly. The detent is otherwise perfect and makes for snappy deployment via the flipper tab or the thumb hole. Both deployments feel very tight, satisfying and ‘clicky’. Overall I’m very happy with my purchase and I can tell that this is a knife that I won’t hesitate to use due to a combination of blade sharpness, robust build quality and solid lockup.

Ever since breaking the tip on my last pocketknife I have been looking for a replacement so I thought I would give this one a try. Based on using this knife for a while now I can tell you that it is a super sharp pocketknife - both the blade and the tip. I have had and used knives for fifty years now and know what to look for and what to avoid and this one definitely is in the keeper category. It is so sharp that it slides through most things fast enough that you better be ready for it, so you don't hurt yourself our cut something else accidentally. It is one of the few knives that you really need to use with extra care because if you mess up it isn't going to stop if it makes contact with your own body. I barely bumped the tip with my hand, and it started bleeding and the blade edge is the same way. I haven't had to sharpen it yet so I can't speak to how well that aspect works but as far as keeping an edge, I have used it every day now multiple times and it's still as sharp as day one. I really can't say enough good about this knife and have no problems with recommending it to anyone looking for a good pocketknife.

I didn't expect much, and I wasn't wrong. This knife is very low quality. It's barely sharp. It just feels cheap. There is no locking mechanism. It's what is called a "friction folder." That's not necessarily a bad thing, but this knife just screams junk. I would not recommend this knife for any reason. This is the second Rush Deer knife I've received and they are both just absolute garbage.

The Verdict: DON'T RECOMMEND The GOOD: - D2 blade steel - G10 handle scales - Switchable wire pocket clip - Flipper for opening - Very lightweight - Comes quite sharp The BAD: - Almost too light - Flipper doesn't always fully deploy blade out of the box - Some machined parts are poor quality - Many other good name-brand options at this price point - Blade hangs up upon closing (detent ball) Changes to get 5-stars: - Everything in the bad list for starters Bottom Line: The knife has good materials, but it just doesn't function as well as I'd like even after some adjustment and lubing. For the price, I know I can get some other great name brand knives. Details: Overall I really wanted to like this knife. I'm going to carry it for a few days and put it in my EDC rotation to see how it does. The biggest issue I have is that it doesn't deploy the blade very well. They claim to have ball bearings, which none of my other knives do, and it still hangs up sometimes and doesn't lock. If you flick your wrist while using the flipper you'll nearly always get a good deployment. Either it needs some cleaning and more adjustment or the bearings aren't very good. The other issue I had which has mostly resolved itself is the liner lock. It would lock so tightly you could barely release the blade. After carrying it around for a day some of the oil I put on the bearings must have ran down to the locking part of the blade and that seemed to help. It is consistent and requires only moderate force to release now. The knife is very light and almost to a fault. The G-10 scales are nice with good texture and the blade has some heft to it. The rest of the handle doesn't offer much weight and so the blade feels heavy and not well balanced. I honest had a smaller number in my mind for price, but checking now and seeing that this goes for $29 almost makes me drop from 3-stars to 2-stars. For the price, this knife just doesn't perform like many others in the pricepoint. ************************************************ My Rating Scale: 5 STARS - Item worked better than advertised and exceeded my expectations. The item provided more value than I anticipated and is a great deal. The item seems very well made and should last for a long time. (HIGHLY recommend) 4 STARS - Item worked exactly as expected if not slightly better. Item appears to be made well. I have no major complaints, it just didn't exceed my expectations (Good value, well made, met expectations, would recommend) 3 STARS - Item worked as expected without any surprises, good or bad, and did what I expected it to do (met expectations; might recommend if a good value) 2 STARS - Item easily wore out or didn't work as well as described, was disappointing for the price, and/or was of poor quality (might return if expensive; would not recommend). 1 STAR - Item easily broke/failed, did not match description and was not useful or did not worked as described (do not buy; return if possible; would not recommend; junk/waste of money).
