While the compact blade on a small pocket knife or multitool can certainly be helpful, if you find yourself using it often (and you probably will) it’s worth upgrading to a larger folding utility knife. Thankfully, Smith & Wesson's most popular model on Amazon just went on sale, and it's less than the price of the average cheeseburger.
The Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops Folding Knife is available on Amazon for just $10, a massive 53% discount on its normal retail price of $22. This model is Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling tactical knife, and it has racked up over 38,000 five-star ratings from satisfied shoppers who say it's "excellent" as an everyday pocket knife. If you need an affordable, simple yet effective folding knife, look no further—this is it.

This 3.5-ounce pocket knife is designed for maximum versatility and effectiveness, and it’ll make a great addition to any tool belt or everyday carry setup. The 3.1-inch blade is crafted from black oxide high-carbon stainless steel for superior durability and edge retention, and it’s paired with a sturdy, lightweight black aluminum handle. One side has a clip, so you can stick the knife on a belt or pocket, and a finger flipper makes the blade easy to deploy, even with just one hand. The blade features both smooth and serrated sections to handle all kinds of jobs, from cutting a seatbelt to slicing cheese, and jimping on the top of the blade helps you get a better grip for more precise cuts.
Shoppers have been thrilled with the superb quality and excellent performance of this Smith & Wesson knife, and several have specifically highlighted its durability. “I used this knife for nearly four years,” a shopper said. “It was one of the sharpest, most durable knives I've ever had.” Another reviewer who has owned theirs for several years agreed, saying, “It still holds strong after years of pretty much daily use.”
Other reviewers loved its ergonomic, well-balanced design. “It's a good, solid build,” a shopper noted. “When it's open, it's actually balanced towards the center—the ultimate mark of a great knife.” That same reviewer also noted its “razor-sharp edges, even at the serrated portion.”
The Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops Folding Knife is well-built and super versatile, and once you get one, you’ll find all kinds of ways to use it. Just make sure you buy yours while it's 53% off—these knives are going fast (over 10,000 were sold just last month), and it's unclear how long the sale will last.
