If you just need an ignorantly large fixed blade EDC this is the one. I've had several and even the original is still sharp as a razor after years and several hard uses.

I’m a fan of both CRKT, and ti’s products. I love knives, and my latest CRKT is the Clever Girl Kukri. Design, execution, and value are beyond that of others in the same categories- price-wise, quality, and concept. As a hideout knife, with the proper carriage, it would be both surprising- to the other guy, as well as devastating. Known for their quality products, CRKT does not stint on its wares. Even the sheath is ambidextrous. Sharp, wicked-sharp, out of the box, the dynamics of the Kukri blade are such that even an idiot would think twice, if on the wrong end of the blade. For serious social difficulties, or as a ‘round the camp knife feathering sticks for the fire, or for cutting food for one’s meals, this knife will suffice. A time tested design, well proven by the mighty Gurkhas, short in stature, giants in combat, the Kukri is in the same class as the Bowie, or my other favorite, TOPS’ Wild Pig Hunter. Both from Amazon, The Kukri inspires anyone who picks it up. It is well in league with my other Kukri’s that I’ve purchased from Amazon over the years. I love the modern way that Mr. Austin McGluan, the knife’s designer, upgraded the superb blade design. Everything about it is a joy. I hope he makes many more Kukri’s, as there are many, many possibilites. Now a fan. God Bless You and Yours, Sir!

I feel like I have a very fine, well thought out miniature breaking knife in my hand, or a very beefy filet knife or trimmer. Something a kind of street chef would not leave home without. The blade has a very fine edge that comes to a very fine thin point. The last inch of the spine is quite thin, and therefore limits its ability as a true combat knife that would maintain its thickness nearly into the point. In other words as a hard use combat knife this thing is going to lose some portion of its point 100% guaranteed. A stand in pry-bar this isn't, and a large bone would definitely snap that point off. Deployed as a defensive tool used to untangle yourself and get away it would work quite well. The knife out of the box was not as sharp as I would have liked, but about 10 minutes on a razor strap with green compound and it is now shaving razor sharp. How will I use this knife? Probably to help friends with prep work in their kitchens at get togethers and cookouts, as this is as fine a cutter as you will ever get at this price point.

Great knife, sharp outta the box, great lock system, love the style of the knife.. D2 not a bad steel however, for the price of this knife your basically paying more for the Ckrt deadbolt system then you are for the steel.. Only con's I have about is 1) It's a little small in my hands & its a 9 inch folding knife & 2) Not all that great of a flipper, its pretty smooth on the flipper tab.. So u doesn't always flip out had knives that was 20 bucks that was a better flipper

Everything from the edge geometry to the weight/balance is astounding. I have bought dozens of CRKT knives before but this one is by far my favorite and my new EDC. The only thing I would like to see different is a more compact belt clip. This one is very robust beast which is nice but a bit heavy for a comfortable carry, which is a minor detail considering the awesomeness of the rest of the blade and sheath is. Thank you CRKT for making!Update: it is now March 10th I've used this Incredible blade now for over a month, and I feel compelled to come back to my review and correct my opinion on the belt holder. Yes it is still big but... the benefit of being able to attach and de-attach it from my belt or shoulder holster is a huge, quick and easy to remove, which far out ways the cons of the size. So this beauty is now a 10/10 for me. By far my favorited blade I've bought. Thanks again CKRT and McGlaun Designs for making such a beautiful Clever Girl!

I put off getting this knife for a long time. Why? Frankly, I thought it was terribly overpriced. Most of the time it's around $160 MSRP. Ridiculous, IMHO, for a D2 blade and g10 scales. I love persian style blades and really wanted to check out the new lock but just couldn't justify the tariff. Recently, however, it came up for $105 and a gift card lowered it to $88 shipped. So I pulled the trigger even though I think it's still $20 too high.Now to the knife itself - I like it a lot. Love the blade shape and it came decently sharp ootb. It will slice paper well but doesn't shave arm hair on my example. F&F is very good but not flawless. The lock is good - very stable lockup with no up/down or side to side movement. The lock is easy to operate. It flips open well with just a bit of wrist flick and closes the same. For me, it opens easier with the flipper than the thumb stud - YMMV. Centering is close enough to perfect to make no difference. Ergos are good but again YMMV. I like the blade length and overall size - you'd have to have truly massive mitts to run out of real estate. I Like big knives and I will not lie.Would I buy it again? At the price I snagged it or lower - yes. At the regular price? I'd wait again.

I've had a fixed blade CRKT Clever Girl for a couple of years. Although I really like it, I can't legally carry it in my state. The folding Clever Girl preserves most of the original's looks and function in a package that fits in my pocket.The lock is SUPER strong. If you abuse locks, this is the knife to get. The D2 blade steel is tough and takes a great edge. It comes shaving sharp. The handle provides a good grip without shredding skin. The pocket clip allows the knife to ride very low in the pocket; yet, it is surprisingly comfortable, even when I ride my motorcycle. The blade flips open easily using the flipper tab and a slight flick of the wrist.I like this knife so much that I gave one to my friend. He really likes his, too.

Top notch from CRKT. Nothing to pick on. Is centered when closed. Rock solid when open, no wiggle. Edge grind is even. No flaws in manufacturing whatsoever. Opens and closes as should. Is not buttery smooth as some knives are due to the locking mechanism. Is still smooth, though not buttery. Haha. Can barely use the flipper but opens fine with the thumb stud. Action is a little tight. May break in. Or not. No biggie. Very nice knife overall. Is not lightweight by any means. But is also not my heaviest folder. Overall shape has a middle eastern vibe. Like it alot. No issues. Allthough I would love to see a lighter weight version of this knife. Similar to how Spyderco did the Manix 2 Lightweight.Is a bad ass knife nontheless. Somewhat intimidating looking. No regrets. Great knife.
