1911 3" 4034SS Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade 4" Griv-Ex Handle Everyday Carry Versatile Pocket Folding Knife w/Liner Lock

Perfect in every way. Replaced mini bugout as my edc. Just a little larger as what I was looking for .Liked going back the to the liner lock on this knife, it is by far the smoothest.Light enough, compact , buttery deployment and closing.Aesthetics are great. Kinda classic and straightforward.Ergo/Grip feels nice. Sharp.Don't care to much on steel differences as I care, and sharpen accordingly.Nice knife. Now gotta get a 1911 to match. 🤦‍♂️

As usual, Cold Steel delivers a rock solid, sharp as a razor folding knife. Flipping it open is smooth and easy, locks are solid. Handle is easy to grip and big enough to hold safely, but the knife is light weight and a great size for an EDC pocket knife.

I used to be a big fan of Cold Steel's folders back in the 1990's. I loved the rendition of the Voyager line from back then (I guess I was in that group of people who liked their integrated clip design), and I felt like their knives had a little bit of heft in them.Then, they changed the way they had them made. What really did it for me is that the quality of their products got worse when they started to really have a lot of their products mass produced out of Taiwan. (Please note that this is not a slight on Taiwan or their factories/manufacturing companies: they are EXCELLENT at replicating what is PROVIDED TO THEM.)I think Cold Steel really started to cut corners on the quality of their folders at this point. Almost all of their Voyager folding knives could open smoothly with a flick of the wrist without the use of a thumb stud or some other assistance. But when they started to really expand on their manufacture overseas, they cut corners and the quality suffered. And of course, their prices just skyrocketed.Some people are super hardcore over Cold Steel, while I myself didn't care for what they were coming out with after they made their changes. I wasn't into a lot of the new designs they were coming out with (to me, they seemed to focus too much on outlandish looks rather than keep their simple designs and high functionality), and the knives were just never the same kind of quality to me after that. Any time I had tried or purchased a knife from them during this revamping period, there were always fair to poor details to the knives that were deemed as passing by their quality control. For me, it was like what they used to consider their own factory seconds became their general standard, which was disappointing.With all of that being said, this 1911 folding knife surprised me a bit. Granted, if it was just a touch larger (maybe 1/2 inch increase on the knife and handle?), it would be a great folder for me personally.The Griv-Ex handle feels secure in the hand. It feels good to hold, even if it gets wet. The deployment of the blade is smooth, and the stud is a good size and shape to not be intrusive while still function. The blade is sharp, and I appreciate this particular style of clip-point (I haven't had the need to sharpen this yet). The additional locking mechanism is nice to have, even though I am much more in the habit of just being mindful and careful whenever I handle any kind of knife.The only minor issue I have with it is that the pocket clip is just a bit too tight for me. But that was easily remedied with a pair of pliers.Are there better blade steels out there? Sure. Are there better quality knife handles? Certainly. But for the size and price of this knife, this is a decent knife to have on your person, in your backpack, your car, or where ever this would come in handy.

PERFECT EDC.1. ONE HAND QUICK OPEN, EASY RETURN WITH NO HAND ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED. 2. GOOD GRIP ,3. VERY LIGHT WEIGHT...ONLY 3.1 OZ (VERIFIED)VERY RARE SECONDARY BLADE LOCK WHEN OPEN; RESULTING IN SHEATH KNIFE STABILITY, ALONG WITH VERY THICK 3.4 mm thick, (over 1/8"), 3 inch long blade.EXCEPTIONAL ! value for the price!

Good balance when open. Secondary lock makes the blade solid. Nice size for the pocket and still be useful. I removed the clip because I just put in my pocket. Handle feels better without it. Handle fits my hand nicely for it's size. Good texture. Sharp out of box. Flipper works well, fast open. Thumb stud is a tough open.

This is a great little knife that offers amazing value for your money. It's a little heavy for its size but that has a lot to do with its very stout blade. The blade shape reminds me of their SRK which is one of my favorite fixed blades. The action is very smooth and it deploys very easily with the flipper. Lock up is solid with no play in the blade in any direction. And the secondary lock prevents any accidental closing of the knife. For the $20 I paid, you really can't go wrong. This will be something I'll carry at work with no fear of damaging or losing it like I would be with my more expensive knives.

The media could not be loaded. As you can see by my video the thumb stud works great contrary to what other reviews say and the flipper works great too. This is a great little knife came pretty sharp and fit and finish is perfect. Lockup is rock solid and the liner release works perfect with the cutout, secondary lock works as it should. I really like the liner texturing. I highly recommend this knife especially for the price.

I have carried pocketknives since I was a kid, but have never owned a Cold Steel before. It opens and closes easily, has a sharp blade right out of the box, and the blade has held a great edge so far. It seems to have a sold design, and a comfortable handle. This is a great, inexpensive daily use knife.
