Kissing Crane Pocket Farmer Yellow Composite Pocket Knife

I got this knife about 5 years ago on BUDK for about 7 dollars. It compares similar to my 30 dollar Case Sodbuster and my 19 dollar Italian Antonini pocket farmer in performance. The steel is 440 A with a similar performance to the other two. I would say the craftsmanship is similar too. They all have there ups and downs in different categories. The only minor down which may have been corrected by now, is that the back spring hits the middle of the blade just barely causing it to ding the middle of the edge. After sharpening it for a while it is starting to correct itself though. All in all it is an easy to sharpen blade and the craftsmanship otherwise is good. It's a good Chinese budget knife. Glad I got it when it was dirt cheap.

Craftsmanship of the knife is top notch. The composite handle is better done than my 30 dollar CASE sodbuster (Better blade alignment too). The 440 stainless edge retention is decent; not quite as good as the CASE Sodbuster's Tru-sharp stainless steel. Everything considered I like it just as much as my CASE, and it gets the job done.

I like the simplicity and vintage style. The yellow is nice and harder to lose. Nice old school knife like your grandpa would have carried.

easy to carry and made well, very sharp right out of the box

I got this one in the orange; sharp and well made. Very light, easy carry knife. After purchasing this I’d try another Kissing Crane knife. Good value

This is a great knife at a great price. I've had and carried mine over a year and it's been perfect for everyday use. Would recommend.

I bought this exact same knife but in the orange case. I am very satisfied with it and knew it did not have a locking blade when I ordered it. That's okay with me. It is intended for just a light-duty carry pocket-knife. For that purpose it fits the bill just fine and price is great.

I bought a few of the sod busters to see how they lined up next to the Case sod buster I got for $32.00. I was impressed. I can use these at work without worrying about losing them. (I'm a trucker.) Very good quality.

Very pleased with this knife. Bought three to have one in each car and one in the pocket. On all three, the blade clicks into place well, the knife is extremely sharp, and it's built to last. Legal carry everywhere I go, including Boston and NYC. Highly recommended EDC gear.

I purchased the Kissing Crane knives for Christmas Gifts for the guys in my family and they were all very happy with them....I myself was impressed with the quality and looks of these knives. Will probably order from you again..

I purchased one of these knives, and was very impressed with the quality I purchased two more because I felt that for the price they was were an excellent knife. They would make great gifts, and do a good job doing ranch work. They are made in China, but I am sure they are produced with high quality standards which they reflect beautifully. FIVE STARS!

I am proud to own, not only this knife but I am proud that I have several Kissing Crane pocket knifes in my collection. -- The quality is excellent. Each and every knife and product I have ordered from BUD K are of the highest quality. The email specials, you will not beat them anywhere. -- THANKS BUD K

The whole series of knives are excellent. Good work knives that are handsome to boot. Well worth the money. I've got several with different colored handles,all are joy to look at and to work with.

I have several kissing crane knives that I have purchased in past The farmer knif is just super I purchased six to give as gifts to frends.I love kissing crane just A super knife.

I ordered a couple of the Pocket Farmer's (...one yellow and one blue...)and am very pleased with them. I have owned a similar knife from another company which costs about three times what the Pocket Farmer does. I would say, "Save your money and buy the Kissing Crane Pocket Farmer--no wait--buy two or three of them!"

Tight, all edges are well finished ~ they did this one right 5 stars *****

These are great knives for the price, I have purchased all 4 colors and think the pearl is the best. really pretty, I will buy more in the future

I recently took delivery of this blade. It is of excellent quality and sharp, for now, and for what it is, it is. It even comes with a "Certificate of Authenticity" that states that it is an actual Kissing Crane knife, the product of 175 years of quality German craftsmanship. On the base of the stainless-steel blade is a stamp: "Kissing Crane"; on the reverse there is another stamp that reads "Made in China". Great knife, but the fact remains: Germany and China are not even geographical "Kissing Cousins". What has this country come to? It will not surprise me anymore to find that even the new Harley Davidsons are produced in China. God Bless/Save America. Lord Sesshoumaru - ???

It came with a small chip out of one of the scales, on back, next to the liner. What the heck? Guess I'll know which one's mine. I like it other than that and a couple minor scratches.

Don't get me wrong - of the three Kissing Crane knives I've purchased, this is the best one, but it's still a Chinese made pocketknife. It's perfectly functional for skinning an apple or cutting thin rope, but the blade doesn't even lock. It's a good knife for kicking around, and if you lose it, you only be out $8, but I'm not sure what kind of guy would be "proud" to own, or collect, a relatively cheap Chinese folding pocketknife. That said, it's a perfectly functional pocketknife - you get what you paid for and that's OK too.
