EafengrowEF121 EDC Fixed Blade Knife D2 Blade Steel G10 Handle with Kydex Sheaths for Outdoor Activities Camping

The days of overpriced knives are over.Many makers of quality knives for under $100 are changing the knife market. Eafengrow is at the top of this list.The expensive brands like TOPS and others, rely on MADE IN USA as justification for the higher prices.It's not WHERE a knife is made, it's about materials and quality control and oversight.It is a world of global competition.My needs for an EDC are many.And I've gone through many knives.Here we have the EAFENGROW 121The Blade: stone washed D2 came razor sharp.9/10Shape and strength : 9/10Fit and Finish :10/10Grip Handles: 9/ 10 ( personally prefer micarta)Sheath : 8/10 very versatile hold knife SOLIDLY and silent.DetailsI wear a medium glove and all 4 fingers fit perfectly. I got lucky all hands will vary.What I have not seen mentioned about the grip panels , are the ergonomics.Each side as an oval indentation.When gripped, tbe tips of my ring and middle fingers fall perfectly into, adding much more purchase.My Index finger perfectly into the choil.Speaking of which, the attention to little things like tbe edge and finish of tbe choil is fantastic.Smoothed, rounded no sharp or uncomfortable edges. Impressive.My thumb naturally falls onto the jimpingA word on that.This knife, hands down, has the absolute best jimping of any knife I have ever held.Any knife. Period.I carry the 121 horizontal on my left side in the front for concealable quick access.It is comfortable wearing , sitting g etc.The end of the handle dies .are a slight bump under a shirt but most knives will.On stro g side standard up and down carry, it is snug up against my side and disappears.On deployment, a firm grip , push of the thumb on tbe sheath and pull , tbe knife draws smoothly and the sheath stays FIRMLY in place. Tight.The sheath for all of its come ity and versatility DOES the 2 main things a sheath SHOULD do: Hold tbe knife quietly reliably and safe in place, and STAY IN PLACE WHEN TBE KNIFE IS PULLED.It's your money.If you desire to spend more than is required, that is, of course, your choice.But Boker, Puma, Tops , Busse, etc etc are NOT any better than this knife. In fact, MY Tops equivalent is NOT AS GOOD.At $26, if I lose it or must discard it I'm not out much.Thus knife is incredibly capable. Camping, fishing, baton work, fire starting g , fishing self defense ..it is stout , heavier than most at around 8 ounces , tough as can be and will serve you well no matter what you demand of it.And that is what an everyday knife should beI urge you to check out all the reviews ND tests of this knife and other EAFENGROW knives.I plan on buying others.

Ove bought 3 of this brand of knife. All have been great. D2 steel, well made. Very comfortable in the hand. Worth every penny paid.

Very impressed with the build quality of this blade. Stamped D2 steel w non reflective corrosive resistant coating. Slightly under 4mm thickness. Torx T8 fasteners. Nice feel in the hand for a concealed blade. May be too small for large hands but length for concealed weapon is good. Kydex sheath could be made a little better as per previous reviews. Not sure what others were speaking of regarding blade deployment with one hand but I was easily able to thumb release easily from belt mount without a problem. Also fits well w a secure firm mount inside sheath. Sheath has a nice button release for belt mount and a lock so that no accidental release con occur. Blade comes sharpened and all I had to add was a little whetstone touch up. Decent blade for the price. Not my first choice for tactical fixed blade like a Zero Tolerance quality blade, however for daily use should be fine.

Substantial knife, strong blade, convenient size, comfortable sheath.

For the money I feel this is a great knife. I wanted to try stepping into the world of EDCing a fixed blade. I've carried folders for close to 40 years. I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I decided that I didn't care for carrying a fixed blade. This knife is big enough that you can get a full grip on the handle yet small enough not to be super intimidating to most people that see it. It came in sharp enough to use out of the box and I'm sure with just a little work it could be even sharper. I did enjoy the versatility of the clip that came with it. It does allow you to carry either vertically or horizontally. The sheath offers enough retention that I am not concerned about it falling out yet not so much that drawing it is difficult. My only complaint is the belt clip. Although I like the design I did have a lot of problems keeping it locked closed. I liked the design enough that I spend a few extra dollars on buying the original clip that this is a knock of off. With the addition of the new, name brand clip, I'm sure I will get many years of use out of this.

This knife is ideal for every day carry. Fits my large hands perfect. Jimping is just right. Sheath is functional knock off of a much more expensive knife. Wouldn't expect it to last long. It does clip perfectly to my Hanks belt which is double thick. If you replace the fake teklok with a better one this will make it much better out of the box. For this price I'm happy it comes with one at all. This knife is similar in shape to my izula but much heavier and bigger. The izula weights 5.1 oz with sheath and this budget beast weights 7.8 with sheath. 100 percent would buy again. I like the saber grind and overall heft of this knife. Pretty much checks all my boxes for a work knife. (Edit) After using for a couple weeks, it is definitely worth the price. The edge holds up better than my 1095 knives. It's a good tool. I really like the hide and drink leather 3 inch sheath. It is loose and needs to be wet formed for a tighter fit. All in all it's a solid knife that came sharp and holds an edge well. It is not completely rust resistant so keep that in mind and just oil it. Highly recommend.

Got to wonder who write reviews these days. Even the one star ones don't mention how short the handle is. Only buy if you buy for a kid or you have VERY small hands. Otherwise, the blade comes sharp, the quality is very good for the price and these guys make terrific sheaths.

This is a great little fixed blade. Edge retention is terrific and the temper is definitely done right. I chopped 1-2" sticks with this for a couple hours, whittled wood with it, batoned with it (added a paracord lanyard so I could choke up my grip a bit), stabbed it into a stump and twisted to test the tip retention, and it did not bend at all. When done testing, the knife was still sharp enough to shave my arm. I have $100 knives that can't do that. Thoroughly impressed.
