Imperial Schrade IMP22Y Folding Pocket Knife, Stainless Steel for Outdoor, Outdoor Survival and EDC,Silver

IF "made in China" is offensive, than this knife is probably NOT the knife brand for you because that's where it's made. I bought this little knife for mostly opening boxes and packages coming into the shop, but the lil' yellow stinker has managed to whittle it's way into my pocket outside of there quite frequently.Initially, I just looking for a basic, simple, one-bladed pocket knife that didn't cost me a small fortune.I was not disappointed with this particular one. Good lock up, not too hard to pull the blade, bright yellow helps makes it easier to see where I left it as I'm always setting it down, get busy and not paying attention where i put it. Blade is centered and not loose at all. It has many of the qualities of a much more expensive knives.About the only cmplaint, like others have mentioned, it was a little gritty out of the box, but a good cleaning/oiling and working with it has made it smooth out rather nicely....no complaints with that now.It didn't take me too long to get it razor sharp, and it seesm to hold the edge fairly well for a knife at this price point. It's not made of the best knife blade steel out there, but it is more than adequate for the use it was purchased for. FWIW, when it does start to dull, and it will, I give it a few passes on my strop and it's right back to being plenty sharp enough for the purposes that it's used for.On top of all of that, IF I do happen to lose it, I'm not out a big ole bunch of money.Overall, I'm wll-pleased with it as it meets my needs quite well.Bottom line: I just like it.

I bought this for less than $8 and free shipping! I figured not a great financial loss if the knife turned out to be sub-par. To my absolute surprise, it is extremely well made, nicely fitted and finished, with a very positive opening and closing and absolutely no side play of the blade. Very sharp, stainless blade nicely centered in the handle. I love the yellow celluloid handles, very smooth and rounded edges - easy on the pocket. Perfect size for EDC, I ordered two more as spares from E-Cop (great seller) as well as a full-size Imperial black handled sodbuster. All in all. a great knife and a great value!!Update: A few years ago, with two daughters in college, I sold probably 100 knives ( among many other possessions) to ease the costs of tuition and just living. Well those days are past, kids gone, and I just bought this knife again, for only 8.69! Such a modest cost for such a good knife! Mine was next day delivery, the blade is centered perfectly in the handle, sharp and flawless! Perfect size for EDC in front pocket, fit and finish without any issues. Great value!

I received this as a gift off my wish list and I couldn't be happier. The price/quality value is surely 5 stars. This is certainly not a perfect knife, but for less than the price of a single movie or a couple lattes, you have a sharp, strong, and wonderful feeling knife. It is hard to say that the yellow is a very classic shade, and feels great in your hand. I use this as my EDC now, and I often find myself turning it over in my hand as it is very smooth. The spring on mine is very strong, making it require effort to open, but this is good as I have young kids and it keeps them from opening the knife accidentally. I use this knife daily to cut hay bales open, slice an apple at lunch, and open envelopes and packages, all with exceptional results. If you are looking for a knife for EDC, or even a secondary knife or something to give out for a gift, you can't go wrong here.

This is a pretty good little knife. A little gritty in the action, a little oil and some opening and closing and it cleaned out nicely. A little smaller than I thought, but really nice.Had a some dark spots from the sanding of the handle from the factory, not a big deal for me for a eight dollar knife.Centering was good, and the pull was decent and no blade wobble, good lock up ( not a lock back ). Snap was a bit weak at first but it got better after the oil. All and all a good little work knife.

Price point can’t be beat at $7! No pocket clip or locking mechanism. Edge is sharp and consistent the length of the blade. Handle it smooth and no rough spots. I think this one is hard to beat for a low cost knife. But it to put in your glove box, your pack, or back pack! Worth every cent.

Truly excellent pocket knives especially for the price! Feels good in the hand, not too big or small. Good quality blade, tight action, good snap on blade lock. Thumbs up.
