Excellent
Thing is good. Use it daily and it’s holding up great. I use it like a knife, not a hammer or pry bar. Replacement parts available but I haven’t needed any. Nice patina too.

Compact utility knife
A great compact folding blade. A useful light-weight utility knife i got for work or whatever. No real complaints. My only 'could be better' is that the part of the 'replaceable blade' that is exposed when it is closed is mildly, idk, (sharp, scratchy, an irritation) to an otherwise smooth closed blade design. Usually that edge isn't an issue. Otherwise great! Love it. Feels very good in my medium/large hands. The deep pocket clip is nice but super tight out of the box. I pulled or stretched it out a little in the opposite direction, and now its reasonable. The liner lock is good. Thumb stub flip is good. The little blade remover 'screw/wheel' is ok... I just intend to be careful to never loose it or the knife may be a loss unless you can find a replacement. Small attention to detail object. Good knife for the price overall! Plus, i really like the G10 Jade looking handle. That was my main attraction! Overall i'd say get it!

One huge flaw for EDC, otherwise great
I'm on the fence about this one. The exposed back of the blade is both good and bad.With the blade protruding beyond the knife, you're able to slice through material up to nearly an inch without hitting the knife--HOWEVER, my biggest gripe with this design is the exposed top of the blade (circled).These corners and edges are pretty sharp on utility blades and will easily tear up the inside of your pockets. Also depending on how you reach in your pocket with this knife inside you could cut up the back of your hand. For that reason I won't be carrying this in my pockets which kind of defeats the EDC aspect of it.It's clearly built like a workhorse, so I'm sure I'll find some use for it, but I'll have to reassess where it's going to live.For this reason, it feels like an incomplete package that could have been cheaper.The good: very smooth out of the box, tool-less blade change, lots of useable blade exposed, solidly built and no play in the blade.It's nice to fidget with, snaps open easily, and is incredibly solid for regular use.Meanwhile I also bought an Oknife otacle u1 for much less which completely conceals the blade, is buttery smooth, also tool-less blade change, large exposed blade length, and will live in my pockets nicely.

Best utility knife I’ve used so far.
Works great. Operates smooth after a few months of heavy use, even in my sawdust covered workplace.Right out of the box it is sharp, screws have thread-lock applied, and no “wiggle” in any parts of the mechanism. All of the screws are TORX keyed.The locking screw closest to the end of the blade is a little tricky, I personally snug it down lightly with pliers which works well. It does not have the little lock symbol on the screw head like it is shown in the photos, which I don’t mind at all.Overall I recommend this product, just flashy enough where people want to use it.

Overpriced and impossible to change blade on Titanium
The cheaper handles are fine, but indistinguishable from the cheaper knockoffs on Amazon. Claims to be American made but their social media team struggles with English, so that seems suspect. I had a titanium from the OG kickstarter and have never been able to change the blade. Cut myself multiple times trying to do so over months. NuKnives service was no help (language barrier — their English is awful) so I had to return — basically $100 disposable box cutter. If you can change the blade, it’s “fine.”

The Sex Bolt broke 5 days after the 30 day return window closed
I happily used this EDC daily.It was a nice product until it WAS NOT! The hardware (sex bolt) holding the Blade Arm to the Body snapped just after the 30 day return window closed (5 days to be exact). I am now out $99 and have something useless. I would love to hear from the seller regarding this issue.

Don’t think about buying it! Just buy it!
I personally feel like it’s perfect in every way. I wouldn’t change a thing about it. It’s pretty sturdy and feels great in the hand. I like how it’s not bulky. I haven’t had a problem with the blade being loose, which I thought I would. I carry it everywhere I can.
