This $12 Keychain Pocket Knife Packs Surprising Utility

Very short sharp blade, and I love it! I mostly use it for opening boxes, but I have used it when out in the garden harvesting limes, veggies, etc. I can stick the blade into a lime and work it around to cut it cleanly in half, very easy to use if a bit small in large hands. I actually bought two of these, on one of them the bearing is much smoother and flicks out really easily, the other seems to have a bit more resistance. Both have worked really well for me, could easily fit them on a keychain and the blade stays secured. A bit heavy to maybe wear around the neck, but also easily fits in your pocket. You can feel the quality, good weight for its size, and comes nice and sharp!” — Tyler Minard

“Like many guys out there I collect and use a lot of different knives. This is by far may favorite knife in terms of versatility. I use it near daily for work, it’s still very sharp despite nearly a year of use and I have yet to need to sharpen it.” — William Burner

“I used to carry a small Swiss Army Knife and found the blade use mostly-disappointing for small ropes. I ran across the Smith & Wesson Benji and figured I would give it a try. The blade configuration takes a little getting used to, but it works for what I need. The obtuse point on the blade is very useful for opening packages. It is fairly heavy for it’s small-sized blade, but you do get the belt-clip and bottle opener. Overall, I’ve found it very durable and have not had to sharpen it yet. It looks pretty cool with the red accent and I attached a few keys to it. The belt clip is removable if you don’t use it with just a couple small Allen-head screws. It’s a pretty good choice for a small knife with a beefy little blade.” — OntheWeb

“I was tired of always needing a knife to open packages and whatnot, so finally bought one. I didn’t want a key chain knife, but something I could clip on my shorts, pants, or belt instead. This one is perfect.
A few things to note, you can open it with one hand, but you have to sort of snap your hand at the same time you flip the tab at the same time. Its completely silver on one side. Which is nice. And the clip is actually super tight. So tight that I couldn’t easily get the knife on my waist band. But that’s easily fixed by bending the clip out a bit. Before making it wider, this could easily have been used as a money clip. Although it might be a bit thick and heavy for that.
It’s got a super sharp edge that I imagine will be easy to sharpen. Oh, and it’s got a limited lifetime warranty. So that’s cool. Overall, I’m totally happy with with knife!” — Zero Dean

This knife is sturdy, sharp, and heavy. It is probably the best small knife I have bought for under $30 in a very long time. It actually pushed me to buy the full-size version as well. I am also going to buy a second probably the best mini pocket knife for the money on Amazon at the moment. The locking mechanism clicks in place perfectly. 110% recommend this product.” — John a

This is the kind of utility knife you can run over with a car/truck/bus and not worry about it. And they kindly added a bottle opener, which, IMHO, should be standard on any small tool like this. The blade/pivot is stiff out of the box, so it can’t be flipped open one handed, at least not at first. I’ll probably pull the frame and dry/clean/lube the pivot and bearing if there is one. But that’s just because I would like it to be an easy flipper. And I like to rebuild my knives to my liking. The blade is small, sharp and solid. You could easily use this for some light prying work and not damage the blade. It’s a beast. It also comes with a clip on the back/lock side, which I didn’t notice from the pics. Nice addition, and easy to remove if you don’t need it. I was able to pick up this knife during a speed-sale, so I got it REALLY cheap. But I think the normally discounted price is more than fair.” — S. Kosloske
