LCK + Everyday Carry Assisted Folding Knife with Liner Lock: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Glass-Reinforced Nylon Handle, Pocket Clip, 3801

Not a knife expert but this is just what I was looking for. Didn’t want a knife that I had to grab blade with finger nail to open. Open assist works smartly and opens right up. Seems to be fairly sturdy and was plenty sharp. I use mostly to cut tape on boxes and open mail and keep in pocket if needed. Small enough to not be a burden in pocket. Wasn’t looking to spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy knife I’d never use.

I purchased this knife based on experience with other CRKT products, and because of the blade profile. This knife lived up to my hopes and immediately became my every day carry knife. I will refrain from specs as you can find them elsewhere, and will instead just explain why I love this tool. Form Factor: This knife is compact, but capable. It clips securely and comfortably deep in my front pocket. The blade profile is robust and built for utility, with a thick blade that narrows to a finer point. The cutting edge has a slight belly making it a versatile cutter, though the thick blade limits precision slicing of some foods like harder fruit (apples). Whether closed or open, I find this knife's aesthetic very pleasing. Function: As I said, this knife is designed more with utility in mind, but I have also used it to cut and slice food if needed. The finger stud requires minimal, but deliberate pressure to start it to the spring assisted opening threshold, which then pops the blade open quickly and securely. Once open, the liner lock engages securely and I have not experienced any instances of this knife opening or closing unintentionally. The lock can be easily and safely disengaged, and the blade closed with one hand, though doing so carelessly may get you cut if you keep this knife sharp. Common sense dictates that you close any folder using two hands anyway. After over a year of use, the blade is still firm with absolutely no loosening or side to side movement. Finally, I have always struggled to sharpen knives despite having one since I was ten. Some are easier to maintain than others, and the slight belly on this blade required some learning from mechallenge for me, though it was just a matter of technique and practice. That said, I have only had to sharpen this knife a few times since I got it fifteen months ago. In that time, I have used it mostly to open and break down cardboard boxes, in addition to a few other light carving/camp tasks. My opinion is that for the money, most users will not be disappointed of they choose to buy this knife.

I'v purchased multiple CRKT kinves over the years. They are my go to when looking for a knife. Quality is awesome. The blade holds it's edge longer than some other brands I've tried. They have my lifetime loyalty.

Holds an edge well with moderate use, great little edc utility knife.

I bought this to replace a Kershaw I've had for years. It's a good nimble edc knife. It has assisted opening and that feature is smooth and quick. The only problem was it came to me so dull, I've used sharper spoons. Once I sharpened it it seams to hold it's edge well.

This has a sleek, low‑profile design that fits right in whether you’re walking into high‑end offices or working on the farm. The assisted opening is smooth, the handle has a solid grip, and the deep‑carry clip keeps it discreet in a pocket. As someone who grew up using a knife every day, I appreciate that it’s lightweight and reliable without looking aggressive. It’s a comfortable blend of professional and practical, which makes it easy to carry no matter where you’re headed.

Great quality for the price exactly what it described it to be would totally recommend has a great locking ability. Easy to use in. The size is what it said.

Arrived properly sharpened, easily slicing paper smoothly. It's slim and the opening assist is works beautifully. The carry clip is tenacious, to the point of being perhaps a little too tight on thick pockets like jeans. It's thin enough to be comfortable even in tight pants. Lastly I like the way it looks.
