Blue Ridge Knives Zancudo Black/Black Framelock Folder

Pretty nice knife. Opens a little stiff at first, but that's expected from a cheaper price point. Blade is sharp and it looks nice.

Bought this as a recommendation, its Very sharp and good size. The opening isn't the best but it's not too difficult to open.

This is an awesome knife. I purchased an Ontario Rat model 1 and really like that knife but it is definitely a bit bulky to carry around every day. I was going to pick up a rat model 2 which is smaller but after doing some research online I discovered that this is a great alternative and I am glad I went with the Zancudo. This has been a great knife and I quite like the size and weight.

Very smooth opening, incredibly sharp from the box, and so far, staying that way, (admittedly with minimal use so far.)

Perfect small folding knife. Handle contour is very comfortable, scales offer good grip. The blade’s flat grind slices well. Liner lock isn’t as solid as I would like, but it should wear in. Stop reading this and buy it.

I like everything about this knife, except the lock up. The framelock has an embedded ball bearing that locks into a detent near the pivot point of the blade when the knife is in the closed position. This detent is relatively deep, making the knife's lockup in the closed position incredibly tight. There is no flipper on the spine, so the only way to open the knife one handed is to use the thumb studs. Because the closed position lockup is so strong, you have to push unreasonably hard with your thumb to open the knife, to the point where it hurts, and you will begin to develop a bruise under the fingernail bed if you mess with it and open the knife a bunch. You can simply open the knife with two hands, but this severely reduces the utility of the knife and renders the thumb studs irrelevant. The build quality is excellent, but the design does not lend itself to easy one-handed use.

Great little knife. Soooooo Smooth to open. A little heavy for the size. I'd like a deep carry pocket clip bit, otherwise great knife.

The knife is very very stiff and is hard to open with the thumbstuds so just grab each side of the blade with your thumb and middle finger when opening. The knife is pretty solid aside from that and I like the feel of it a lot, I was sent the wrong color but I still liked the way it looked.
