TONIFE Nova Knife

I have a lot of knives but have been in search of a small, sleek fixed blade for everyday carry that I’m happy with. This knife fits the bill. I have big hands and this is a small knife but it’s designed so well that it’s still a nice fit enough to be practical. I don’t want a huge knife that fits my perfectly, I wanted something that was easy to conceal and heavily enough built to use for anything I need it for. As for the steel some say it’s not the greatest which I beg to differ. Most people don’t truly know anything about steel other than what they’ve heard or read online. This knife is fairly sharp out of the box and if you are good at sharpening a knife and keeping your knives sharp this is a great steel. Sharpens pretty easy and makes a great edge. Sheath versatility makes it perfect to carry how you want. You can’t go wrong with this knife for the money and I just might buy another just to keep in my truck.

3/8/25 is the day I took these photos and made this review ,saying that my item looks like new,build quality good 👍🏾 my blade is still tight and secure when holstered ,few options to wear on your person,boot,belt loop,around your neck,pocket,etc. mines 2 years old and I have no regrets.

If it was larger it would not be well suited to be worn around the neck. I wear it very often under my shirt in high humidity and salt air. The steel is holding up remarkably well. It takes an edge easily enough and seems to hold well. The extra slim profile makes it comfortable to wear under your shirt. The click retention is perfect. If you get one and it's not holding the knife well, exchange it. Mine is perfect. I have no complaints since I was looking for a knife this size. (8 Month update): I've been wearing this knife with my card holder/wallet everywhere for 8 months. I live in costal Florida and wear it while fishing 2-3 days a week. It has held up remarkably well with very little maintenace or care. I am most impressed with its corrosion resistance. I just re-edged the knife, it had developed a few knicks in the edge. It has stayed servicabley sharp with a few honing passes on a knife steel from time to time, but I use it constantly for everything so the edge needed to be redone. It looks like new now. Truely it's the perfect size for a knife that you can actually wear ever single day, which is nice since I'm wearing swim trunks so often, and you really don't want to take a folding knife to the beach for so many obvious reasons.

I really like this knife. I have been carrying a mini Kershaw folder for 16 years, and I have generally always purchased folding knives for EDC but specific for utility needs. I was shopping for a small fixed blade not only for EDC but specific for self-defense. I have medium to large hands and I can easily get a firm purchase on the handle with three fingers, the little finger resting comfortably near the butt end, and the thumb naturally indexes to the jimping on the handle or further to the jimping on the back of the blade. I would rate this knife 5 stars if I had any other small fixed blade to compare it to. The blade steel is of good quality and the edge is razor sharp out of the box. I imagine edge retention and sharpening is comparable to other similar blade steel. I rate the sheath a 3. Nothing special but it is adequate for its stated carry options. The knife locks firmly in place and I have yet to jostle it loose. I feel comfortable carrying it on the hip or 11 o’clock position. The knife can be easily removed one-handed by placing the thumb against the Kydex sheath and with a firm grip on the handle use the thumb to “pop” the knife free and ready for immediate use. Otherwise, it’s a two-handed operation to remove the knife while carrying on the hip. With slight manufacturer modification to the Kydex sheath 4-5 mm of material could be added to the sheath’s back edge, another grommet added, and the sheath could be configured for horizontal carry on the belt. If it were that today I would rate the knife and the sheath a solid 5 stars. I am left handed and desire to horizontal carry at the 2 o’clock position. As stated above my use for this knife is strictly for self-defense purposes, easily worn (and concealed), and 100% legal in KY to carry it this way. For the purpose I’ve state I recommend this knife. A great value for the money. I shopped several dozen small fixed blades knives and this is the one I chose.

Very sharp, and very easy to carry. I love the holster. I did find that the holster held the knife a little too well, so I used a heat gun to loosen it a little bit.

Super sharp knife light weight and good quality sheath recommend 100%

Great knife for EDC it is one of my EDC and anyone that knows it's better to have it on you and not need it than need it and not have it on you. I did switch out the clip for an ultra clip witch works great with this product.. would definitely get another one ...

Pocket clip isn’t the strongest but if you know how to properly deploy the knife, you will be fine overall great knife, great blade and well-made

Precis som titeln antyder så får du det du betalar för. Jag betalade runt 200 kr för kniven och den är riktigt fin för det priset. Dubbla priset så halveras betyget genast. Passar perfekt som liten EDC kniv i väskan och går utsökt att matpreppa på när man är ute i skogen. Väger knappt något och handtaget är rätt så ok, trots att kniven är liten. Skålslipningen gör att den går att få ruskigt vass med lätthet, men den levererades dessutom rakbladsvass redan från början. Jag misstänker att TONIFE inte har bästa kvalitetskontrollen, vilket gör att om man jämför 10 st så varierar nog kvalitén mellan dessa. Men har du tur får du en riktigt fin kniv för lite pengar.

Me ha dejado boquiabierto. Cuchillo que compré recientemente después de que me saliese por casualidad recomendado en Amazon y me llamase muchísimo la atención su diseño y su funda de Kydex, funda que por cierto le va como anillo al dedo. El cuchillo es de firma china y está fabricado en hoja enteriza, mango de polímero y funda kidex acompañada de cordón paracord. Decir que el cuchillo tiene una longitud total de 16cm, con una hoja de 7 cm y un peso de 50g, siendo el metal de acero inoxidable de muy buena calidad y dureza que retiene muy bien el filo después de haberlo utilizado en diferentes ámbitos de la supervivencia como corte de fruta y alimentos y también para el corte de pequeña jamás creando palillos o pinchos. Su reducido tamaño lo convierte en un elemento esencial y muy útil en acampadas ya que lo utilizaremos prácticamente para todas las funciones esenciales, es cierto que no podemos usar en algunas tareas como la apertura de ramas o el despiece de animales o pecados, pero sí para todo lo demás. Me ha dejado muy impresionado lo bien que se comporta, filo espectacular, con muy buena retención, muy robusto y aunque tenga un mango muy estrecho casi como el de una navaja su ergonomía pequeña estría en la parte superior de la cuchilla y si ondulación en la parte interior del mango lo convierte en un cuchillo muy fácil de agarrar o sujetar a la hora de hacer fuerza. El único punto negativo que puede contarle es que su funda de kydex sujeta de forma muy eficaz el cuchillo y cuando este lo llevamos en el cinto y queremos sacarlo, la pinza de enganche se abre y terminamos sacandola del mismo. En mi caso he hecho una pequeña modificación doblando la punta de dicha pinza para que haga tope y no se salga del cinto. En definitiva un cuchillo que me ha encantado y que podemos comprar con diferentes colores tanto de mango como de hoja. Yo he optado por la hoja en acero y mango en color arena porque me parece un diseño muy acertado y que me llamaba mucho la atención.

Idealny mały fix blade. Dokładnie czegoś takiego szukałem. Mały dobrze leży w ręce.
