Rite Edge Szco Supplies 5-Inch Spanish Fruit Knife

This fruit knife is impressive right out of the box! It is beautiful,the fit and finish is well done.the knife folda out,but does not lock although it has strong hinge will not close easily thus being relatively safe from closing on your fingers. The blade is stainless steel,which will not rust if you clean and dry immediately after use. It cuts fruit like a dream. I bought two, one for fruit,the other I use as a letter opener. I am completely satisfied t my purchases .

A very nice, sharp and thin knife for precision cuts. The lock SHOULDN'T be a problem unless you don't know how to use slip joint locks.

I like the knife. Mine is well constructed for the price point. Complaint: Mine is quite difficult to open. It is tight in the hinge point, which is good in that it has no locking mechanism. However, the very narrow blade offers very little to pinch with thumb & index finger to open the knife. This is the only knife I’ve ever owned that did not have a thumbnail groove to assist with the opening of the blade. A thumbnail groove would be another step in the manufacturing process, but it would be a welcome addition to this otherwise good and unique knife. With any luck, mine will loosen up over time and be easier to open. I would not find it useful in an emergency.

This unique knife is very well-made for the price. It is perfect for the job for which it was designed. The blade is narrow, pointed, sturdy and sharp. The wood in the handle is fine quality and very well shaped. Not a great pocket knife, in my humble opinion. The blade does not lock, and it is too narrow for most general uses, with an extremely fine point. But overall, a very attractive, useful tool for the kitchen or campsite.

They're pretty neat little knives I got both of them it's not 12 and 1/2 in of course like the ad says but it's still nice

Overall design of the knife is nice. Looks sleek and elegant. The most important factor is it has no safety lock. In normal use you would be fine but if a person tripped or the blade caught on something as the person is walking by it the blade can catastrophically close and possibly cause egregious harm to the fingers. It is a very very sharp blade. Which is a plus but also the reason for this review.

my husband thought this knife was pretty neat it arrived very sharpwell worth the money

i love this knife, it is not too big for pocket, yet it is great in size for 1oo's of uses. Only reason not 5 stars is the fact that the knife doesnt lock open. Yet I love this knife and carry it with me always. great look and feel
