SZCO Supplies 5-Inch Classic Lockback Folding Knife Brown

Good, sharp, lock back folding knife.

5 inch knife, 3 3/4inch blade almost 4inch. Arrived in excellent shape, works very well. It's very cheap so I understand, some aren't going to work 100% but mine was an excellent shape.

My last pocket knife was an Old Timer with a 2.5 inch blade. It was small enough to fit in my pants pocket and not even know it was there. And, it unfolded easily when I needed to unpack sealed boxes and stuff, which is my main need for these pocket knives. I wanted one just a little bigger.This knife is huge. I forget the dimensions, about 4 or 5 inch blade length. Fully opened it looks like something out of a slasher movie. For $6.99 you can't beat it. The only problem is that it is almost impossible to close the blade. I tried several times, and it was the same every time. It is scary to hold down the tab with one finger and try to close the blade down with the other hand. It's no problem if the blade would smoothly unlock and go back down. This knife does not do that. Maybe later I can try spraying some WD-40 and it will fix it. But out of the box, it is a scary knife to try to close.Other than that, the knife is big and sharp and very capable of cutting stuff. I folded it up and put in into my pocket to see how it feels in there, and it seems OK, but it is still bigger than I really wanted.After taking the pictures and trying to close it again, I realized a certain way to close it easily. So, there is a way to close it.Update 4-22-2025OK. After several times of opening and closing it, it works fine now. Maybe it got rusted from sitting in the warehouse for a long time. Who knows. For $7.99, it's a pretty good deal. Solid knife, heavy metal, solid steel with a wooden inset panel.Well, I tried it again, and it is hard to close. If I hold the button on the bottom and try applying force one way or the other with my other fingers, it seems to help sometimes.

Good solid knife.

The finish is very nice. The wood inlay fits nice and lines up with the frame. Good weight and fits well in the hand. Hoping to use it for my daily knfie.Knife arrived sharp and is still holding it's edge after a few uses on boxes, branches and stripping wires.The reason for the 3 star (average) is it doesn't appear to be staked right, on the pivot pin. Initially it arrived tight and the blade closed to one side. Now, it has a lot of play in the blade when opened. I'll probably have to figure out how to steak the pin and refinish the booster.

Lasted less than 6 months and maybe a dozen folds before the locking mechanism broke. No excessive force or misuse, just a cheap knife. Don't waste your money, knives also have name brands for a reason I guess.

Perfect little pocket knife for the glove box of my truck. The knife is sturdy and better quality and craftsmanship than I imagined I would get for the price. The lock is strong and sturdy when it is open

I got one of these to replace a cheapo folding knife I got almost 50 years ago. It's solid feeling, with good heft and smooth operation. Dang sharp blade too. Mine came with a little corrosion on the haft, but it's not an issue at all. Pretty good blade for the buck. I'll check back in 50 years.
