    Knife is not the quality I had hoped for when I purchased it. Would not buy again.

    I’m not impressed with the quality of this folding knife. I have 4 other fixed blade Flexcut knives and am very satisfied with them. When I saw the folder by Flexcut, I had to have it. It appears that the blades in the folder are of the same quality as the fix blade knives but the quality of the handle leaves me cold. The blades are hard to open. I knew that they didn’t lock in the open position which doesn’t bother me, but they do not snap back into the handle. You have to physically push them back into the handle because they rub up against the slot that they are in. I wondered if this was a “second” or a returned defective knife that I received. I am not going to return it, but keep it in my bag with a couple of pieces of wood to play with when the weather warms up so I can whittle outdoors. While this folder is better than others I seen, it is not as well made as I anticipated considering the MSRP.

  • Great little carving knife.

    All i have to say is another great carving tool from Flexcut. I have many Flexcut knives and a bunch of other brands but Flexcut is and will always be my go to knife. If your trying one out for the first time you will be amazed how sharp they come. They also sell the leather strop with compound included. If your reading this before buying one my advice is don't think twice!! They are well worth every cent!!!! David Hayford

  • A workmans favorite tool, a carvers favorite knive

    First of all, if you people to respond, lighten-up, stop with all the do's and don'ts. Make it quick and drity. This knive is excatly what I wanted for my carving. Yes, it is very stiff to open. I spent a fair bit of time preparing my knive.....penetrating oil, open and shut many times to loosen up. Rounded off the back of the blades, oiled the seath. I spent half a day working my knive on all my cuts.........preformed great......looking forward to many years of pleasure. Highly recommended. Terry Adair

  • 1st Rate...On the Go Carving Knife

    Typical Flexcut quality! Super sharp out of pack! As a wood carver/whittler , needed rough out/ detail knives for those overnight visits to relatives w/o having to tote bag of carving tools(and worrying about them)...this is perfect. Keep in my pocket, no worries about lil ones getting hold of it.

  • Main blade weak main spring

    This is not a good knife even though it is sharp out of the box. I think it may be a design problem, but when in use the the main blade kicks back about 1/8". Bought another from different dealer and same problem. If you need one from flex cut maybe their locking model would work. PS. Whittling 1×1×2 basswood

  • High quality beauty. Just what you need for whittlin'.

    High quality blades fold up and out of the way when not in use. Blades were nice and sharp and ready to go. The black walnut handle is absolutely beautiful.

  • Blades are impossibly tight.

    I bought two of these knives. Both have been extremely difficult to use due to blade tightness for both blades on both knifes. I have had to resort to using pliers and tried to use silicone. The pliers are dangerous for opening knife blades, and the silicone has proven worthless. So, my extremely difficult knives to open are sitting in a drawer. I have used a variety of pocket and carving knives for over 40 years. I am trying to call Flexcut, but have not gotten through on their 800- number. I really want to use these knives and know other carvers that are happy with their Flexcut knives

  • Nice knife

    This is a nice knife. The only minor glitch is the small nail nick. After a few drops of oil at the blade pivot it is much easier to open using your nail
