Bfonder Button Lock Review: Amazon’s $10 Budget Surprise
Bfonder Button Lock Review: Amazon’s $10 Budget Surprise
Today I'm reviewing the Bfonder button lock folding knife - another find from our good friend John Emerson who picked this one up on Amazon for under $10. At that price point, I wasn't expecting too much, but this is actually a nice little knife that delivers solid value for the money.
This budget blade features steel scales and a deep hollow ground 440C steel blade - a steel we've seen some great test results from with a few recent knives on the channel. The detent is just a tad on the soft side (I know there’s no detention ball, but you know what I mean). The action is good and the button lock is well executed, making it rock solid while still being drop-shut smooth. Overall, this would make a great budget EDC choice or even a solid medium-duty work knife that can take plenty of abuse throughout the week and strop back easily when you're done. Special thanks again to John for sending this budget gem our way!
