Elementum II Pocket Folding Knife, 2.96" Nitro-V Steel Blade G10 Handle Utility Knife with Deep Carry Pocket Clip for Camping Hiking Hunting C18062P-3

Perfectly sized EDC pocketknife. The action on the flipper is smooth and easy. No stopping only part way open. Love the button lock. The blade comes with a very nice edge on it and I love the contrast between the black blade and the OD green handle scales. It also fits nicely into the slip pocket on my Maxpedition 4X6 Platy.

Knife is sharp, flipper works smoothly but the button lock is a little disappointing, mainly due to two reasons: 1) the button is basically flush with the handle, this may be a positive to some, as it prevents accidentally pressing it but makes it particularly tricky to press. 2) the blade only swings freely if you press it with a certain amount of pressure, if you press too hard, the blade gets stuck. same thing if you don't press it enough. You have to maintain the same pressure on the button as the blade swings back into the handle, if you change the amount of pressure as the blade is moving then it will stop moving and you have to manually close it. Overall the issues with the button lock can be mitigated by learning where and how much to press the button while the blade is moving, but it nonetheless makes the knife harder to handle.

My grandson loves this so much. He loves knives and so happy with this one. Not for a younger child. My grandson is 18

Bought as gifts for myself and both son-in-laws. They were thrilled and have enjoyed them. Solid knives and great looking!

I really like the locking mechanism. It is smooth, the knife has very little flex when it is open, and it just seems like a high-quality knife overall.
