## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great utility and quality, well worth the price.
*by D***L on August 24, 2025*

Excellent quality control. No blade wobble. Secure frame lock. All screws snug. Opens and closes with ease. Good design, ergonomics and build. I recommend this crkt knife as a good investment, well worth the price. Outperforms knives costing double this price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It does what it says
*by A***  on September 12, 2025*

It’s sharp and sturdy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great EDC
*by D***Y on August 13, 2025*

Built solid, no blade wiggle at all, came with a good edge on it. Fits the hand well despite its small size. Not as light as some others this size, but undoubtedly more rugged. Good EDC. The stonewash is a very nice looking finish.
