Grand Way12.2" Retro Folding Knife with Wood Handle & Leather Sheath - 7.8" Long Foldable Sharp Blade - Large Pocket Knife for Men Camping Hunting Survival Work 12 KG

This knife answers the question of how do you fold an almost 6 inch blade into a 5 inch handle. This may not be an EDC knife, at least not for me, but I am so glad I have it in my collection. It is a unique piece, and it's absolutely beautiful. The materials and workmanship are top of the line. It's perfectly safe and will not collapse onto your fingers as one reviewer said. Another reviewer has detailed how to open and close it safely and how to lock the blade. This very affordable knife is more than a show pony. It would be great on camping and hunting trips.

This is a very unique knife. Some reviews caution you can easily cut yourself upon closing it; and that is VERY ACCURATE CAUTION. But like most risks: if you know it and take note and use care accordingly the risk is very manageable. The closing issue is it takes a little pressure to close the blade back fully and you need to BE SURE you hold the back side (not sharp side) of blade carefully and not get fingers in way as it closes and not stick yourself with sharp point in closing. This just requires EXTRA CARE and MINDFULNESS every time you close it, and it's not hard (as long as you remember and use that care). BEYOND THAT this is a perfect knife (so far; just got it but think it will perform/last fine and work well for me.FACTS: 1. Case: I disagree with those negative comments on the case; it is fine and has a very effective strap that snaps over and VERY SECURELY holds knife in the very decent case. 2. Weight and Size: It is NOT a LIGHT WEIGHT KNIFE, but it is a big knife and solid hence some weight. This is NOT a problem in general, so long as you don't want to pocket carry it (which is NOT my intention, so fine by me). 3. NOT a good self defense knife in sudden emergency. It is a MANUAL Blade that opens in 2 steps (opens to 90 degrees and cllck stops and them continues on to 18o degrees and clicks again and lock into a straight, open blade. NO button or spring to open (manual, slow opening). 4. The blade is LONG-- this is the beauty of this knife! It is essentially 3 parts: the case, the blade and a fold in/fold out blade extension receptor. The fold in/fold out blade tip receptor covers (very effectively/safely) the last few inches of blade WHEN it is closed up; otherwise the blade, when closed, would be protrude a few inches longer than the main hard case, so that extended blade needs to be covered when putting it back in case; this functions well and seems very solid and effective and is VERY UNIQUE feature). 5. Case Fit: After opening up the blade end cover, such that it. is over the blade of the last few inches, you must put it in the case in proper manner such that the tab that snaps over it covers and holds the knife VERY SECURELY in case. NOTE: Mine had NO INSTRUCTIONS with it, but was easy for me to figure out ... but I added these details since mine came w/o instructions and might help others to figure out this VERY UNIQUE big knife, that folds down to compact size and a secure carry case. For my wants (longer blade than normal pocket knife, yet compact for easier carry than most long knives) it is perfect. I would NOT use it for an emergency self defense knife OR for a pocket carry knife ... it's more of a full sized knife when opened up). It's excellent if your needs are right for it; it is very solid, operates smoothly and works very well ... if you need/want a LONGER blade knife that can fold up and be carried is secure case. I think the size of blade and weight specs are listed on Amazon description. It is a big, solid knife when opened up.

Great value for the money!

This knife is great fun, I used it the other day to cut a sandwich to share with my friend. They were very impressed and begged me to tell them where I got it from. I told them "no" because I don't like copy cats. Overall, I'd say the knife is sharp and kind of looks like a wanna be bayonet, but there is no bayonet lug on it, so don't even think about attaching it to a rife!

Great knife. Sharp, well built....couldn't ask for more. This one will be with me for a long time.

This knife really impressed me, especially for the price. I'm 6'3" with big hands, so I wanted a large knife and this thing is perfect. It also made me the envy of all the men in my family when I took it to a family event, who were all fascinated by the quality and way it folds/locks. I included a photo of it open to show size, and nearly closed to make it more obvious how it open and closes because I was a little confused when first viewing this online — the little piece folds into the handle and acts as the lock, then folds out to house the blade.The 440C stainless steel and rosewood handle are very nice, although my blade had a minor scratch on it out of the package that I can't buff out, and it's nearly impossible to keep fingerprints off it, but those are minor compared to the awesomeness of this knife. I don't use it for heavy-duty rope-cutting, so I can't speak for it's long-term durability but it seems solid.I was hoping to carry this with me daily, but it's honestly just too intimidating to justify carrying this thing around as standard pocket knife, and it is big enough that it sticks out or is pretty obvious there's a giant knife in your pocket. It's a big red flag/attention grabber. That's not really the fault of the knife, just worth mentioning in case others are considering it for that purpose. Case seems fine and has a belt loop, so it might be handy for people that work on farms, etc. that don't need to worry that it's too big to carry around.The only really downside I see is that the piece that folds out to house the blade is a bit more flimsy than the rest of the blade, so I'm hoping it doesn't become a factor down the road. Not terrible, but flimsy enough that I'm not sure you could use that end to break glass in an emergency, but the handle is solid enough you could likely use the other, flat end.If you're looking for an impressive blade to show off to friends and make yourself feel safe, this is as good of an option as I can imagine.

It's very nice knife. People complaining about the knife blade possibly folding back onto their fingers, don't know how to use the knife.If you fold the extended part that protects the tip of the knife blade back into the handle, when the blade is open and exposed, it will keep the blade from folding back onto anybody's fingers. It's that simple!
