NedFossELF Pocket Knife, 3.3" D2 Blade EDC Knife with G10 Handle, Flipper Open, Deep Carry Pocket Clip, Lightweight Slim Utility Folding Knives for Men Women

This is one awesomely handsome knife for the money. Damascus steel usually costs more. It is a beautiful blade, sharp, fits in the hand well and opens really smooth. Lock button is an absolute plus.

I was very curious about the action of this knife-- how could it open easily with one hand without spring assist? I do have a small collection of knives, and tend to collect those that have unusual actions. For whatever reason, I had never heard of ball bearing pivot knives before. My own experience is consistent with the most positive reviews here: It opens REALLY easily, as effortlessly as any spring-assist. The engineering is quite impressive. I spent over $30 on this, and feel like it was a fair price. Build quality is outstanding, no side-to-side play, nothing asymmetrical, no loose screws or uneven parts, blade is almost perfectly centered. I have also dropped this from above hip height onto a hardwood floor-- not a scratch, absolutely no damage.Hey, assisted knives can be too intimidating for some uses. This is a great choice for a family backyard BBQ, or some work functions, where you don't want a knife that opens with a loud snap that attracts a lot of attention and you don't want to give off a thug vibe. It may even be legal in some places where spring assisted knives are not, but check the (probably arcane and incomprehensible) laws for your town, city, state, country, and/or planet.The liner lock is solid enough that I suspect it would do quite well if it had to be used for defense-- I don't see this thing folding back on your fingers, though anything is possible, and I suppose the most reliable knife for SD would be one with a safety.It is almost elegant looking-- I almost wish it had a wood or bone or MOP handle, but whatever material the handle is made is probably just right, certainly scratch resistant and lightweight.One reviewer commented that it opened in their backpack-- I have not tested this, but I can believe it, because the spring holding the blade closed-- if there even is one-- is relatively soft. I would not keep this in a backpack or tackle box, and I'm not carrying it biking or skiing, but it feels totally safe in my pocket, has not opened even partially, not even once.Overall, great design, and a great choice for settings where you want a capable, one-handed EDC that won't frighten the children (too much.)

This is the perfect size Every Day Carry (EDC) / Tactical Knife for my front pocket.The handle and blade are ideally crafted for hand-to-knife encounters with any threat. The flipper mechanism quickly and easily deploys the knife blade from being folded to the locked-out and ready position. The blade is sharp and shaped more like a high-end Italian Stellito fighting knife. If you don't have $300 to shell out on a Stellito ... Perhaps you should consider spending less than $40 on this one?

This ELF Ned Foss pro is a super nice knife. It's very light! It has a sturdy, tight, and long clip. You will forget it is on you! It's a PERFECT size if your hands are medium. The blade shape is perfect. Solid lockup. No safety lock, so be careful not to push the button which is not recessed at all. This is a knife for people who know how to use knives. Well worth the price at sixty $.

Great knife, easily matches up with my Benchmade knives. The fit and finish is 2nd to none. The G10 scales are every bit as finished, and actually join better than my Benchmade. The blade arrived super sharp, just a hair under what I can do with a few hour of work but then I polish the edge to a mirror finish and this can't be expected on any knife. It opens with a pull of the stud and snaps perfectly with the liner lock securely setting the blade. Absolutely no wiggle at all once open. I can't say that for my benchmade EDC Osborne as in order to remain nimble, you need to keep it a little loose. I haven't taken this apart yet and it looks like it has thrust bearings against the blade. The blade is perfectly centered as well so if you use a sharpening jig, it is going to have a nicely balanced edge. With a knife like this on the market, if I were any of the high-end companies, I'd be concerned. Granted the liner lock is a two-handed close operation and that would be the only knockoff.Jerry

Held off one star on craftsmanship because one of the clip screws was really high, and when I went to tighten it it felt like it stripped almost instantly!BUT, I think it was just hung up on the polymer, because when I used a lot of pressure, I felt the threads engage, and I very carefully set it to the same height as the other screw. It feels pretty secure now, and unlikely to back out any time soon.This is replacing a Gerber Fuse, which I liked a lot, which was smoother, lighter, and thinner, and rode below the clip in my pocket.But given this knife was a little less, and seems stronger by far, with better handling, and looks much better by far, I am glad I didn't just pick up another Gerber.I have made a decision I am not going to buy any more EDC knives without lanyard holes. This knife has a lanyard hole through both the handle material, and the metal frame, so I am confident it will wear well.This knife
