Reviews & Ratings for USMC Marine Reaper A/O Folding Knife w/ 3 5/8" Blade — 1 review — Page 1

OK...first off I love knives and I'm always looking for something interesting to use and collect. I really wanted to love this knife and I do ...sort of. PROS: This is a big heavy duty knife, made in America, looks very cool and is REALLY sharp right out of the box. Just a few passes on the ceramic sticks and you could shave with it. The para-cord fob is sweet, a real nice touch. Great grip, fills the hand. Super nice knife for the money.

But....Cons: This not a pocket knife, unless you like carrying a brick in your pocket. HEAVY, thick. Poor design...the pocket(?)clip is backward, making the fob useless. If you use the fob to draw the knife the clip is upside down, if you use the clip the knife is upside down...meaning you have to flip the knife over to bring it into play. The clip is not reversible. This is not a fast opening knife...Auto Opening ???...hardly. Slow, stiff and awkward opening. This would NEVER replace my SOG Flash II as my EDC knife...not even close.

All that being said...a lot of knife for the money. I keep a knife and flashlight in the console of my truck all the time. This is my new truck knife. I'm sure I'll find lots of uses for it.
