Folding Chef Knife 4.8" Sharp 440A Stainless Steel Blade G10 Handle Pocket Foldable Kitchen Knife Utility Knife for Outdoor Camping Cooking

I have read different comments with the regard to quality if this product. I wanted to share my initial evaluation with regard to the build quality of this folding chef's knife.I am retired but work in a commercial kitchen. I have own several chef knives and a few folding knives. This gives me a casual but hands-on level of experience. I use experience here, rather than "expertise".The quality control is quite decent. No obvious flaws were found, upon indpection.Spyderco makes their folding chef's knife, the Spyderco Spydiechef, which is a real nice knife. It has LC200N ultra rust resistant steel and titanium handles. You can buy it here on Amazon for $282.80. It has a 3.32" blade.Pointing out, that this might not be a Spydiechef, but it costs a lot less money, at $23.88.The handle is quality G10, with steel liners. It is an open back design with barrel spacers, which is my preferred type of construction for this purpose of a knife.It is not a super heavy duty knife. I have Cold Steel knives for that. It is perfect for a large kitchen oriented folding knife. You would use it in a manner that the photos suggest.It has a thin flat ground blade that is perfect for cutting vegetables or for trimming meats. Better suited for slicing not chopping food preparation.440A steel has a high stainless quality. All you have to do is to rinse it after using and keep it clean. I never have rust issues with any of my knives. 440A steel is easy to sharpen and keep a sharp edge. The edge is very sharp out of the box. I don't think it will be hard to maintain the sharp edge with a $40 diamond stone that I use.I have several folding pocket knives. All are acceptable for cutting up an apple. But none of them are actually well suited for actual food preparation like this knife is.Will update this review with use...

I got this knife to be a convenient cooking camp knife that I don’t have to worry about a sheath falling off in the camp box. It works fantastic and sharpens easy.

Sharp out of the box, easy to operate

It would help if it came with a tightening tool the cutting end gets a little loose after so many uses..Finding the right size star tip but is a whole nother activity..Four stars for times sake ..

I bought this knife about a year ago as for my thoughts I thought it was well designed it is sharp and fits my hand comfortably I use it quite a bit I found no problems with it and it comes in handy when you go to a steak house that gives you a dull knife or a bread knife to cut your steak lol I have actually used it in restaurants to cut my food over all a really good buy and I will buy again

A mini chef’s knife for camping/backpacking. Great quality blade, handle and the folding mechanism. A+Update after several camping trips: yup, you can do food prep with it. It's not for splitting logs or cubing butternut squash but make a salad and slice some ham - no problem. Love it.

Cuts well haven't had to sharpen since I purchased

Very sharp, handle with care, and highly recommended item in the kitchen or when travelling.
