I got this yesterday and it’s everything I wanted. The perfect small edc. It’s extremely well made and the blade does everything I’ll need it to. Very sharp. 10/10 with how pleased I am with this purchase.

I just received mine. I'm blown away. It's like a razor, only cooler. The sharpest little knife, by comparison, I have or have seen. I wasn't sure when I joined the drop- but so pleased I did. Blade shape is amazingly useful! But the edge (assuming it lasts) is SHARP beyond my expectations. The entire paciage is great. Balance and feel are very, very cool. That's my opinion, and I'm standing by it. Adding- the feel and the sound are key! ok.

Gosh dang it $152.20 instead of $189 on Blade. I am really tempting just because I never see this knife at this discount price.

A 1.6 inch chisel ground blade from China for $150? Am I missing something? I see that it's s35vn but even that doesn't really justify the price point here.

IanEDCIf someone really wants a knife like this, with these kind of materials, their options are probably this or a full custom. So for someone with very specific, unusual tastes, this is a bargain compared to ~$1000 for a custom.

NotsurewhyibotherSame could be said about any knife with an unusual/unique design....not sure that makes for a 'bargain'

I think what we have here is the world's best box cutter/utility knife. I love that this exists. It's not for me, but I love it all the same.

Massdrop would probably get a lot more of my money if they would do video reviews for us.

I'll disagree with some here because I'm really only looking for something small and light enough that I'll carry it with me everywhere and even wear it at home until bedtime. Even if I'm only wearing a pair of gym shorts.
I just got my kickstarted WESN knife (https://wesngoods.com/products/wesn-microblade) and the size and weight are just right for my use. I'm only cutting open boxes and cutting off tags and zipties so for my use its fine.
I don't really need a "super steel" and its associated super price so I wouldn't buy THIS knife, but its size and weight had me interested. If they offered it in AUS-8 and I didn't have my WESN, I'd buy this.

Nice looking knife but a bit too small to be useful imo

This has "useless" written all over it. I can think off a dozen better knives to get for $150. Not only is the blade shape horrible, it's also a chisel grind (the weakest of all grinds). A 1.6 inch blade? For $150, really? I guess you can open mail with it... Save your $$$ folks, there are many better options out there...

What is the country of origin? Why does Massdrop not put that in the specs by default?

What i find odd is that they have many limited edition colors listed on their site, but none are the 3 listed here (how in the world is plain grey titanium a limited edition color?? Looks like a special run with less work put in to anodize, to lower the cost..... Clever, i guess)

KavikBecause they only made 50 in the gray color (only 20 in blue), hahaha. Anyway, I'm pretty late in this discussion, but I just started using it as my backup edc again (I've had it for a more than a year). Luckily, BladeHQ had it on sale for $110 for awhile and I decided to buy one because I prefer smaller knives and I like the way it looks (sometimes I'm a bit superficial, hahaha). It's been a far better knife than I expected. Originally I was worried about the chisel grind, but it actually works quite well. In general, 98% of the time I use my knives only for opening boxes and this blade shape (mini tanto or whatever it's called) and chisel grind are excellent at that. In my opinion, it is my favorite box opener of the 60+knives in my collection. Is the MSRP higher than it should be? Absolutely, but if you can get it for $110 (like I did on BladeHQ), I think it's a pretty good deal. I think everyone will be surprised by it if they actually have it and use it. That being said, the MSRP on this version is pretty darn high, but the MSRP on the "Vintage" model is flat-out insane, especially considering they made significantly more of each of the Vintage models than of these ones. The only differences are the anodization colors. So, the prices seem to defy logic. I would think the blue color of this model (not the blue Vintage) would be the most expensive because they only made 20. My brain hurts just trying to understand the pricing. Anyway, if any of you stumble across an unused one for $100 or less, I recommend that you buy it. I seriously think you will be quite surprised by this little knife.... in a good way.
