Beautiful

Arrived without extra blades

I am a knife collector. I bought this knife a few months ago. It's DURABLE and SHARP, it's very well made with an excellent grip and feels good in the hand. It's a pocket knife, (no clip), easily carried in the pocket and will not open accidently, the mechanism is quick and solid (REALLY A NICE LITTLE KNIFE). It takes a #60 sterile surgical stainless steel blade, can be purchased in a 100 blade pack. Yes, it's a scalpel. But not tactical, the blades are brittle.

I really like this interchangeable blade (scalpel blades) assisted open knife. The main feature, affordable changeable blades) has won me over with this knife and other other interchangeable scalpel blade knives I own. Changing the blade is quick, easy and safe when using a needle nose pliers. The blade can be changed without a pliers in an emergency but I highly recommend using a pliers. I like the handle on this knife. It is thin but thick enough to get a good hold on it. There is enough texture on the quality plastic for a good grip but not so much that the knife isn't comfortable in my hand. The pocket clip does stick out a bit but it doesn't really get in the way while using the knife. The small size makes it a pleasure to carry as it quickly isn't noticed when clipped into my pants pocket. The blade is easily opened (assisted open) by flicking one of the bolsters when the blade is closed. After the blade is partially open the spring assist takes it the rest of the way. My one complaint is the two bolsters, one on each side of the blade. When grabing the knife it isn't intuative which of the two bolsters needs to be flicked to open the knife. After a little getting used to the knife when the pocket clip is away from you the bolster for open the knife is under your right index finger assuming you are right handed. I have other scalpel assisted opening knives which only have a bolster on the sharp side of the blade which makes it more intuative to find the bolster and flick the knife open. The blade lock is a standard liner lock which I personally like quite a bit. The scalpel blades that come with this knife aren't the best I have ever used but the get the job done. I reccomend paying a bit extra for some quality replacement scalpel blades when the time comes to purchase more blades.

This little scalpel style knife is extremely compact and feels almost like a precision tool rather than a pocket knife. It is perfect for opening packages, trimming materials, or doing small scale detail tasks. The blade swaps are quick, and because it uses standard scalpel blades, you get that surgical level sharpness that you are not going to get from most tiny folders. The handle feels sturdier than it looks. It does not flex or twist even though it is so thin, and the locking mechanism clicks in place with a nice positive feel. For anyone who likes lightweight everyday carry items, this disappears in your pocket and never gets in the way. The only thing to keep in mind is that the blades are razor sharp in the most literal sense. It's not just their sharpness because you think hey sharp is sharp right? No, the blade geometry here is literally designed to slice through skin easily and smoothly. Bear this in mind. You have to be mindful when closing it or changing blades. It is small and very lightweight, therefore can be dropped easily. But if you want a precision cutter that barely takes up any room, it is a great little tool.

Pretty nice little pocket scalpel! It has pretty good fit and finish. The G10 is milled nice with smooth edges and no discernible defects. The G10 has a very light texture to it just enough to give you a little extra grip. It has a nested liner lock that’s pretty smooth. The lock bar tension is a little higher than I expected but it provides solid lock up which sits at about fifty percent. It has a fairly strong detent and uses a traditional ball detent system. The flipper action is great especially with the stronger detent it really allows that pressure to build to make that action fly open quick. The pivot is pretty smooth and I believe it’s riding on bearings and is adjustable via a T-8 bit. The clip has very strong tension and I believe is reversible via a T-6 bit. The blade was very sharp and it came with a bunch of spares which is always nice. I wish they would have included instructions on changing blades though. I had to look up a video. Overall I think this is a great little pocket scalpel and a good value that I can definitely recommend!

For the price I have zero reservations about recommending this knife. The printed design on the handle is clear and feels quality. Everything is straight and aligns nicely and I can flick it open easily with one hand It comes with the blade already installed and a foil pack of spare blades for when you need to change them out. I love that I can quickly change out the blade instead of having to sharpen it. It has a relatively thin liner lock to keep it open. I am able to close it one-handed but the liner lock isn't my personal favorite. It is standard for knives at this price range so I can't complain too much. I think this is a great knife. That makes for a funny gift at a good price point. This is a safe buy whether it's for you or for someone else (you will have to re-box it. It comes in kind of a lame lightning bolt-inspired packaging)
