Grand Way Folding Knife - Decorative Pocket Knife for EDC and Outdoor - Classic Blade and Wooden Inlays on Handle FB 0017

Sturdy & functional folding knife. Nice blade and good craftmenship, and great value. Little dirty and stiff on arrival but a little oil fixed that. Finger nick too far back in the blade for some reason. Larger than Im normally comfortable using as an EDC without a sheath (a full 3.5 in blade), but was surprised because given the size its pretty light weight. Due to this you could effectively use it as an EDC pocket knife.

2.5 - not a bad looking knife but for Grand Way it felt kinda cheap. The quality of the blade wasn’t too sharp and the ridges up top weren’t very appealing. Maybe they were meant to be gimping but it just felt like a poor design choice.I returned mine because it has a crack in the wood handle where one of the metal rivers or pegs was sanded down. The wood itself didn’t seem too great and didn’t seem like it was protected or anything.

I'm a big fan of Grand Way knives. If you're looking for a great knife for under $20 you can't go wrong with these. Like another reviewer noted, it is a little difficult to open, but with a little oil it's much better. The blade is a little smaller than another one I bought but I like that as it fits a little easier in the pocket. It's sharp as hell and if it is in fact 440c it's an incredible deal. I've looked over many of their knives and they seem pretty honest with the ones using 420 steel so I suspect this 440c is legit. 440c is a great steel, just look it up. There is a famous knife maker who has written a lengthy post on his site about this steel (Jay Fisher). I'd like to have a pocket clip, but on the other side of that it might retract from the beauty of the wood. Try finding a knife with a real wood handle for under $20. It doesn't exist, they are all pakka wood or some other manufactured plastic stuff. Anyway, again I highly recommend these knives if you're a budget knife lover like me. Picture is of another $11 Grand Way posted next to this one.

Good solid knife. Mine is very good looking and seems well made. It was scary sharp and is holding a good edge.
