Kershaw Appa Folding Tactical Pocket Knife, SpeedSafe Opening, 2.75 inch Black Blade and Handle & Filter Pocket Knife, 3.25” Steel Blade with Assisted Opening

If you are the type of guy (or gal) who likes a decent little lightweight pocket knife this should not disappoint. I have a 50th Anniversary Buck pocket knife that was given to me as a gift but I hate the size and weight of it so it sits at home. I mean, the term "pocket knife" is something you should be able to comfortably carry in your pocket and not have to keep it in a pouch on your belt, if you ask me.I was buying those cheap $7 Frost pocket knives for a few years and they do not hold an edge and the blade starts getting loose and wiggling around so I wanted something a bit better but small and light like those. This is smaller and a tad heavier but it feels like it's built more solid and has a nice feel. If you are a knife snob then you might want to move on but for the common man/woman that just wants a small light knife give it a try. There is also a blade assist lever if you like that. The state I live in it's perfectly legal so I carry it in my pocket every day now and no problems with it. Great little knife.

I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a small, portable, and effective tool for everyday carry (EDC).Pros:Perfect Size: The knife is compact and fits comfortably in my hand, making it ideal for those with smaller hands. It's small enough to carry around without being bulky. You can open and close with one hand.Incredibly Sharp: The blade is extremely sharp right out of the box, if you get the bundle with the knife sharpener it sharpens very well.Lightweight & Easy to Control: The knife is very lightweight, which makes it easy to handle and you don’t notice it in your pocket.Convenient Clip: The pocket clip is a great feature. It stays low-profile, so it doesn't stick out far enough to be noticeable, even when sitting down.Great Value: If you purchase the bundle with the knife sharpener for around $20-$25, it’s an excellent deal.Cons:Not for Larger Hands: If you have larger hands or need a bigger knife for heavy-duty tasks, this may not be the right choice for you.Overall, having used many knives in this price range, this one stands out for its balance of sharpness, portability, and value. It's a solid choice for EDC and well worth the price.

This is a basic knife, know that from the start. The one-handed action works fine, and it seems to get a bit easier the longer you use it. I'm not one of those knife people that can ramble on about steel and hardness, but for a general box opener, string cutter, letter opener and the like, it works like a champ. It keeps the edge from what I have seen, and is sturdy, especially considering the great price. Are there better knives out there? You bet. But a nice 'starter' knife, especially with the one-handed trick, makes for a great buy. I have three.

This a a solid quality knife, the action is very smooth. Very functional knife and well designed.This knife is a good shirt pocket or “executive” type knife, it has a bit smaller of a footprint and is slightly small in my hand but has a nice edge on it and I know it will perform well for what u need it for.

I used it as a warehouse piece/EDC knife without any sort of break in there. Cut cardboard and tape apart, then go home and cut some zip-ties and my daily mail. It's a very small, light knife with a good action - very snappy, but not overly sensitive to the point of a safety issue. I only almost caught myself once closing it, but it was definitely my inattentiveness. Fits in the pocket great and the clip doesn't snag my clothing often enough to even remember happening. It's not the prettiest thing, but it's meant to be used. Felt nice in my hands, no control issues, and the grip is fine considering I have smaller hands.Mine started coming loose and the blade tip bent, but I was definitely doing some stuff I shouldn't have, so I won't fault the knife for that.

I don't know why I thought it was going to be a similar knife to the Kershaw Analyst that I have , the only difference being the tip . Now I REALLY like my Analyst and I wanted one about its size with a drop point and serated . When I opened the box a thinner , smaller , lighter knife fell out and man was I stoked . The blade popped around just as snappy and easy and I immediately went to work cutting up the Amazon box to test its sharpness . It wasn't as stupid sharp from the box as the former but very sharp . Instead of just the weight of the knife cutting through I had to put a very slight pressure . No biggie as the steel takes a very nice edge easily . My Analyst is so sharp it practically cuts my thoughts in half . I'm confident this one will accept the same sharpness and because of its extra lightness and shorter overall length may always need a slight amount of effort .The balance is on pay with its bigger brother and it's a good looking knife . Grip is a little less but that's because I have big hands and it's a very small knife . I'm confident it won't be a problem of safety just comfort while cutting .I like the ability to switch the pocket clip over as well , though it isn't a 4 way like the bigger one . From The box it's exactly what I wanted so no need to change anything .If you want a high quality knife that's light enough where you won't notice in pocket , even with sweats or lounge pants on , this knife will blow you away with what you get for its low low price .

I'm a man. I see knife, I buy. I like to get random small knives when they're on sale. They sit on my shelf and I usually do nothing with them except open packages or other random small uses. So by no means am I an expert. All I can say is that this is the best knife I've ever bought. Super sharp, extremely durable, it has remained sharp through a year of daily use. And it looks super cool. Highly recommended

Great everyday carry. I've lost 3 of these in oast 2 years and although heartbreaking to loose, it's a tool and I expect to lose or break it. Just bought my 4th and plan to continue buying as long as price remains reasonable.
