"Huzzah what a wonderful useful tool this knife is. I've bought several of them from BudK maybe 5 or 6 of them when they were priced at $16.99. I'd give them to Buddies and Co-workers over the years. Really not sure why they are now priced so high, maybe Tariffs. But still an Awesome Knife that I've cherished carrying since 2010 sometime."
"I’ve had half a dozen of these copies of the famous Black Cat “K55K”. Slim, sharp and extremely durable. The only downside of my latest purchase was the ridiculous $8+ shipping fee."
"Looks great and well made."
"When I was browsing the Budk website, I came across this interesting knife. After researching the history of the design, I decided to get one. It is a great all-purpose knife. I can see why it was popular in the trenches of WW1 and supposedly a popular fighting knife in the Bronx in the 1940's. I'm satisfied, though the metal looks stainless and not carbon steel, but did sharpen easily enough. I'm using it for zucchini harvest on my vegetable farm and zipping open fertilizer bags with ease!"
"It’s a good knife. Lightweight and sharp. Carry it everyday"
"I bought 2 of these Knifes for the price of one Mercator Kat knife. They two I bought from here are excellent quality and work great. No Issues at all. The knife came very sharp right out of the box. Its so light weight you hardly notice it in your pocket. The Lock works flawless. Very Impressed with the quality despite the price and where its made. Im going to buy a few more as gifts."
"This is a flat handle super sharp knife. It is a lockback. It is of a high quality. I really like this knife alot. I may get another it is so good. This is a smooth slim pocket knife. The pins are very slightly raised and smooth. They give a better grip. The blade is awesome."
"I have had one of these since I was 18 ,bought my first in a knife shop in Calis . Broke the point chipping ice out ice fishing. That's The only time it has failed me and I can't fault them for that ,cold and high carbon don't work together well. I have given these to my sons and grandkids. I have 3 on hand because I don't know how long they will be around."
"This knife lives up to the write-up. It is sharp, light weight, and thin (which makes it easy to carry). ' Definitely a great multi-purpose knife."
"Lockback is solid - No blade play and detent is good; maintained by pressing the lock in folded position. Blade is SUPER sharp due to high carbon steel. Tip is shaped to a VERY sharp point. Review on Youtube said this is 0.24" thick, which is one of the main reason I bought this knife. It's about 3 & 1/2 quarters thick but feels like 3 due to routing of handle edges. Swivel post has a lot of resistence, desired. Extremely lightweight at ~86 grams. I can see this knife servicing me for years or even decades to come. Some even say it's better than the original?!"
