Eafengrow EF226 Folding Knives D2 Blade and G10 Handle Knife Outdoor Camping Hiking EDC Tools (Jade)

A lot of knife for the price. Well made. Highly recommend if you want a larger pocket knife. The handle shape is great for slicing.

I love these Eafengrow knives because they're robust, strong, and dirt cheap. This one is larger than I thought it would be, looking at the pictures. It's also more robust than it looks in the pictures, built tough and heavy. I use Eafengrows as my exclusive EDC knives because they're well made enough to get the job done, whatever the job is, and if I break it or lose it I won't have a nervous breakdown over it. I'll just spend another thirty bucks and order another. I've got several knives from this manufacturer and I've been uniformly pleased with every single one. Every one of them opens and closes easily (ball bearing pivots) and locks up like the door of a bank vault. Some have complained about the opening of this knife, saying the flipper tab is too small. Sure, it could use a slightly longer tab but it took me about fifteen seconds to figure out the mechanics of opening it instantly and believe me, it's no problem at all. If you look at the blade you'll see some cutouts up near the spine. I don't know that they were intended as such but you can put your thumb on that section and open the knife like a conventional folder, and it works just as well as one with a big hole cutout or thumb stud. Believe me, for the ridiculously low price you can't go wrong with this blade.

This is a fantastic knife. It is sharp, holds an edge, looks amazing, has a PHENOMENAL grip for a flip open knife, (you can REALLY, get a good grip on it without worrying about your hand slipping up and cutting yourself on the blade) but it has one minor flaw. It's hard up open. The flipper is really high up on the knife and it takes some getting used to. But, it's worth it. Such a great knife in every other way. I'm only leaving 4 stars in hopes the seller sees this and can maybe do something about moving the flipper paddle back down the handle to make it easier to reach and open. But, honestly, none of changes how great this knife it. I highly recommend you buy it. Safest flip over, non- fixed blade on the market. And, it's good looking, sharp and D2 steel is such a great steel for an EDC pocket knife. I have LOTS of pocket knives and this ranks #2 for best pocket knife I own. (It would be number one if the flipper peddle to open the knife were easier to reach). You can't go wrong with this purchase. I'm very happy. EDIT: I have found that using the flipper tab is the least effective way to open this knife. Instead, it's the blade itself to open it one handed. The blade has cutouts and a little ledge on the top at the same height where you would normally find a flipper trash. Those cutouts allow you to get a SOLID grip with your thumb and flip it open easily. Duh.. why didn't I think of that before. It took a few times to practice getting used to reaching for the top of the blade with my thumb instead of the back of knife with my pointer finger, but once I got used to opening it with my thumb it was very easy. It's just a simple re-training of the brain. I'd update it to 4.75 stars if that was an option now that I've retrained my brain. Plus with this handle design they did the best the could. I've looked this over and there is no way for them to change the location of the flipper paddle unless you had some sort of piece of metal sticking down at the back part of the blade. Which might be kind of convenient. It would make it kind of like a sword cross guard or a tsuba if you're more familiar with samurai swords, but more like a cross guard. Which, could actually be pretty nice as long as it didn't get in the way.

I have one other Eafengrow knife, and both are surprisingly good values for so little money! This knife came razor sharp right out of the box, the materials and craftsmanship are first rate, and the look and design of this knife is actual on the exotic end of the spectrum! Someone else mentioned it, but the one thing I'm not crazy about us the pocket clip. It just seems totally underwhelming, given the exotic look of the rest of the knife. I'm right handed, and one of the things that surprised me a lot is that this knife is just as easy to flip open with my left hand as it is in my right hand! That's a very rare feature, in my experience! I own a LOT of knives, with quite a few in the 150 and above price range. Based on the reviews and (now) my own experience, I can highly recommend this flipper to anyone looking for a very sharp, inexpensive EDC blade that does everything I'd ever want a knife to do ... AND it just flat looks COOL!

Pros materials nice g10 scales, D2 steel. The blade design is unique and very cool looking. The handle size is a good compliment to the blade design. Feels good in the hand. Cons the flipper tab is at a very steep angle making it hard to open. The tab itself is quite sharp has a large burr that digs into your finger very uncomfortable as you have to apply a great deal of pressure to get the knife to open. I was hoping after it broke in some it would get easier but it's not the case. As a matter of fact it also now sticking on something making using the tab almost impossible considering it's at a bad angle and the burr. If this knife had cost anymore I would have returned it but I will file the burr and see if I can work on the action and keep to have as a beater knife. Too bad like I said it has great materials especially being a sub 30 dollar knife.

I really like this knife. Eafengrow is fast becoming one of my favorites. I have three of their knives now. The ball bearing action is my favorite part. Craftsmanship is superior overall with little blade knife f any and edges are precise all around. All that said. This is a large knife. And I have xl hands. I was looking for a large knife, but others should know that this isn’t a casual edc. It’s big AF. Good for camping etc. the green handles were a first for me. They make it easier to find and look nice as well. Just a little different from other options. The handle thickness is also of note. This makes it good for using, but large in the pocket. You’ll be aware of it when moving around. Overall a good substantial knife but don’t try and conceal it too much.

This clone of the WE knife is a fraction of the cost. I can’t confirm it is D2 but the edge has held up to early testing. Very nice flipper stud that almost instantly deploys the knife on the ball bearings. Great looking two tone blade and handle was much more comfortable than I expected. As with all the knives I’ve gotten from this company it is heavy and all hardware is clean and tight. I dont have enough interest in this design to spend hundreds of dollars on it but I wanted to play with one and for this cost I am very happy. This knife company offers a very affordable try before you buy opportunity on some very expensive knives. Nothing worse than you not loving how your $300 knife doesn’t fit your hand or needs.

Ok I just got this knife and it’s not bad for the price. First of its a close replica to an Elijah Isham knife design and made by WE knifes the WE Eschaton with the WE Arrakis blade and they did a very good job of it. Now that being said I noticed a few issues like the blade sticks out a little when closed so it could bit you when your reaching into your pocket to get it out. Also there’s no protection when you break the liner lock to close it again the blade could bityou or go through your thumb nail but if your carful and have handled knifes before you should be ok. That being said the action on this knife is great and even the detent is pretty darn good too. You can use the flipper or Finger flick it like a Spiderco knife you can also use your thumb and even shake it out so the action is surprisingly good If this was the original WE Eschaton or Arrakis it would be $350.00 so for $26.00 it’s a great buy and a good replica of a great knife. Pretty nice though I love this style knife. Elijah Isham is a great knife designer. Well worth the money. Good buy.

Good
