REVIEW – If you need an itsy bitsy teeny weeny EDC knife for your fifth pocket in your jeans, the Tops Home Store Titanium Knife might be the one for you, especially if you want to spend less than $10. Let’s check it out.

What’s included?
- Tops Home Store Titanium Knife
- Split ring
Design and features
The Tops Home Store Titanium Knife is only 1.625 inches long and is shaped like a comma.
The frame of the knife is made of titanium and has an open filigree type of design.
Although the frame is open and you can see the blade, you won’t cut yourself when the knife is closed.
I can’t say the same about when the knife is opened, though, because the little blade is wicked sharp! A slot in the blade helps to open it.
The knife’s shape provides some grip, but due to its overall size, it doesn’t help very much.
For safety, the blade locks securely in place when the blade is closed or open. Looking at the image above, you can see the little ball bearings that act like a lock.
The opening and closing action is easy, and it has a satisfying click. You have to be careful because the blade is sharp, and it’s easy to get your fingers in the way.

Final thoughts
Is the Tops Home Store Titanium Knife the best EDC knife I’ve ever tried? Ummmmm, no. Not even close. But it is tiny and might be useful as an emergency knife when you need to cut something and don’t have a larger, easier-to-handle knife. Is it worth $8.99? In my opinion, I think a better price would be $5.00 for this knife.
Price: $8.99
Where to buy: Amazon

I agree, Julie, that a $5 price would be better. And maybe include an E.R. coupon too!
