#24 silver

I have a number of folders and all the stuff to sharpen them to a fine edge. But, setting it all up and doing it takes a lot of time, so when I saw this knife with replaceable blades, I bought it to use for incidental chores around the house & shop. I was a little concerned by some of the reviews, but I've had none of the problems others said they had. Some say the blade rattles, mine doesn't. Others said it comes open in their pocket, mine doesn't, and the mechanism to keep the blade closed seems pretty robust. The workmanship seems first rate and it has features found on larger folders, e.g., a well performing liner lock, flipper for opening the blade, etc. However, while the flipper works well, finding a way to hold this little guy while opening it is a bit of an issue - it is small, and my hands fit a large glove size. But I finally got the hang of it, and I like the small size. One downside is the blade retention system takes up a lot of space and the part closest to the handle and prevents slicing through thick items. And finally, I think it's a bit pricey for what it is, but I'll keep it anyway.

I own quite a few knives and this became one of my favorites the moment I got it. It is very light, 31 grams on my scale, and the action is very smooth. It seems to be very well made and comes with extra blades in a small aluminum tin. The only fault I found was that the pocket clip was very tight and didn’t have enough upturn on the tip to slip into my pocket but this was quick easy to correct with a pair of needle nose pliers. Recommend this product.

This scalpel knife looks to be well designed and decent quality. The frame is titanium (I tested with a small neodymium magnet), while the clip is probably a steel alloy so that it better maintains its spring tension when clipped in your pocket. It has a carbon fiber inlay in the handle, and the weave reflects the light in a neat way. The flick-open action is as I would expect. Slight "trigger-like" resistance at first, to hold it closed against accidental deployment, then rapid action all the way open, and a satisfying click as the frame lock engages at the end. There are a couple of slight detents along the travel, which are probably there to help you keep the blade under control when closing it. Overall I like it, but it is a bit too small to handle easily when opening one-handed. You have to watch the positioning to avoid your palm being in the path of the tip of the blade when it starts opening. The knife's size is intended to allow it to hook onto your keychain, but I would have preferred it to be a bit longer for better handling. This doesn't strike me as an EDC knife made for heavy use and taking abuse, but it is quite good for precision cutting and slicing. I'm actually a little nervous about carrying it around, where I would be regularly reaching into my pocket with a razor flip knife clipped in there. So, even though I like this knife so far, to be my EDC knife it would really need to be about 1 inch longer and have a mechanism that locks it in the closed position.

Item is as advertised. Appears to be a very high quality, fit and finish is excellent. Sharp and should work as intended. The extra blades are a great feature. Would recommend this for anyone who has need for a small very sharp flipper opening liner lock type knife.

Very small knife - fits inside the watch-pocket of a pair of jeans, making either a nice little backup to a primary pocket-knife or a small hidden primary knife. The indent for the ball-bearing that keeps the blade closed is fairly deep, so this is safe to carry - it won't open accidentally and even using the flipper takes a little force. As for the liner-lock, it seems pretty robust - thick metal and I don't see how it could move by itself. I had to bend the nose of the pocket-clip back a little bit with a pair of pliers to allow it to slip over the thickness of a jeans' pocket, but that took 10 seconds. I'm happy with this little knife and would buy it again, maybe as small gifts for friends.

I use this knife every day

This is a great little super-sharp knife to have with you all the time. Certainly there are some tasks for which a full-sized knife are needed. But for quick little tasks this is great. You never need to sharpen it. If it gets dull you safely dispose of the blade that's on it and mount a new scalpel blade. One thing I did notice is that the screws at the front, where the blade pivots, became loose after hundreds of openings. This made the blade path wrong and the blade would strike the handle of the knife on closing. The fastener is a T8 Torx. I removed it, put a dab of purple LocTite 222 on it, and put it back in. You can't crank it down tight or the knife won't open. Pick a tightness that gives you a good opening action. Then let the LocTite cure. Perfect. Thanks for such a great little knife.

UNSAFE! This razor sharp Scalpel knife is poorly designed and dangerous. As you can see in the included image from Amazons own product page, it opens by pulling the release on top of the handle with a finger while flicking the wrist to flip (or flipper if you prefer…. 🙄) it open. It is too small to hold onto securely while you do this. So the obvious solution is to try to hold it more securely but when I did this, as the blade opened, the tip of the blade cut me on the palm where the muscle bulges out under my thumb. I have average size hands and fingers so it’s not because I’m fat fingering it. I am a pocket knife aficionado and have carried and used a spring assisted opening (the correct term for this type of opening mechanism) knife every day for as long as I can remember and have never been cut when opening one, or any other time for that matter. Also, this item has no spring assist, just the force of your flipper finger. Another dubious feature lists it as good for “EDC” meaning “Every Day Carry”. This term is often used to denote something that is of defensive value. A sharp stick would better at defending yourself with than this thing. Get a real knife and keep it “Razor” sharp and you won’t have any need for this. It might maybe sort of be useful as a tool in a small and light first aid kit or to keep in a toolbox or elsewhere where it might be used occasionally or forgotten about entirely. Bottom line - maybe it’s a decent idea if you ever think you might need to perform surgery in the backcountry (please don’t). The poor design and the dangerous method of opening is inappropriate and unsafe. Besides, who really needs to carry a way too small one handed not spring assisted opening extremely razor sharp scalpel knife that’s very hard to hold onto and control even after it’s opened cutting instrument every day? I’m glad my surgeon doesn’t…
