Couteau pliant Huntshield Gallagher EDC

Good value budget knife (cheap import). Sharp edge. Nice heft, comfortable handle. No problems with blade lock or clip yet. Not my EDC.

Ok knife, definitely needs some work by the manufacturer.

Although the knife keeps a good sharp edge, the belt clip is a fail, the two screws slowly loosened and the clip fell off with two weeks in my pocket

I got this as a gift from my friend who is a fellow knife collector. I use it at work to open boxes primarily, but it’s a solid and sharp knife for pretty much everything from whittling to cutting veggies. It’s a tiny bit difficult to open, but honestly it’s only because it doesn’t have a thumb stud. However you can use gravity and a flick to get it open. The back lock is perfectly easy to push in.

Bought one on canadiantire.ca and picked up at a store. The biggest complaint is that its back lock is VERY tight. It takes serious effort to press it down to unlock the blade. And not only the spring is tight, it also sticks, so when you finally manage to press the lock down, you can feel and hear a pop when the locking bar gets out of the end of the blade. On top of that there are some other issues. There is significant side to side wobble of the blade. You can even hear a cracking sound when rocking the blade, probably from the wood scales. The handle itself has sharp edges and isn't comfortable to hold. The wood looks and feels like it is plastic. The deep pocket clip is too close to the handle, you cannot really put the knife deep in a pocket (see photos). Overall impression - huge disappointment. I'll try to return it, though it comes packed in a clam-shell which makes it impossible to keep the original packaging - once you open it, you destroy it.
