BASTION ‘Braza’ Premium D2 Tool Steel EDC Knife | Folding Keychain Pocket Knife for Men & Women | Frame Lock Titanium-Coated Stainless Steel Handle | 'Flip to Open' Tactical Jack Razor Sharp Blade

The media could not be loaded.  I have done business with Bastion LLC quite a few times before. My 1st purchases were for Glock accessories. The meticulous care and detail put into those pieces were what drew me to this knife. I must say this is one of the most sturdiest knives I've ever seen; such a great value for the money, and so shapely with such sheer lines! Made with D2 steel the blade is simple yet elegant. It is a beefy knife and well designed to be a perfect EDC in the most hostile of environments. The blade deploys smoothly and rapidly and once locked into place has no wiggle from side to side or back-and-forth. The attention to detail in this knife is phenomenal especially with the ceramic ball bearings making this knife open smooth as butter! I enjoy this knife so much I kept one for everyday carry and had to purchase another just to put in my collection! Bastion LLC, well done!

If you like super lightweight EDC knives...this knife is not for you. But if you're in the market for a razor-sharp tank of a knife this could fit the bill. Scary hair shaving sharp from the factory, plus a blade a bit over an1/8 inch thick blade with thick steel slab handle construction make this one heck of a beasty knife! But at just shy of half a pound it is heavy, so bear that in mind. Personally, I am carrying it in my pocket right now and it is fine for me but I love big knives so take that for what it is.

This isnt the lightest knife in the world, but I actually prefer a little heft/bulk for my knives, so no issue for me there. My biggest complaint with this out of the box is the action; it feels pretty stiff and not as smooth to open compared to what I find ideal. I assume some minor adjustments of the screw tightness and some lubricant will fix that quite easily, but I felt like that needed to be mentioned.You cant really go wrong with this bad boy if you're looking for a knife that can handle the storm and dont want to spend a lot.

I bought this knife after I thought I’d lost my Braza s35vn knife. I couldn’t believe it was $100 less! It’s a sturdy, sharp knife but there are some important differences: the bearing is not as smooth action. I don’t think it’s ceramic. It still opens fast, and the flipper works well, but there’s a tad more hesitation than on the more expensive model. The D2 steel is plenty tough for most day to day applications, but doesn’t have the same hardness of the s35vn. Also the clip isn’t as tough or nice looking.

This knife knife is first and foremost a solid steel folder. However due to the lock stock, finicky pivot (mine came too tight, and still playing with the it), and weak detent hold it back from being truly great. There are better options at this price, but they are liner locks. However, this knife came out of the box razor sharp (and still is). The ergonomics are great, and I love the blade. It still gets pocket time, I don’t know why, I just love this knife despite its flaws, can’t put my finger on it, but I would recommend this knife.

The quality of this knife, for the price, is superb, astounding, and unbelievable frankly. I can't understand how I got such a hefty high quality knife with D2 steel at $38 shipped. The knife is perfectly centered between it's scales, the blade lock is perfect with zero play. And this bad boy came RAZOR sharp, I'm talking dry shaving sharp. You find me a better knife for the same price, and I'll invest everything I have in that business, but I can gurantee you won't find it. Bravo Bastion, if this thing holds up, I'll buy 10.

This knife is solid and heavy. It is not too large for pocket carry if you don't mind the weight. I really like the blade and in fact, would like to see this type on other knives. The Amazon price is really low compared to other sellers. This knife is a serious bargain on Amazon. D2 blade and very solid workmanship make this a better than average knife in this price range. Knife opens and closes easily, but will require a bit of practice flipping to achieve consistent opening and lockup. I give it two thumbs up and I am, hard to please.

Very solid knife. It has good weight to it and comes sharp out of the box. The blade and handle are both heftier than most of the other knives I have of this blade length, but it feel good, cuts well, and flips open well. Just keep in mind that there's no assist, so you'll need to use more of your wrist in order to get it open. Otherwise, it'll only open halfway.
