Great everyday pocket knife

ممتاز وحاد

Muy bien excelente calidad y precio

So, the story from Cold Steel is that they wanted to make a better version of the Okapi, which has dropped in quality over time. As of this generation of Okapi knives, I don't know if that's entirely true, but it's also really hard to find a good one that's not at an inflated price. At the price point of this knife, it's just stupid good. I was skeptical of the steel, but I've also become less of a steel snob over time, and it's sufficient for the job. The ring lock works great. I have two copies of this - one I ordered from a different place, one known for being a place where you can buy mall ninja gear, ammo, and outdoor activity supplies all from the same vendor. It came in a simple plastic bag with a hang tag. The second one I got (because I immediately wanted a second to keep in the car) I ordered from here, and it came in a box. Both are authentic, AFAICT (make damned sure you actually order from Amazon or a reputable vendor), the one I ordered from here has a spring that's a touch lighter, but also seems to engage a bit more firmly. Both well within the tolerances I would expect at a knife priced higher than this. While I was very skeptical that Cold Steel would make a "better" version, I have to say that this is a damned good knife, and the only way it wouldn't count as better is if you really want a wooden handle. It's better put together than the Okapi I have. I've been on a bit of a cold steel kick lately - I'm late to the game, I only recently started indulging my inner mall ninja. This knife is definitely not in that category, it's closer to their "historical reproductions" when it comes down to it - and that's something that they are damned good at, based on the foot long dagger I also ordered from them for way too cheap. If you are looking at this and thinking 'but I want a REAL okapi' - honestly, get one of these anyways, no matter if you get a "real" one or not. It's way too good to pass up, and hits above its price point. You will not find a better knife of this size this cheap, and there aren't a lot of contenders for the style of lock it uses. To put it in perspective, I paid 6 times as much for a "palm knife" manufactured in France, with sandvik steel... with a ring lock that hardly engages, a lot of blade play, and just feels cheaper overall, despite being made from bone + steel. And it was the only other comparable thing I have found at a "reasonable" price.

Es ist ein wunderbares Messer
