HUAAO Pocket Knife, EDC Mini Folding Pocket Knives, Plain Edge, Thumb Stud Manual Open, Nylon Grivory Handle with Belt Clip (black blade)

Liked the smooth action and clean fit and finish.

My brother was showing me his bugout and bugout mini and I thought I might like a really light, linerless knife to throw in the pocket but I'm not really interested at the original's price point for the kind of use I have planned for this knife.I've had mine a few months, broken it in, and used high quality lubricant on it and still to get a good clean action out of it the pivot needs to be loose enough to allow a bit of blade play. My Huaao definitely has to have more play than my brothers genuine mini with the same kind of smooth action.Also I happened to have this in my pocket when I decided to break down a few cardboard boxes one day. I only cut a little bit of cardboard and this thing got dull in a real hurry. I am not a steel snob at all but this steel seems particularly unimpressive even compared to some other 440c blades I have and never noticed them losing their edge so quickly. Probably not the knife to do a lot of heavy cutting tasks anyway, but something to keep in mind.Overall I like this knife alright for what it is and how I can treat it. I carry it when I go running and even with an activity like that it disappears in the pocket. At the price I also don't worry when I forget it in a pocket and lose it for a while. I really like the form factor and ability to have it at this price point. But overall, the quality isn't really impressive. I've bought a lot of Chinese crossbar lock knives in this price class and even here it doesn't stand above other knives. I might get another bugout (mini) knockoff in the future but I'll probably try a different version to see if they get the steel or pivot any better.

if weight is a factor these are perfect. Their plastic handle construction limits their strength and durability. This is not a survival knife, but it may be the one you carry because it's lightweight, and the best knife you have is the one you're carrying...

I think the knife is very nice,but no quality control on the knife makers side.the blade is misshapen on the tip of the blade.

Not worth the money. There's much better for the price. The blade has play to the left and right. The handles have no metal support and are made of cheap plastic material. Definitely no going to trust it.

Love the size and weight, feels great in the hand. Blade is reasonably sharp. Unfortunately on opening and closing it has a very gritty feel to it making it feel rather cheap.

To be honest, just needed a color matching knife for my new watch. It is surprisingly nice. Feels good, blade locks well. Has good textured grip and the blade does what I need like open boxes and light duty ropes.

The media could not be loaded. Bought as a “disposable” knife for carrying in places where it could end up seized by security. It’s a functional copy of a Bugout, and has held up pretty well after about a year of sporadic use.
