Gravityard Utility , Folding Knife - 2.9" Steel Blade, Outdoor, Hunting, Fishing, Camping Sharp Knife (Gold)

Awesome, super fun fidget with an awesome noise! Came fairly dull, whatever, got it sharp enough to shave, holding edge well. Hope I find it again soon, lost it after a week

Different kind of ‘folding ‘ knife, as the blade doesn't fold out from or back into the body, but instead slides in and out of the body. Despite a nice, fancy packaging (metal case, lots of soft foam and felt-like material, etc.), there isn't any instructions on how to access the blade, so it took a little trial and error to understand how this knife works. Since the blade can slide out quite quickly when you lift the one arm of the body, you do need to be careful. The blade is sharp, as you'd expect from any new knife, and the knife feels comfortable in the hand, but there's some wiggling of the blade when open, so quality and longevity is uncertain. An open ‘case’ is included, not too sure of its functionality or quality (some loose stitching). Overall an okay knife, compact, but don't think this would be an everyday knife, more of an in case of emergency knife, maybe keep in the glove compartment or similar.

The media could not be loaded. What a beautiful blade, housing, and deployment.Pros: very sharp blade out of box, beautiful housing for the blade and blade deployment is smooth and feels solid.Cons: after deploying the blade I did notice that there is some play when using the knife. It's minor but the blade will shift and up and down and side to side but it feels negligible. The blade housing could be a little longer, it feels like it could slip out of grip during aggressive use. I have small hands for a man. I'm 5'8".Final thoughts: I think this is a solid and affordable competitor for those unable to afford the high price tag for a Reate EXO. The housing could be longer and there could be less play after deployment.

While it isn't as high quality as a Reate Exo, this knife is 1/8th the price. It is well designed as a backup knife; able to be deployed or stowed with a single hand. It is a very handy size, and comfortable in my hands.As a couple of the other reviews didn't understand how this sort of knife works, let me 'splain. One of the side panels locks the blade into place. You slide the panel out of way with your thumb, keeping the opening pointed downwards and the blade will slide out of the handle. Release the panel and it springs back into place, locking the blade. I personally find this mechanism easier to use than traditional folding knives, though you need to be careful to keep the blade opening pointed somewhere safe when deploying the blade. To close it is the same as opening. Slide the panel open, point the blade upwards and it will slide into the handle.I'm a bit dubious about the durability of the hilt, as it is aluminum that is locking the steel blade nub into place. Eventually the aluminum will deform; how long that takes I don't know yet. I'm also curious how long the spring on the slide hinge will last (Though I like the spring action, makes it even easier to use which may matter to people with poor coordination.)All in all I recommend this knife for someone that wants an inexpensive gravity knife to stash in a glovebox, or tool kit. There is no belt clip, and the sheath it comes with has its loop in the wrong direction for good belt storage. So while not perfect, it s GREAT for its price.

This is a decent clone of the Reate exo gravity knife at a fraction of the cost of the original. Overall I'm very happy, would be better if it had a belt clip but I understand the design choice. Came stupidly sharp from the factory and opens nice and smooth. This is not a knife you hand a non-knife person but is cool and welcome in my collection!

Cool knife

I stabbed myself the first time I used this, trying to figure out how to open it. This does not open easily with one hand. You slide what looks like a button forward, and it's supposed to lift up the top half of the knife, then when it snaps in place, comes back down and locks the knife. I was able to get it to do that with some effort, but it was not easy or smooth. I'll use this two handed, lifting the top half of the knife and then sliding the blade forward. Once in place, it was locked, but it wiggled a bit. The handle is made of some sort of aluminum alloy and is nice, but wish it were more ergonomic, and not so square. It's a decent knife, but isn't one that totally delivers in my opinion.

Quality is questionable
