The flying shark design makes it a conversation piece without making it a showpiece — it carries serious and works seriously. If you want a knife that opens with one hand, sits comfortably on a belt or in a pocket, and handles everyday cutting tasks without drama, this one belongs in the conversation.

Washington State generally permits folding knives, and assisted-open folders are widely carried there. That said, knife carry laws vary by city and municipality, and some locations have restrictions on blade length or assisted-open mechanisms. It’s always worth a quick check of your local ordinances before carrying any folding knife in public. When in doubt, your local police department’s non-emergency line is a reliable resource. How sharp does this knife arrive, and can I sharpen it myself? Most knives at this price point arrive with a functional working edge — serviceable for everyday tasks right out of the box. 3Cr13 steel is one of the easier stainless alloys to sharpen at home, so if you want a sharper edge, a basic whetstone or pull-through sharpener will do the job without a lot of effort. It’s a good steel choice for someone who wants a low-maintenance carry blade. Is this suitable as a self-defense tool? A folding knife can serve a deterrent or defensive role, but it’s worth being clear-eyed: deploying a knife in a self-defense situation carries serious legal and practical implications. For most people focused primarily on personal defense, a pepper spray or personal alarm is a more practical first line. That said, as a daily carry tool that can serve multiple purposes, this knife is a reasonable choice for someone who wants versatility in what they carry. What is 3Cr13 steel, and is it good enough for everyday use? 3Cr13 is a Chinese stainless steel commonly found in budget and mid-range knives. It won’t hold an edge as long as premium steels like D2 or S30V, but it’s corrosion resistant, easy to sharpen, and more than capable for everyday cutting tasks — opening packages, food prep, utility work. For a carry knife at this price point, it’s an honest, practical choice. Just touch it up on a sharpener every few weeks and it’ll stay in good working shape.
