Product Description
Just like its larger brother, the Goblin, the Bestech IMP features a stout, aggressively jimped blade and thick handle. A compact folder with premium materials, the IMP is easy to control and easier to carry Read More
I prefer the Goblin...but this one is great. Ot even has some internal milling to reduce weight.
I would prefer if the handle was a bit smaller. It uses the Goblin's handle...so that seems a bit odd as there is so much extra length when folded shut. I didn't knock off a star as the ergonomics are helped with the use of the larger handle.
Great knife, just what I was expecting. The perfect size to use without freaking out co-workers/bystanders. My only complaint is aesthetic- the clip & spacer are obviously steel coloured to (kinda) look like titanium. The steel clip is actually a good thing- I have knives with titanium clips & they don't flex at all; which means that instead of the clip giving way when inserted into a pocket, the fabric has to give. Kinda wears out pockets fast. The steel spacer is obviously a cost cutting measure, but it's the only thing that cheapens the look & keeps it from 5 stars. If the spacer were titanium, it'd give the look of quality that the knife actually deserves & delivers. FWIW, mine has no number but that doesn't matter to me.
Great EDC knife. Extremely well built with a smooth easy action. The footprint is a little bigger than I thought in the pocket of my dress pants but not a deal breaker. Carbon insert is really nice and gives it a fantastic look as well as saving a little weight. I would definitely recommend this blade.
I have this with the carbon fiber insert. This is my second-favorite knife. I got this after I started working in Boston where the max length is 2.5" The carbon insert is absolutely amazing. It's also impossible to photograph since it changes greatly based on lighting. The action was a little tight, but worked great once I adjusted it. I like the machining and the design. I like how the blade matches up with the curve of the handle. I like how it fits my hand. I like how long it keeps an edge after being sharpened. I like the shape of the blade. The edge, the "front" bit and the back are all great.
I prefer this over the Goblin unless I specifically have to use the pointy tip, and if I need a tip, then I usually just go for my (7 year old) Benchmade 470.
Some things I don't like: It's a bit thick. I knew that going in and it's not any worse than most other knives, but it's sometimes weird in my pocket. The biggest issue is lack of a deep-carry clip. This is the #1 thing holding this knife back and I'm considering machining one. Finally, some of the finishing steps they have chosen "interesting" options that are not consistent with the Goblin. For example, size of the lasered marking on the blade, etc.
Despite some flaws, since this is the best knife I can carry to work I must rate it 5 stars.
Really wanted to like this, and, truthfully, do still like the ergonomics of it. The opening action, however, is really poor, and irritates me whenever I open it, so I end up not carrying it, which is a real shame.
Maybe, if I take it apart and see why the darn thing won't flip, I might like it again, but I've been lazy, and peeved at the knife in general (I expected better), and haven't done it yet. Mebbe I'll like it better if/when I do.
Don't often leave feedback. Mostly I buy tools, either they work or they don't. This is the best EDC knife I own. Do not often need a long blade. Mostly medium or light slicing and sometimes I use a knife for prying, The IMP checks every box. Light, strong, sharp, easy-to-handle and handsome. Liked the first one so much, bought a backup. Never done that before.
This is a very different EDC knife. Very hefty blade, and razor sharp. I touch it up on a leather strop to keep the edge at ready. A very well made and attractive knife, love it!!!
I REALLY like this knive.
Its different, its Really well made. The flip is awesome and SOOOO easy, SOOO fast!.
Interesting that some people got non -serialized as I got 30/100. I certainly wasnt on the first drop.
May have to get another as I dont want to mar the pretty little thing!
Ordered the Goblin because of this knive.
