SitivienST147 Folding Pocket Knife,Black Stonewashed 14C28N Steel Blade with Micarta Handle Utility Knife EDC Tool Knife for Outdoor Camping,Hiking,Hunting(Green)

This was my first Sitivien. I will buy more if the quality "keeps on keeping on" like this knife has. It was small and awkward at first. It really has grown on me.The detent when closed both helps the opening action really fire open fast and gives a good trust that pocket A.D.'s are not a concern.OSHA, stop reading here.It is really sharp out of the box. The tip is so sharp that I almost cut myself on the reverse non-sharpen side when opening it once and the tip went against my palm, near the bottom where it deploys. Just a scrape though.Brown Micarda, again, grows on you. Kinda ugly but when you carry and use it, it's nice. ..like flannel.The knife's overall look and feel is something I'd describe as [Comfortable and there when you want it], like a warm fire and/or a Founders CBS.

The uniqueness of this blade shape is what drew me to this knife at first. The Sitivien brand made it a no brainer. I was pleased with the fast and smooth opening mechanism and the sharpness of the blade. It's perfectly balanced and fits great in standard or reverse grip. Good steel and in my opinion looks the best in classic black but is available in jade, green and micarta. Great price.

As I mentioned in the title there are some things which could use improvement(more so for tbe micarta version than the G10) versionbut every $25 knife on the planet is also gonna have things which could be improved. It’s a budget knife so u can’t expect it to be top tier in every category. However for what they’re charging it’s a good buy. First, I LOVE THE BLADE SHAPE! Not only does it have an aesthetic appeal but it’s also highly practical for day to day cutting tasks. When doing a pulling cut or a pushing cut the shape of the blade keeps whatever you’re trying to cut right on the curve of the blade. Whatever material you’re cutting stays right on the sweet spot of the blade & gives u the best possible leverage & control. The quality of steel for the blade you typically will not find on a knife for this price. 14c28n would typically be AT LEAST a $40 knife or more. The knife uses washers as opposed to bearings which means u don’t have to worry about the hearings getting messed up when using the knife around dust, dirt or sand. The action is also nice & snappy.Now for the areas which could use improvement. Once again it’s a budget knife & the positives make this knife well worth the price. Number one is the blade has a recurve which means sharpening it will not be quite as simple as it would be with most other pocket knives. Due to the inward curve of the blade u won’t be able to sharpen that area with a typical stone or paddle strop. On both sides of the curve the blade extends out further which means the inward curve will not make contact with a regular sharpening stone or paddle strop. Next, the micarta on the green/black knife seems to be on the super low end for quality or it’s not micarta at all. It feels & looks like wood with a layer of paint on top to make it look like micarta. I don’t know for sure & could be wrong. Sorry but I don’t feel like taking a chip out of it to know for sure. Even if it is real micarta it’s the cheapest micarta I’ve ever felt. Id recommend going with the G10 version in the jade color. Second issue with the micarta version is the pocket clip has a bit of side to side flex & due to the handle material u can audibly hear it when the clip moves which is every time u flip open the knife. As a right handed person there ends up being some pressure on the clip which causes it to move & make a creaking noise each time it happens.Despite the few cons this is a great buy, in my opinion it’s the budget friendly version of the Vosteed Nightshade & happens to be right at the 3” mark which keeps it legal in states with a 3” limit(unlike the Nightshade).

Fit and Finnish poor. I like knife little sanding and oil and it looks good feels good.. I do love the blade.

Nice little knife. 3 1/2 finger grip -- almost 4 but not quite. Still feels good in the hand. Nice strong detent so it flips nice and strong. Thumb hole is kind of small so flicking the blade open is next to impossible for me. Very sharp blade right out of the box. Pocket clip is tip up right hand only. Overall a very nice knife.b

Love this little knife. I cut a lot of cardboard at work and have yet to have to sharpen it since I got it a month ago

Handle and blade action is amazing

The biggest con of this knife is the grip. The micarta is very slick with basically no grip, a weird glossy finish, and an almost alligator pattern. This is not the same Micarta as my Sitivien ST124. The grip is also very wide side to side, but thin top to bottom, which feels weird in my hands and because of the odd ergos my index finger gets gouged by the lock bar while open. The blade even though smaller than I expected is finished nicely, very sharp, 14C28N is very good steel, opens smoothly, and I like the shape. Overall its a fast opening tiny knife that might work for some but a huge ergonomic disappointment for me.
