SRM Pocket Folding Knife, Axis Lock, G10 Handle, D2 Blade, Pocket Clip for EDC, Survival, Outdoor Uses, 9201-GB.……

This knife is so, so good for the price. It's slim, lightweight, has a strong lock, and a useful blade shape.The plastic scales sound a little cheap when you tap them but I can't complain too much because they offer GREAT grip and don't chew up your pockets. The deep carry pocke clip makes it easy to carry this relatively large knife. Mine came razor sharp with an honest-to-goodness near mirror polished edge. The opening hole is well shaped and makes it easy to open a number of different ways.The only real downside is that it came loaded with gooey blue grease. It was easy enough to take the knife apart and wipe down the parts a bit but I would rather not have to do that. On the plus side, the opening action smoothed out a lot once I cleaned the blue goo out.It is shocking how good this knife is for the price.

Following the advice of many EDC/knife YouTubers, I purchased this knife with high expectations of a low-budget product that punched way above its weight for the price. Now that I've had this knife for a couple months, I can confidently say that it IS a good product that offers a lot of value + a great blade for the price, but there are some negatives that I would confidently attribute to the price point which would cause me to hesitate before buying this again.My main frustration with the knife has to do with its construction. The thin metal liners and FRN scales provide very little resistance to flexing, which requires the screws to play a larger role in providing rigidity than most other knives I've used. To avoid blade play in the pivot, you've gotta fully torque all the screws, which in turn restricts the blade's ability to move freely on its washers, requiring a more deliberate effort to open it than is ideal for a folding knife with a crossbar lock.The positives of this style of structure is that it's extremely lightweight, and absurdly thin in the pocket for a 3.5ish inch knife. A few other notable positives the quality of the blade itself, which came with a literal mirror polished edge that has retained its sharpness quite well, and a well done pocket clip.At $20-$23, this is a good value, but there are lots of other newer knives near that price point that may offer a more solid setup with a similar blade material. Perhaps the blade will be smaller, or they'd rely on a simple liner lock instead of the more complex crossbar setup, but that could be a worthwhile trade for more rigidity in the hand. However, if you're looking for a light-use EDC with a longer blade, or perhaps a large but light knife for backpacking, I would very strongly consider the SRM 9201.

An absolute great knife for the price. Out the box it was super sharp, eye pleasing, centered, but opened kind of gritty. I took it apart and saw a build up of crease on the pivot. Once I cleaned and lubricated it, it opened and drop shut like a $100 knife. I was going to drop it in the tool box, but it’s so fun to open and shut. The thumb slot is great for reverse flipping, spydie flip, thumb opening. It’s light weight with pretty good fit and finish. 8cr13mov blade is easy to sharpen. Excellent locking action on this as well. Highly recommend.

I have been looking for a good knife after I moved and lost the random one a friend bought me years ago. I bought one without reading reviews and it was pretty disappointing, I then found one that MIGHT have been the same model as my old one, but decided to look at some reviews first. One consistent recommendation was for SRMs knives, which are apparently among the best axis locking knives, and made of a good quality steel, IDK anything about any of that.What I know is that the blade opens smoothly (with one hand or two), it cuts very well, the lock is secure, and it is easy to close without any fear of getting near the blade in a dangerous way. It also looks pretty nice, which is not important but is cool.I just bought a second one in different color scheme (black with metal colored blade vs black with black blade) so that I have one for in the house and one for my car.Experts seem to think this is pretty good, I am not an expert, but it seems good to me too.

Good 20$ knife. Perfect weight for backpack, life jacket, purse or edc. My knife came extremely sharp in good working order. For its size it’s very light. Bar lock is much easier to work than some of my others. If you’re a lefty like me these bar locks are far better than the liner or frame locks. I would not use this as a camping or bush craft folder, the handle and frame would just not hold up. Great backup or beater folder that doesn’t break the bank. Good edc that won’t weigh you down, just don’t expect miracles...

I had very low expectations when ordering this knife--I was mainly interested in trying out the crossbar lock. When I began to work the knife, I was impressed by the lockup and--after a bit of wear--how smooth the pivot worked; in fact, it was the first knife which I was able to use the finger flick to open!The knife is solid and is inexpensive enough that I don't mind the thought of losing it while working but can still count on it to work when needed.However, I wish that they could have chosen a better steel than what is on offer. Maybe D2 or even 12CR would be great. 8CR is definitely a middling steel which I would have paid to upgrade.

I really like this knife. I've never been a fan of clip point blades but this one has grown on me. It's fairly thin, the Zytel handles offer great weight reduction and with the texturing you won't lose your grip in wet weather. The blade flicks open with minimal effort and locks securely. Blade grinds were even and sharpness was top notch, probably the sharpest pocket knife I've bought from the factory. The blade holds an edge for a long time. I barely feel it in my pocket when I'm carrying it. Over all a great knife for a reasonable price, would definitely buy again.
