"I like having mine around and readily available for opening packages, cutting strings off clothing, or gettings those little plastic tags off of merchandise."
"My only complaint is to fold it back you can only grip it from the sides which is awkward to me."
"Awesome emergency knife with limitations of course."
"With the index and middle knuckles wrapped around each side of the head. For $5 SOG mades an alarmingly dangerous and easily-concealed self-defense weapon, especially if used by the right hands."
"Incredible quality, looks awesome, and an extremely high quality blade."
"Great little addition to my clip-on keychain."
"Love this little knife I’ve had it on my keys for about a year now and it’s still very sharp and in good condition."

I also packed my cold steel srk san mai iii for heavier work yet hardly unsheathed it. The mora bushcraft black and mora companion filled my belly with fish and my fire with feathersticks and fine kindling to start the fire for cooking!"
"At this price I ordered a second for myself, so now my wife has a black companion with a purple kydex sheath and I have a black with carbon fiber sheath. I have Bark Rivers, Spydercos, Kershaws, Smith and Sons and others but for bike touring and backpacking, where weight matters I grab the Mora Companion."
"This is one of the best knife at this price range. It is a versatile fixed blade outdoor knife of hardened Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel. Here are some specs of this knife. - Blade length: 4.1 inches (104 mm). - Blade thickness: 0.1 inch (2.5 mm). - Overall length: 8.6 inches (218 mm). - Weight w/ sheath: 4.1 oz. 2."
"Works great for woodcraft, food prep, or general cutting tasks. Don't take it to the woods expecting to beat it to death, use an axe instead. The carbon rusts pretty easily left out in the wild for long."
"What is the best paring knife? A quality fixed blade."

"Since the one I got had the carbon steel blade, I put a forced patina on it by letting it sit in hot (almost boiling) apple vinegar. I wrapped the sheath in paracord and waxed the blade. The same model, but this time I got it with a blaze orange handle and sheath and a stainless steel blade (obviously no need for a forced patina with stainless steel)."
"The blade thickness makes it rugged and stiff enough to get through many things I slice open; heavy duty cardboard boxes, heavy fabric, and ropes. I put them in my tool kits, shop, fishing boxes, and bug out bags."
"The hard plastic sheath isn't much to look at, but it holds the knife securely, even with my preferred upside-down neck lanyard carry. (I drilled a small hole in the tip of the sheath and ran para through it). I wouldn't regularly baton with this knife, as the blade is a bit thinner. For skinning, carving, processing kindling, all my cordage work, it's an absolute joy to carry and use. While the blade is carbon steel, holding and taking that excellent edge, it WILL NOT strike a spark off ferro."
"I wasn't expecting much from this knife, in fact I thought it would be very thin metal, but was surprised at how good of quality the blade is."
"The only downside that some may consider its a carbon steel knife it stains and will rust if you do not maintain the blade with oil or clean it well every time you use it on acidic things like cutting a orange or lemon. Can not say enough about this knife."

I've recently changed my pattern of EDC, and wanted to put the pocket clip back on this knife. I emailed KAI to order the part, explaining that it wasn't broken or damaged or defective - I just misplaced it. I got a FAST response by email, telling me they were glad to send me a replacement clip free of charge."
"I've owned many knives and have come to realize I'm becoming less of a fan of serration for an EDC knife but that's a personal preference. I still carry this knife today and I love the fact that when I need a good blade I have this on my person."
"I decided to purchase this knife from Kershaw as a beginner, then I will move on to other brands and types."
"Absolutely worth the money, very durable, stays sharp for months with regular use, scratch resistant, and just small enough that it's legal to carry in my area!"
"My girlfriend's father wanted a "really good" pocket knife for Christmas. So I took the same qualities in that knife and narrowed it down to an all black, spring assisted, half serrated, pocket knife that was in my price range."
"Since the blade on this knife is just a smidge over three inches, depending on where you live, you might need to check your local ordinances on legal carry."
"Many people have asked me what kind of knife to get and Im a knife collector and I always tell them to get this knife first."
"Sharp, strong and light pretty much says it all."

I see comments like, “Not the Best Collector's Knife,” “Handle is too Short,” “Cut my Leg.” I must encourage the cynics to realize a few things: 1.). The Bottom Line: If one is using this blade for its intended purpose, namely, self defense, I believe it meets all standards and could very well be a life saver."
"A local police officer showed me a trick for belt wearers to make these legal to carry and extremely fast to deploy. Normally with the way the belt clip is, that clipped to a belt it will ride high on waist and also make it illegal to carry and frankly hard to deploy."
"Now here's the best part after having thrown it into trees plywood and basically giving it a full stress test the point was still sharp as it was out of the box."
"Not super big but a great size."
"bought 2 of these , one for me and one for my special girl, i love it, very well made, nice sheath, easy acees if needed in bad situations."
"I think it's a perfect size if your going to be carrying it around on you."
"I have used this gear for several drills."
"It is a bit less quality than an old Gerber I have of this exact style, but good for the price."

Carbide pull through sharpeners get a bad name from ham fisted neanderthals that push down and pull the knife through like they are pull starting a lawn mower. You can literally rest the knife on the carbide and pull, that is all the pressure that is needed for the carbide to sharpen your knife."
"Often knives are sharpened on one side and yet most sharpeners have Vs slots meant to sharpen both edges. But often the very hard (R 60-70) are very tough to create a great edge just by using a portable sharpening tool."
"This tool will stretch the usefulness of my blades before needing to set a new edge with my electric sharpener."
"Anchor the knife in a vise or something and draw this Lansky over the blade using both hands, pinching on either side of the "V"."
"Greatest thing since sliced cheese."
"The carbide sharpeners work well and it is great to have the ability to use the correct blade angle for the knife."
"After sharpening, I tested the knife by cutting through a Bounty paper towel."
"This is very well made and an all metal design."
