The idea was good, but the execution is crap. It's easier to cut something with a fingernail, and sharpening it to a smaller angle doesn't help. It's more of a gadget, because the practical usefulness of such a blade doesn't exist. Improve the build quality, change the materials, and maybe it could actually cut a piece of string. It's unlikely this will be the only blade you take with you, and I doubt you'd choose this knife for work if you have a sharper, more comfortable, and more practical alternative in your pocket. Better to spend money on another gadget or knife.

Uncomfortable, not very handy, and the blade is rather dull. Works as a keychain or pendant, but not great for frequent use. The price matches the quality but it's nothing special.
-
I bought it only because it was cheap. The blade, unlike in the picture, does not have a serrated edge. The knife is quite dull. I haven't tried sharpening it yet, but with this size and shape of the blade, it may be difficult. The knife is suitable for opening boxes, and let's be honest, at this price you can't expect more, so 5 stars despite some flaws.
-
Small, light, and handy, I highly recommend it.
-
Small pocketknife.
-
Terrible product. The idea for creating it is understandable, but the execution is unacceptable. The blade is dull and not comfortable. The plastic on the casing is poorly molded and does not provide a good hold for the knife in the sheath or in the loop for straps. As a gadget it might do, but I advise investing in something like a Gerber Key Note.

4.5 / 5 - small but efficient. The case is a bit tight and doesn't want to snap onto the molle strap, but once it's secured, there's no way you'll lose it. Worth it as a backup to your backup or as a neck knife. The knife is small but might surprise you with its usefulness.
-
A small, nice gadget, attached to the backpack strap, will surely come in handy someday.
-
A small gadget rather than a knife... useful for working with cartons, packing tape, i.e. with packages, etc... a small minus for the string :)
-
Small gadget, unfortunately the sheath dulls the blade, workmanship is a 5, usefulness rather a 3.
-
It's useful, fits in a pocket. It serves its purpose when you don't need a huge scythe, but rather something small and sharp.
-
The knife is perfect for opening packages or as a super small EDC, I recommend it.
-
Great little knife
-
Very comfortable and useful thing. For this price, it's perfect. I recommend it.
-
Cool little knife, perfect for the pocket to cut something or for minimalist EDC.
