CRKT Journeyer Folding Pocket Knife, Plain Edge 6530

Sharp. Easy to open. Legal in NewYork city.And pleasing to look at. Artful.Then I lost it.

The knife itself is fine, but the blade tool kept falling out and eventually has been lost. I like CRKT - great value - but the tool was a gimmick. I'll be buying a different CRKT knife next time.

I have owned many different knife brands from gerber or benchmade. I am. Butcher and use knives for a living and can say this knife is amazing. Out of all my pocket knives this one has the coolest function and form out of them all

Good knife but requires VERY little resistance to close the blade. If you plan on doing even remotely serious cutting I would recommend using the little driver included to lock the blade.

Great knife

The seller was awesome and I even received this item well before I expected. I would defiantly order from this seller again.That being said, I was very disappointed with the knife as a whole. The locking mechanism was billed as a slip joint knife which I have no problems with using, but in actually the knife uses a friction lock mechanism. A ball bearing in the handle travels along the blade of the knife and sets in a depression at about 90 degrees for a firm lockup, but at 180's, the lockup is worse than any other knife I have had. It is like a liner lock knife without the liner lock and the blade is almost free to open and close with hardly any force. Without the aid of the locking torques wrench, any pressure on the back of the blade will cause the blade to fold. Even with the torques wrench in place, there is blade wiggle up and down, and the locking wrench can easily slip out of the handle and be lost. CRKT makes some great knives, and I like to concept of this knife, but the execution is all kinds of suck. If locking mechanism was a true slip joint mechanism, coupled with the wrench locking system, then this knife might be a winner, but as is, I would recommend a broken frame lock knife over this knife.

I received this knife yesterday. It is sharp out of the box. The black stonewash looks great. The handle is grippy without being aggressive and it feels good in the hand although the pocket clip may create a hot spot with extended use.I doubt, however, that this knife will receive any extended use. When deployed, the blade will slip back to the 90 degree angle far more easily than the blade in my Leatherman Juice or Victorinox Farmer. It is much firmer at the 90 degree angle, but I don't recall ever having to use a knife at a 90 degree angle. I have tightened the pivot screw with the supplied torx wrench/locking bar but the blade is still loose. Further, when locked in its "virtual fixed blade" configuration by the torx wrench/lock bar, there is noticeable up and down blade play.At best this knife is a back-up light EDC.

I have no idea what the point of this thing is. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the description or something. I knew it came with the tool, but not that the knife only locks open by putting the tool through the holes. Who has time to do all this when they need to cut something? Rarely do I have 3 minutes notice before needing to cut, so I can "assemble" the knife. I LOVE crkt, and will continue giving them my business, but what a weird, useless product this one is.

Ich mache es kurz eines meiner liebsten EDC, da leicht und handlich. Der Slip Joint geht etwas zu leicht, aber mit dem beigefügten Pin lässt es sich auch fixieren. Das Messer sieht wie ich finde cool aus, ist von Werk aus scharf und hat eine ordentliche Verarbeitung, für mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

Sieht nicht ganz so wertig aus wie in anderen Rezensionen beschrieben( Kunststoffgriffschalen)Das feststellen ist etwas fimmelig.Etwas zu teuer für meinen geschmack. Für ein EDC etwas zu kantig

Dieses Messer ist gut verarbeitet und WaffG §42a kompatibel, daher kann das Messer jederzeit mitgeführt werden.CEKT Messer sind top.

Mein täglicher Begleiter geworden! Stahl läßt sich gut schleifen und ist nicht zu hart.Für tägliches werkeln und Brötchen schneiden ideal.
