This is definitely a high quality pocket knife - great blade steel, and great handle material. The weight and balance is perfect for me and I had no problem getting it to open smoothly with one hand after a short break-in period (about a week opening it off and on a few minutes a day). Made in USA, what better can you ask for at this price range?

Awesome Pocket Knife

 And i just heard this little metal ting go flying and hit the window and i'm looking around i'm like what the hell was that and then i go and reach down on my side and my knife has fallen inside of my pocket. Oh my god, crap now. I got ta go and you know, buy a new buy new clip so after contacting hoag's warranty - and this is another thing too - hogue has some of the strictest warranty on their knives and they're, not even super expensive knives like they don't make super crazy high-end knives. But they have an extremely strict warranty on them

 Some people might be familiar with that name for firearms and grips and holsters, and you know a lot of collaborations with a lot of other uh firearm brands, which is pretty freaking cool. I don't own any firearms, unfortunately, yet um, but eventually i'll, probably end up taking a look at some of the stuff that hogue makes. I do enjoy this knife, but i think for what it is. It was a little pricey

Hey guys, i wanted to share my opinion on the hogue x1 microflip. This knife comes in at 135.96. It is well was on blade, hq, that's where i purchased it from, but it's not available anymore, and i doubt it's ever gon na come back

 I wish it was a little bit cheaper. Then i'd probably recommend it. I wish the this cutout here was a little bit further back, which i could take care of myself eventually, if i'm not too lazy, but the thing is when you purchase a knife, especially if it's like over a hundred dollars. I really don't think you should be having to do too many modifications within the first couple years of owning it

Hogue X-1 microflip long term review

 It'S not! Oh, my god, but it's! You know what it's a good little grind here and CPM 154 in case I already didn't mention. That is a good to go sort of steel. It'S not the absolute upper echelon, but 430 bucks. It doesn't necessarily need to

 The next thing, the price on this guy seems actually pretty fair word a hundred and thirty bucks here um, and that gives you a bunch of different options. You can get like one cliff blade, etc there. There were a bunch of possibilities here, a bunch of different colors, but I think it's an absolutely fine price point for this. None of the construction and whatnot all seems pretty much in line for all of that and that that's a great thing

 That'S going to be pressing against your hand as you flip this knife open, and so I don't really I'm not a big fan it almost. It looks like the backspace. It was just installed wrong. Um I don't like

 This is called the micro flip. It is not, however, a micro knife here it is against the Spyderco p.m. though and the Spyderco delica

The Hogue Knives X1 Microflip Pocketknife: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

 This is aus am a knife. That'S rock and CPM 154 very functional steel. It looks to be very durable. There'S no blade play up down left or right, which is always something I'm a little bit concerned with with a setup like this, but no blade play on this guy

m. coming in at eight point three inches overall? How about up against the another Hogue? This is the Doug Ritter, Hogue RSK, mk1, g2 or bench main group zillion. However, you want to look at that coming in at about 8 inches and last but not least, a much more comparable knife in terms of size. The spider code Delica Spyderco delica, coming in at 7 inches overall, so you can see they're, not a very big knife

 This knife was provided to me by the pastor own group, I'm involved in so by extension, the manufacturer as usual I'll try not to let that affect my review. It usually doesn't I'll. Give you guys an example here of the action before I weigh it. I'M go ahead and get my scale on there, so this thing has an interesting deployment

 You know it's not quite the same thing that I feel with an axis bar. It'S not quite the same thing that I feel with the manage to both of these knives. There detents or you know, lack of a detent is actually it's just friction created by either this axis bar riding up against the polished and kind of rounded tang of the blank blade, or in this case, on the manage it's the ball bearing riding against or creating Excess friction on the manage blade at a certain point. It'S kind of that idea, but it's not exactly the same thing

Hogue X1 Microflip - Overview and Review

 This is just a piece of folded steel here. It does work. It gets the job done. You know, easy in and out of the pocket

 But back to this flipper here, because you do have a bit of a detent here, so similar to a trigger in like a handgun or a rifle where you have the sear surface where you take up the slack of the trigger, you hit like a wall typically, and then you pull through. This flipper mechanism here is very similar, so you do have a detent. You preload by pushing on the tab, and then when you overcome that detent, the blade just fires out. Really cool mechanism here

 So this one here, 3 ounces with the quality construction it's made from here is really nice. Some of the other things here we'll talk about is this is 100% made in the USA, which is really nice. They use a really nice steel here. This is a CPM 154, Rockwell hardness of about 58 here

 The handles here are from aluminum. Everything is machined. It's a beautiful looking knife. Just a great, great design here

Today I review a Hogue X1 Microflip.  This excellent little EDC knife really has really impressed me!  It’s quickly becoming my go to EDC blade.  The X1 Microflip from Hogue features some impressive build quality and materials that rival a pricey custom folder.  Check of the video review for my complete thoughts!

The steel is tempered, annealed and polished to achieve the necessary hardness and provide optimum resistance to corrosion. 

SHARPENING 
To re-sharpen your knife, use a whetstone at an angle of 15°– 20°. This will result in a cutting angle of 30°– 40°. If sharpening on a grinding wheel, always cool with plenty of water to avoid excessive temperatures and the resulting damages that may occur. 

CLEANING 
If the blades of knife begin to stick together, open and close the blades in warm water several times - this will allow the tools to move easily again. Once dry, apply a drop of Swiss Army Knife Oil between each tool and its spring. Do not put Swiss Army Knives in the dishwasher. 

HISTORY & HERITAGE 
In 1884, Master Cutler Karl Elsener opened a cutlery shop in Ibach, Switzerland. There, he and his cutlers’ union produced the finest steel cutlery, finished with the now-famous proprietary edge preferred globally by professionals and home cooks. Karl supplied the Swiss Army with its standard issue Soldier’s Knife and Officer’s Knife. After the death of his mother, and with the advent of stainless steel, Karl changed the name of the company to Victorinox. It is from those humble beginnings that a worldwide icon was born. Today, Victorinox is still owned and operated by the Elsener family, and both the company and family still resides in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland.".

America's Test Kitchen

Our previous winner turned in another gold medal performance: “Every slice is perfect,” said one tester. It was comfortable and sharp, with a long, tall blade that was “just flexible enough so you feel like it’s doing what you tell it to.”

Testers found this small knife best suited for more minor kitchen tasks such as slicing an apple. Its thin, bendy blade reminded us of a boning knife and, indeed, its flexibility and stature made it dexterous enough to easily and comfortably break down a chicken. However, this flexibility required testers to apply more force to keep the blade steady, which meant it took longer to chop onions, mince parsley, and cube butternut squash. This knife is well suited for someone who doesn’t have a lot of confidence using a traditional chef’s knife. But for those doing a significant amount of chopping, slicing, or mincing, we still recommend our favorite 8-inch chef’s knife.

Still the best—and a bargain—after 20 years, this knife’s “super-sharp” blade was “silent” and “smooth,” even as it cut through tough squash, and it retained its edge after weeks of testing. Its textured grip felt secure for a wide range of hand sizes, and thanks to its gently rounded edges and the soft, hand-polished top spine, we could comfortably choke up on the knife for “precise,” “effortless” cuts.

"There's a reason we have 20 or 30 of these in this kitchen," said a tester; others agreed, calling it "Old Faithful." They found it notably sharp, with "great maneuverability." In sum: "This is exactly what a knife is supposed to be."

Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife) Pioneer -will last a lifetime and can be passed down. It’s all metal, very classy. Not American made, Swiss made.

My husband turns 40 next month, and I’d like to get nice him a long-lasting (preferably American made) gift.  I’m not talking sports car or anything, but we do okay and it doesn’t have to be inexpensive.  I just want to get him something that will give several years of joy and use.  Has anyone received anything like that?  Thanks for your help

Suggestions for a nice present

 As that utters the tool useless if they break. You can work with it, but not long afterwords. My latest is the leatherman wave due to these problems.  UPDATE: I dont use this anymore as the scales broke off and the knife bent a little

Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp Pocket Knife, Black Victorinox Large Pocket Knife Clip Pouch, Leather Black 33210 Carrying Case (Pouch) for Knife - Brown   Update, 11/27/2020 Even though I use this knife every day, usually several times a day, it’s still just like new. Owning this model Swiss Army knife is like having a miniature toolbox on your belt.  This is the third Victorinox Swiss Army SwissChamp pocket knife that I've owned. I carried the last two SwissChamps in a black leather Victorinox Pocket Knife Clip Pouch (B000HJKT9Q)

 This leather case has a belt loop, rather than a clip. Before I ordered this pouch, I read a number of the many great reviews on Amazon. One of the reviewers, "Tool Collector," noted that the SwissChamp was a tight fit in this case, and that the case was made of dry stiff leather. "Tool Collector" suggested using Neatsfoot Oil to soften the leather of this case

 Wanting to avoid scratching the new knife's shinny new ABS scales, I purchased a bottle of Neatsfoot oil to have on hand for when the new case and knife arrived.  When I received my new SwissChamp, and the Swiss Army leather case, I was disappointed to see a number of large scratches on both of the ABS scales (grips). The SwissChamp, which arrived in a sealed Victorinox cardboard box, wasn't wrapped in a protective layer of tissue paper, or anything else. While I'm not sure how the scratches actually happened, I suspect it may have occurred during shipping

Beautifully Made, Compact, Multi-Tool

 I would recommend the purchase of the applicable leather sheath. Although the knife is not excessively heavy it is a little bulky and more suited to belt carry for EDC use.

 but I think the scales are going to be a problem over time no matter how you carry it.

A valuable tool. 2 year review. pro's and cons

 I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there? I would gladly have paid a little extra to get the magnifying glass holder made of stainless. Oh well, hope I don't break it. And (2:) The Price. I paid at the time about $73 which is a lot but to be honest, even though you get a lot of functions, it seems a bit steep

 Not strong but flimsy plastic. It will no doubt break if dropped while open. I mean come on Victorinox, you make basically everything out of quality constructed stainless steel but go cheap there? I would gladly have paid a little extra to get the magnifying glass holder made of stainless. Oh well, hope I don't break it
