CIMA Knife Table Top Review
This was originally published August 23rd, 2016. My CIMA knives continue to do extremely well today.

I ordered this CIMA fixed blade knife a couple months ago when it was on sale for less than $20 and was shipped free. I really wasn’t expecting much. This is Chinese-made and at that price point how good could it be? As usual, when ordering from GearBest a package was waiting for me when I arrived home approx 3 weeks later.

This review is going to be a short one and a true “table top” rather than “testing & evaluation”. I love this knife. I have not taken it out in the woods and feathered sticks, stabbed it into dead carcasses, or zombie eye sockets. No – it has remained in the box in mint condition. I have since ordered two more which at least one will come under regular use.

Here are a few specs:
- Blade Material: 7Cr17MOV stainless steel
- Hardness: 58 HRC
- Blade Length: Almost 3.5″
- Handle Length: 4.5″
- Overall: 8.5″
- Color: Black
- Handle Material: Flax/Linen
Quick Summary: This is a smaller knife that feels great in the hand. Balance is towards the handle which doesn’t lend well to batoning but let’s be realistic – the blade is less than 3.5″ long. Full tang thickness is 4.5mm which is acceptable for a knife this size. The sheath is great and the knife retainment is excellent via an audible “snap” when the knife is interested. No straps needed.

Check out the pictures below that will scroll across the screen. They are a combination of photo’s I took and ones used for advertisements.

Oh – did I mention that the CIMA fixed blade knife is a clone of the respected ESEE 3 which cost around $100? No? Well, it is and a very close clone at that.

Special sale on CIMA Knife

A quick note: The CIMA knife I did a table top review on has just been reduced in price for a limited time. As of this writing and it may change at any time the price is only $15.59 with Free Shipping. This is a crazy deal and I just ordered 4 myself.

If you remember from my review this is a copy of the very pricey ESEE 3 which cost around $100. A few have reported that the knife fits tight in the sheath which of the 3 I already has not been a problem. At $15.59 it is a bargain. Remember when ordering from GearBest shipping times can take around 3 weeks. It’s worth the wait.

Lastly – when I ordered I had to order 2 at a time rather than all 4 at once. Not sure why but there was an error when trying to do all 4 so I just divided it up into two separate orders.

Thanks and have a great weekend.
