XTOUC Small Pocket Knife 2.5" Stone Wash D2 Blade Folding Knives Reversible P...

This was an unknown company to me. Even though I am aware of a few of the Chinese knife brands, this one escaped me. It not exactly being an English word, did not install confidence. However I was greatly surprised. The blade is sandblasted D2 steel and comes with a toothy edge. D2 is near stainless, but with sandblasting you are going to get rust speckling if the blade isn’t kept oiled. The tip of the blade sits below the midline so you can still easily do draw cuts. The jimping is rounded in the edges but still grips from down pressure. Handle: the handle scales are gorgeous. The red g-10 teardrop around the pivot accents the hunter green micarta. They are contoured and blend well with the full steel liners. Action: The blade runs on brass caged ball bearings and falls shut on closing. Lock up is about 50% and has no movement when locked up. Nit Picks: The opening hole isn’t the easiest to use. I had to get used to getting the proper purchase if I wanted the blade to deploy with any chance of locking up. Oddly, if they had not chamfered the inside of the opening hole, it would provide a lot more purchase and make the blade easier to open. The pocket clip is long. It goes 2/3 the length of the knife. This would be a perfect knife to have a shortened pocket clip like seen on the Bugout. Overall, a surprisingly good little knife that I would recommend for anyone looking for a small folder.

I'm more than pleased. I have medium hands and don't sense a "chunkiness" at all. It's just right for good ergos. Substantial, not cheap feeling. This is a little beauty and a beast for sure. A really pleasing design. Thicker blade justifies the width. All boxes checked positive: fit/finish, sharpness, drop/deploy, grippy, smooth bearings, actions, jimping has been extended to end of thumb hole (unlike early model production YouTube reviews), good lockup, working blade geometry, ample choil/4 fingers grip, centered blade/no movement and great production/quality control. This is really a good example of the form and function axiom. Comes off looking more like a $50 knife. Very high value for the cost and more so. Most definitely recommend. Have ordered another to gift,,, a "pay it forward" gesture.

Surprisingly good knife at this price point. Action was a little tight at first but has smoothed out pretty quickly. Feels very solidly built. Blade came pretty sharp, but unevenly sharpened. After a touch up it will be great.

Very nice, well built EDC knife

Love this knife. Perfect size. Razor sharp. Buy it. You will not regret it I have been carrying it daily now for several months. I like it more now than when I first received it. The blade has stay sharp longer than I thought it would since I use it a lot cutting open boxes and typical daily stuff. I honestly cannot give this knife nothing but a 5 star review for what it is. It is an extremely low cost EDC knife and if I break it of loose it, I will not be mad at all. So far, it has taken everything I have thrown at with daily use.

Butter smooth action, feels very solid, easy one-hand use, functional little blade--very sharp out-of-box; handle is very comfortable to grip and use knife. I haven't used it for long yet--but the fit, function and feel is absurdly good for the price--better than some knives costing 2-3 times more! Great little EDC for home/work/camp, etc. I'm really impressed!

This knife is awesome. I'm a mover, and generally use my knife alot. I have an Esee Izula 2 and that works like a dream, I just wanted something smaller. And boy does this cut it. Literally. No exaggeration it is a beautifully sharp blade. The size is also great enough to move smoothly and precisely, the mircata handle is also awesome. And the pocket clip, it sneaks into your pocket like a theif in the night, even better than my already great Ontario Rat. Ill be writing a review for that workhorse soon. I'd recommend this over and over again, and will definitely be buying this product. Over, and Over again. And for 20 bucks, it's a damn near steal for a 50 dollar knife

I've only had it a couple of days, so I can't report how well it holds up. I do have a negative observation though. I recall a comment by another reviewer, that the blade should have a thumb stud for opening it with. I agree. The ergonomics need adjustment. On mine the scales need to be thinner so my thumb can engage the port in the blade so that I could easily open the knife one handed. I can open it 2 handed easily, but not one handed. The knife is very sharp right out of the box, and I'll keep it as it meets my needs for a utility knife. The handle fits my hand very well, and I expect it will work well in the future. I noted too that the blade locks open well with no wobble in any direction. 4 stars because I can't give 3.5!
