I have one. Don't expect to use it as an EDC but it is a solid and useful backup knife. Very sharp, but don't expect the blade to last long.
I just recommend not using a lot of force with it. I can picture the blade snapping off at the plastic welds and slicing you up.
Mine arrived last week for less than 3 bucks. It's mostly a novelty item/ last option type of blade. Those complaining about it are sort of idiots in my opinion. If you want a real, useful, inexpensive knife, go spend $12 on a Kershaw half-ton. If you want a last ditch something sharp that can fit in your wallet, buy this.
It's an AOW! Don't forget your tax stamp!

This credit card knife is a poor imitation of Ian Sinclairs Cardsharp. The Cardsharp goes for a lot more money.
One of the pictures shows the Ian Sinclair name on this one. Also... if you actually read the reviews on Amazon, there are half a dozen reviews stating that they received the actual Ian Sinclair CardSharp2.
The CardSharp2 is being sold on Iansinclair.com for the equivalent of $8 US, so I don't think this is completely unbelievable. Do you actually do any research before steering people away from a decent deal?
I remember when Sinclair's came out and they wanted $30 for it. Much more inclined to give it a try at this price point.
Update: Received 3 of these on a relatively fast boat from China... 2 weeks. Definitely an emergency, last-resort type blade.
PROS:
- Under $2.00
- Size of a credit card and about 1.5 times as thick for easy wallet carry
- Cool novelty item
- Sharpens to a half decent edge as displayed when it sunk a 1/4 inch into my finger while sharpening the one I gave to my nephew
CONS:
- No legitimate cons for under two bucks but...
- Once folded open... it never really returns to truly flat
- Plastic is likely good for around 20 or 30 folding/unfolding cycles before I'll wager it is going to crack along a seam
- Thin plastic does not make for a study handle
- Dull as hell out of the box
- You will probably forget you have it in your wallet and get it confiscated by TSA when you fly somewhere
I'd like to see one that's carbon fiber instead of stainless steel.
I have one of these. The cheap price and general curiosity got the best of me. In my opinion they are stupid and I really have little found little to no use for it. Takes forever to open and they don't really snap together very well. Might be nice to have if you need a knife to open something or cut a rope randomly since you can put it in your wallet and forget about it.... However, I wonder how many people tuck them away in a wallet and forget about them until they are passing through airport security and security remembers it for them?
