Kussi In-Drawer Knife Storage Medium (9 slot) (HX-A003-A)
Fits perfectly in the drawer beside my cutlery tray. It holds more knives than indicated because I stack some above the lower slots. I'm very pleased with this knife holder.

Zyliss Lock & Lift Can Opener (Z20362)
It's ok. Purchased for my Mother who has arthritis in her hands. The grip is easy, however; she struggled with the both the release button and getting the 'teeth' to release. Still a good can opener though and I donated to our office lunchroom.

CRKT Parascale (6235)
Was exceedingly excited for this knife, and initially I was quite happy. The blade came perfectly centred and reasonably smooth.
However each and every screw started to loosen immediately as I started to use it, itseems like they used no locktite at all.

I've tried to tune in a few times, and taken it apart fully twice, and put it back together, but it will not go back to being centered and smooth.
I can tune the knife to be either one or the other, never both at once.

SENCUT Watauga G10 Natural (S21011-3)
This knife is good if not better than the civivi button locks I have (conspirator and elementum)
I've tested the lock with spine Whacks, and the lock is completely sturdy.
Blade shape is excellent for utility work, and with an actually usable finger choil. It's a pleasure to use with a very comfortable handle.
The only complaint I would have at all is about the steel used, but for the price I can't really be upset at all.

As more and more brands embrace the button lock I feel like they can only get better and better! Thank you for sharing these details though, they are very helpful!

CIVIVI Button Lock Elementum Marble Carbon Fiber Damascus Clad (C2103DS-3)
As sharp as it is elegant...The ceramic bearing and push button lock are just so sweet and complementary to this great knife...let's not forget the sweet Damascus blade. If your looking for affordable luxury look no further. Perfect for a non invasive pocket knife with no compromise in comfort.

Benchmade Osborne - Green (940)
The classic Icon knife
So much has been written about this knife. It is indeed the classic icon & worthy of all the hype praise surrounding it. In hand it feels great: a good size for small to medium mens size with the smooth feel of the aluminum scales-my only gripe being they can be prone to scratches /scuffs but nonetheless prefer the solid texture without protruding inner screw that are on the other 940 models-which is hard to believe considering the price point of the 940 series. The action & fit & finish are excellent except for the aluminum finish which is still very aesthetically pleasing & functional.
It’s overall more of a cutter than slicer as many have said but still a great unique blade especially for its overall size/form factor-carrying so easily in the pocket. I have one other benchmade-the mini presidio 2 which I think is a great complement to the 940. However there’s no denying that this is ‘the’ classic that’s been around for over 20 years for good reason.

Kizer Assassin XL Green Micarta (V4549C1)
Like the blade and micarta handle. The action is inconsistent. I think I’m going to have to take it apart and give it a good lube. Was torn between this and the Civivi conspirator, but from what I’ve seen on YouTube, you can improve the action and I like the thicker handle versus the conspirator.

It can definitely happen where a knife needs that personal touch and tweak to get it perfect, and it sounds like you know exactly what to do, thank you for sharing your experience!

Great knife and great service from House of Knives. I've had some cheap EDC knives before and there is no comparison. This one is great, really hits the sweet spot in size and comfort. Not a single complaint out of this guy!

The LCK+ is one of those great subtle knives, looks like a great gentleman's knife but has one heck of a punch with that assist!

Grohmann #2 Trout & Bird Water Buffalo Horn Stainless with Sheath (W2S)
The blade shape and ergonomics on this knife are fantastic. However the one I received had some major scratches, imperfections on the handle and glue all over the blade. It almost looks like a factory second. I would have sent it back but it was the last one in stock. A little disappointing but not the end of the world as this knife is going to see some hard use. It was likely a one off and if I were to lose this knife I would probably order another one.

SOG Instinct Mini (NB1002-CP)
Not impressed. My first and last sog. It’s a good size as a neck knife but it’s about as sharp as a handle on a butter knife this thing won’t even cut me when I drag it across my hand. SOG you should be embarrassed I’ll probably give this to someone’s kid because it’s as safe if not safer than a plastic practice blade

Kershaw Heist (KE-2037)
I really like this knife but I think it would be better with different handle material it’s kinda light but it’s the perfect size and sharp as hell. The action is incredible open and closing one handed.

GFN definitely comes across very light, but its much stronger then most assume. The Duralock looks sick!

CIVIVI Brazen Dark Green Micarta Tanto (C2023F)
I love this knife. I thought I liked my button lock Civivi elementum but that just got replaced. There is nothing I can say negative about this knife. Civivi knocked it out of the park with the brazen tanto.

CRKT Provoke Zap (4041G)
Kinda cool but not much good as an edc but it’s a great fidget toy. I’ll probably get the new one it’s a lot more practical. But this is still a really cool knife and it’s built really good and strong CRKT is a good brand.

If it cant be an EDC perfectly it will certainly exceed as a fidget!
