Pocket knives aren't just cool everyday carry accessories – they're extremely useful for hundreds of applications. The best part is that you don't have to spend a fortune to make a good purchase, at least not when you buy pocket knives from Amazon's deals. Last month was full of discounts on top models from Kershaw and even Gerber, but now one of Smith & Wesson's best-selling models has dropped for less than the cost of lunch.
The Smith & Wesson SW1101 Stainless Steel Folding Knife is available on Amazon for just $12, a 51% discount from its regular price of $25. This rugged and sharp folding blade is one of Amazon's top 10 best-selling tactical knives, and reviewers love its versatility, with one customer even calling it “the perfect tool for everything from hunting and camping to surviving the zombie apocalypse.”

When you need a well-built, reliable knife, you can count on Smith & Wesson to deliver. Measuring just 6.89 inches and weighing 4.4 ounces, it's compact and easy to carry, and a built-in lanyard slot and pocket clip allow you to attach it to a pack or belt. The rubberized and textured aluminum grip provides a firm grip and hides the chunky three-inch stainless steel blade, which is black oxide coated for superior durability. The blade features ambidextrous thumb buttons for quick deployment whether you're left- or right-handed, and the insert lock keeps the blade stable during use.
Customers who use this pocket knife say it is one of the best values. “This is a good quality everyday carry (EDC) knife,” said one customer. “Well made and the blade is perfectly centered on the frame.” Another customer agreed, calling it “a great all-around knife, especially for the price.”

Others rave about the quality construction of this knife. “I love this knife,” exclaimed one customer. “I've used it for years…maybe the best knife I've ever had! None of the screws are loose and neither is the pocket clip. The clip is still super tight and hard to pull out of the pocket.”
Thanks to its rugged design and everyday practicality, the Smith & Wesson SW1101 has risen to best-selling status on the leaderboards – it's a knife you'll use in all kinds of situations. It's already on sale at its regular price of $25, but it's more than half off to $12 – a truly unbeatable deal. Get yours today before the discount is gone.
