SRMPocket Folding Knife, Axis Lock, G10 Handle, D2 Blade, Pocket Clip for EDC, Survival, Outdoor Uses, 9201-GB.……

This knife is so, so good for the price. It's slim, lightweight, has a strong lock, and a useful blade shape.The plastic scales sound a little cheap when you tap them but I can't complain too much because they offer GREAT grip and don't chew up your pockets. The deep carry pocke clip makes it easy to carry this relatively large knife. Mine came razor sharp with an honest-to-goodness near mirror polished edge. The opening hole is well shaped and makes it easy to open a number of different ways.The only real downside is that it came loaded with gooey blue grease. It was easy enough to take the knife apart and wipe down the parts a bit but I would rather not have to do that. On the plus side, the opening action smoothed out a lot once I cleaned the blue goo out.It is shocking how good this knife is for the price.

Following the advice of many EDC/knife YouTubers, I purchased this knife with high expectations of a low-budget product that punched way above its weight for the price. Now that I've had this knife for a couple months, I can confidently say that it IS a good product that offers a lot of value + a great blade for the price, but there are some negatives that I would confidently attribute to the price point which would cause me to hesitate before buying this again.My main frustration with the knife has to do with its construction. The thin metal liners and FRN scales provide very little resistance to flexing, which requires the screws to play a larger role in providing rigidity than most other knives I've used. To avoid blade play in the pivot, you've gotta fully torque all the screws, which in turn restricts the blade's ability to move freely on its washers, requiring a more deliberate effort to open it than is ideal for a folding knife with a crossbar lock.The positives of this style of structure is that it's extremely lightweight, and absurdly thin in the pocket for a 3.5ish inch knife. A few other notable positives the quality of the blade itself, which came with a literal mirror polished edge that has retained its sharpness quite well, and a well done pocket clip.At $20-$23, this is a good value, but there are lots of other newer knives near that price point that may offer a more solid setup with a similar blade material. Perhaps the blade will be smaller, or they'd rely on a simple liner lock instead of the more complex crossbar setup, but that could be a worthwhile trade for more rigidity in the hand. However, if you're looking for a light-use EDC with a longer blade, or perhaps a large but light knife for backpacking, I would very strongly consider the SRM 9201.

Knife came with a beautiful mirror polished razor sharp edge. This might be best out the box edge I've ever received. This knife comes with a d2 clip point blade and thumb holes to deploy. But I have found that it's a little bit hard to get my thumb to deploy I have large sized hands. Some stiffness to deploy but it's not nearly as bad as say a 704 gear knife I have had. I've also had some Benchmade that were more stiff. It'll take tuning like all knives to get to your liking. I have large hands and the g10 is two texture tones (which costs extra for them to machine) g10 backspace with lanyard hole. Excellent deep carry pocket clip with good retention not too tight like cold steels clips. I think it's an amazing knife considering the cryogenic treatment on the d2. I couldn't be more satisfied with the $30 bill I spent for it SRM Stay Ready For More

I have been looking for a good knife after I moved and lost the random one a friend bought me years ago. I bought one without reading reviews and it was pretty disappointing, I then found one that MIGHT have been the same model as my old one, but decided to look at some reviews first. One consistent recommendation was for SRMs knives, which are apparently among the best axis locking knives, and made of a good quality steel, IDK anything about any of that.What I know is that the blade opens smoothly (with one hand or two), it cuts very well, the lock is secure, and it is easy to close without any fear of getting near the blade in a dangerous way. It also looks pretty nice, which is not important but is cool.I just bought a second one in different color scheme (black with metal colored blade vs black with black blade) so that I have one for in the house and one for my car.Experts seem to think this is pretty good, I am not an expert, but it seems good to me too.

I have a couple of SRM (Sanrenmu) knives now that I use as daily beaters or for times when I don't want to risk losing or damaging something expensive. They have all been great values for the money and this one especially. The action is a little sluggish at first because it uses bronze washers instead of bearings, and the black blade coating needs to wear off the friction points, and they have some thick goop in there for lubrication, but after you clean it up and use some higher quality modern knife lube on the washers it starts to loosen up and is greatly improving as it breaks in. The handle is light and comfortable, the blade grind symmetrical and fairly thin stock and the factory edge was actually pretty solid. When I did decide to sharpen it on my Hapstone R2 it sharpened as you'd expect properly heat treated D2 to sharpen. It took a very fine edge at 17° per side and responds well to stropping with 1 micron diamond paste for quick touch ups. Very fidget friendly. The clip is deep carry, firm and springy. This is a great work knife and daily beater that can't be beat for under $30 bucks. Highly recommended.As a side note, watch a couple YouTube videos on taking apart a crossbar lock knife before you attempt it. It's not difficult but there are more parts (and springs inside) than a standard liner lock or frame lock.
