Companion

I love the size and shape of my new Christy Companion knife, but had great difficulty opening it, both the first time and thereafter. Nothing packed with the knife explained that you must push the button from top to bottom, rather than inward to release the catch and allow the blade to move. To discover that, I had to go back to the Christy website, in which a drawing included a downward-pointing arrow above the button.

Worse, even knowing how to operate the button, doing so remained difficult, and almost immediately resulted in my accidentally stabbing one of my fingers. A week later, that is still healing. At that point, I decided the Christy knife, however clever and compact, was too difficult and dangerous for me to use, and tossed it in my tool drawer, replacing it with my previous 2 inch Victorinox Swiss Army Classic Pocket Knife and a small box cutter from Exceed Designs, both of which I've carried for many years with never any similar problem.

Have been carrying a Christy all my life… an excellent product!

I have always wanted your knife and I am so glad I bought one.

I keep my Christy knife on my keys, just like my grandfather used to do. He got his Christy during WW2 and had it for 50 years. He said the paratroopers used them to cut their straps if they got stuck in a tree. I use mine for everything, since I work outdoors, I always need to open boxes or cut through something. It always comes in handy.

This is an excellent knife. Customer support is unparalleled. My first Christy I found on the ground; some very unfortunate person dropped it to my great fortune. I ordered a replacement blade and I have been a fan ever since. I give them as Christmas and Birthday presents.
Thank you for maintaining a great company and family tradition. Made in the USA still.
This is my true, heart felt review of your great product and company. Thank you.
