M Miguron Velona Flipper Folding Knife 4.03" Dark Grey PVD 14c28n Blade Grey G10 Handle With Titanium Pocket Clip Camping Hiking Pocket Knife MGR-8003DGII

The media could not be loaded. Okay I saw this knife online with some favorable reviews from a couple of surprising names in the knife collecting community. So when I saw it here I decided what the heck, for the price how can you lose.So I ordered and I have to tell you, I'm VERY pleasently surprised! This has to be one of the best value-per-dollar folders I've seen recently.Overall appearance is nice - clean lines, great blade-to-handle ratio, a slender and lean look. All edges are nicely taken down, no hot spots. Jimping where you need it, effective but not overstated or over-aggressive. Weight is not heavy but was a tad more than I expected. Balance point is about 1 inch behind the pivot, actually a pretty good balancepoint for the weight.The G10 scales and backspacer are nice, consistent, good color, no waves or flaws. The blade and clip color is not the super-dark nearly black color look like in the listing photos or even on Miguron's website - in real light it's actually a very nice silver-grey PVD which goes GREAT with the grey G10. The PVD coating is nice and even - no heavy or light spots. Looks really good. Blade centering out of the box was spot-on.Action out of the box is impressively smooth. The detent is right where it should be for blade length & mass - a nice break and a very quick and smooth deploy. The fuller works GREAT for spidey-flick. This is a fun little knife.I'm a guy who buys, collects, carries and uses some expensive mid-techs and really expensive custom pieces. So this was kind of a whim, to see if this little knife was as good as I'd heard, for the price. And I have to say, yes it is.Is it as well made as a Marfione? Is it as rock solid as a Koenig Arius? Is the detent tuned crisp like a Todd Begg? Is it as smooth as a Shirogorov? Well NO, of course not - not even in the same league. But something else where it's not even close to a Shiro, is - Dollars.This knife is literally 1/20th the cost of even an entry-level full custom. So of course it's not going to be made to the same standards with the same materials.But - FOR WHAT YOU'RE SPENDING - this little Miguron (really it's not a little knife - it's a full-sized folder) is a ridiculously, unbelieveably great value. Very good and very nice for an extremely budget-friendly price.And THAT is why the 5 Stars. It's not super premium materials, astronomically tight engineering, etc.- it's not a GREAT knife or a Custom - but it certainly is a GOOD knife at a really GREAT price. For this surprising quality at this price point - yeah I'll give it a 5-star review.SO - If you're looking for a surprisingly well made, very smooth, overall good buget knife - I have to recommend this - yeah, you can't lose.

This is by far, one of the best cheaper blades I've collected. Miguron makes some great budget deals and it's hard to find this much knife for the money. I'm a big fan of larger folders and I would rate this is in my top 3 of my 4" collection. Good quality, beautiful form factor and smooth action all day.14C28N is incredible for it's price. Will it hold an edge forever? Nope, but I dare you to find a steel that gets much sharper than it. It's carbide structures are incredibly small and it rivals 9CR18MoV and 410C in terms of edge retention. It is a dream to sharpen and is quite stainless.

The media could not be loaded. No complaints. Solid out of the box in all respects. Great action, size, shape, ergo's, grippy, fidgety (unusual a blade of this size is so fidgety), functional.

Knife is well built with good flick mechanism but is larger than anticipated. It is also light weight but does feel like plastic which makes it seem cheap. The black on gray of the scales and blade look great. Very sharp right out of the box. Returned due to it being an overall bigger knife than anticipated.

I like big knifes, and this one is spectacular for the price, extremely satisfying to flick open either way, thinking about getting another one different color

Wow, super happy with sharpness. I don’t need razor to shave my beard. I love collecting knifes but this one is my loving sharp knife.

Holy hell I never would have thought a $50 knife could be this good. Great design the liners are beautifully rounded. The blades filler and top spine are rounded as well. The grey dlc coating looks top notch, it's not black. But all in all this is a must have knife for collectors and someone who just wants a great beater knife. Very pleased. Put up pictures of size compared to PM2, bugout, ZT 0562

I use this more and prefer this over my Benchmade Adamas Cruwear. Do what you will with that information. Smooth opening. Perfect ergonomics and blade size, lockup is rock solid and easy, and the fit and finish is better than my Benchmade Adamas in my opinion.
