CRKT Padawan Everyday Carry Folding Knife: Drop Point with 14C28N Steel Blade, Stainless Steel Handle w/Micarta Overlays, Frame Lock, 6070

Best CRKT I own. Really solid - a bit heavy but not bad. Sharp, floppy, well locked but not finger compromising, great looking and nicely slicy.

I can't speak for uber expensive knives, but for the price point here you will be hard pressed to find better. I read someone else say it almost feels wrong getting this thing dirty with everyday wear and tear, I agree. This is a beautiful, we'll crafted piece of equipment that will absolutely meet most peoples need for everyday use. Just for reference, I'm an electrician and I often need to cut ropes, strip wire, open boxes and I can definitely say this knife does everything I need it to do. It looks great and performs perfectly for my needs so I decided to leave my opinion.

I couldnt wait to get this knife when I saw it. I love the blade, I prefer no serrated edges, the curve is nice for slicing, of course it cane with a razor sharp edge. I normally don't like the clips I found that this one fits good to my grip and isn't too bulky. The shape of the handle fits my hand perfectly. The overall size of the knife is good too. It's not as big or heavy as some of my other knifes, but still has a substantial blade. The flipper doesn't stick out too far so it's less bulky, but it takes a little more effort to open compared to some other knives. Once you start the opening motion is opens very smoothly.

Only issue with this knife is the flip tab opening option because it doesn't work. The tension on the blade in closed position is so strong you must pull the blade out from the frame; it will kill your finger trying to open it with the fast finger tab. The rest of this knife is excellent.

This knife is really well made. All surfaces and features are smooth with uniform finish. Great feel, color, overall finish. Very sturdy. The biggest problem is it's too nice, you know? I don't want to use it in case it gets scratched or dirty. More of an example of engineering quality at this point, but I'll get over it eventually. Very satisfied. A little more than I wanted to pay for a pocket knife, but I don't regret it.

The knife finally arrived! It's aesthetically pleasing, very clean lines, well put together. Love the brown micarta scales. The flipper design works well. The framelock works nice, the lockup is solid, no sticking. The blade shape is versatile and useful for many cutting tasks. While not what I consider a hard use type of knife, it works for light to medium cutting tasks. Occasional hard use it would probably handle given it's size, though I have other knives more suited to that type of work. This knife is definitely suited for urban carry or when you want to carry light.

If you're like me, and choke at the prices the knife reviewing sites call "inexpensive", this is for you. I personally would never pay hundreds for an edc knife.This knife feels great, looks great, and will be up to any task you can reasonably ask a knife to do. One reviewer complained about the tip bending when he tried to pry handlebar end caps off with it. Well duh, its a knife not a prybar.It's also beautiful. For 75 bucks you can't beat it.

This seems to be a good edc. Operates smoothly and is good quality. Light weight. Won't take on a bunch of zombies, but a quick deploy knife for common chores, it works well and is all you really need.
