IMP22Y Folding Pocket Knife, Stainless Steel for Outdoor, Outdoor Survival and EDC,Silver

I've been around a long time. I remember Imperial knives from the 1950s and still have those I got as a boy. Today, Imperial is no longer made in the USA. They're made in China, as are a good deal of knives today. So what? This is a great Sodbuster Jr style knife at a fraction of the cost and built to last. Sharp out of the box and takes an edge well. I like this style knife and the fit and finish is great. I don't care where it's made, I care how it's made! This one is reminiscent of the old Imperial knives I bought in the 50s and 60s.

Great little knife. Very inexpensive and makes a great gift. Great for every day carry and if you lose it you aren’t out much money. Buy several and you will never lose it… lol

This is a very nice looking knife and for under $10, it's an even better deal. The yellow is kinda opaque, but if you use some plastic polish it shines right up rather nicely. Came very well sharpened, the opening and closing is a bit gritty, but some PB Blaster and some opening and closing fixes it right up. Feels good in the hand and comfortable, it would make for a great knife for a first timer or for a seasoned user as well. I've got the bigger model (IMP22L) and wanted to add this one to the collection, I can fully say I don't regret it.

IF "made in China" is offensive, than this knife is probably NOT the knife brand for you because that's where it's made. I bought this little knife for mostly opening boxes and packages coming into the shop, but the lil' yellow stinker has managed to whittle it's way into my pocket outside of there quite frequently. Initially, I just looking for a basic, simple, one-bladed pocket knife that didn't cost me a small fortune. I was not disappointed with this particular one. Good lock up, not too hard to pull the blade, bright yellow helps makes it easier to see where I left it as I'm always setting it down, get busy and not paying attention where i put it. Blade is centered and not loose at all. It has many of the qualities of a much more expensive knives. About the only cmplaint, like others have mentioned, it was a little gritty out of the box, but a good cleaning/oiling and working with it has made it smooth out rather nicely....no complaints with that now. It didn't take me too long to get it razor sharp, and it seesm to hold the edge fairly well for a knife at this price point. It's not made of the best knife blade steel out there, but it is more than adequate for the use it was purchased for. FWIW, when it does start to dull, and it will, I give it a few passes on my strop and it's right back to being plenty sharp enough for the purposes that it's used for. On top of all of that, IF I do happen to lose it, I'm not out a big ole bunch of money. Overall, I'm wll-pleased with it as it meets my needs quite well. Bottom line: I just like it.

Look, I collect knives i have for close to fifty years. Many I own are very old ans many are new, well known brands. I use most of my knives. And I often purchase knives that are low cost, and watch them elevate in price over time. I purchased these knives for my grandsons. To be honest I was shocked at the fit and finish. I found then superior to knives that cost much more. Im impressed

Great knife for the cost it’s hard to beat. Blade was centered and very sharp.

Very good pocket knife for a low price!

Fa quello che fa... L'affilatura non era un gran che ed ho dovuto lavorare un po' per renderla accettabile. Un coltello di poche pretese. Da usare nei vari lavoretti senza paura di rovinarlo, vsto il costo. Almeno non è un misero cinese...

Das Messer gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Ich habe nichts auszusetzen. Die Klinge hat eine gute Gebrauchsschärfe, ist recht gut zentriert und wackelt nicht. Griffschalen und Rückenfeder sind schön ohne fühlbare Übergänge verschliffen und poliert. Aus meiner Sicht ein gutes und günstiges EDC.

Ideal para el bolsillo, tamaño perfecto para comida de todo tipo (fruta, verdura, cortes y fritanga). Trae muy buen filo, es ligera y discreta. Viene muy rugosa de fábrica, hay que limpiarla y aceitarla. Tiene buen muelle pero su apertura y cierre es un poco rugoso al principio pero con el uso se asienta y tiene un push-pull de muelle firme y bueno, se siente seguro. Si vale la pena por el precio. Llego un día antes del esperado, muy bien amazon!!! TOMA 2; compre la segunda y esta igual de buena que la primera, es una navaja EXCELENTE.

Buena construcción Buen acero, retiene bien el filo y es fácil de afilar Buen plástico en las cachas No tiene juego entre las piezas Muy bonito diseño ¡Excelente para el precio!

La navaja es bonita similar al tamaño de una farmer de vitorinox. En este caso la navaja llego totalmente seca en su mecanismo y con un polvo blanco, supongo que residuos de la fabricacion de las cachas las cuales son de plástico imitando al hueso, limpie, aceite y saque algo de filo ya que tiene poco afilado de fabrica. Es una buena navaja para un uso sin exigir tanto o para coleccionar. Me costo $202 MXN = 10.14 dolares a la fecha Octubre del 2022.
