Eafengrow EF56 Folding Knife

Look is classy and sleek. solid feel. Assisted open is fluid. Great EDC purchase good price for the quality

Nice knife. Great for EDC. G10 handle is light and durable and blade is very sharp (we’ll see how well the blade holds up). Owned for a week and the screws holding the pocket clip have started to back out.

The blade looks good and a sharp edge can be put on it. It also fits well in the pocket and rides low for convenient.A couple of problems presented themselves though.1. The top of the blade is up and it often doesn't stay in the handle when folded and in the pocket. I've stabbed myself several times and on a couple of occasions cut myself pretty badly just reaching into my pocket.2. The design of the pocket clip is not the best. The top of the clip sticks up too high and often catches on things. Mine caught on my seatbelt every time I got out of the car. Agreed only a few weeks it broke off entirely. Now I need to carry it in a sheath which honestly is safer as I'm no longer in danger of accidentally stabbing myself with it.

Nice blade, sharp, the handle a bit too thick but the bearing starting making grinding noises after I used the knife once and had to put some lateral pressure on it.

Here's another win for Eafengrow. I am a collector and really like this knife. I have a number of Eafengrow knives. At first I thought they were good looking but were probably crap. I have learned that they are as good as they look. I realize that some models are ripoffs of other much more expensive knives.Well I'm sorry but I can own ten Eafengrow knives for the price on one or two more expensive knives that they look like. Is there any difference between S35VN or M390 and D2 or even 9cr for that matter? I know a lot of people here will say there's a world of difference. I don't know they're probably right, but I'm just a regular guy and I use my knives for regular things and I can't really tell a difference between the cheaper steels and the S35s and 390s that own. I suppose if I were going on a week long back packing trip I'd take I'd take one of the better steel knives. Other than that I really can't tell the difference.Now-days many sellers on Amazon claims their knives are D2 steel. I have no way of testing them but they do cut very well not at all unlike some knives I have that I know are D2.This knife functions very well opening and closing are smooth and easy. It cuts cleanly and smoothly without any hangups in the edge. It fits my medium hand well and can be used for any appropriate task.Highly recommended.

Locking action is really good, no second guessing if the knife is in place or not. Fluid action when opening or closing the knife. No scraping or jamming. Very clean marks from machining, no complaints there. Thickness of the knife is a bit thicker than expected but that isn't a negative, I did not look into how thick the knife actually was and I made my opinion based on the photos. Overall I love this knife and would purchase another.

Great value at $40 when I bought mine

This knife is my new every day carry. The ergonomics of the knife are perfect for my large hands. Fit and finish were excellent. I can be very critical but the knife is beautiful. It came sharp but touched up and it became shaving sharp in about 10 strokes. The G10 handle is functional and has good look. Opens with a solid snap and is an easy one handed close. I have approximately 50 folding knives and this one at its price point stands out. My first Eafengrow but not my last.
