While it might not be your first choice for durable outdoor gear, Amazon is a solid platform for everyday carry, and the retailer regularly offers great deals on pocket and folding knives from brands like Gerber, Kershaw, and more. Smith & Wesson knives are also among Amazon’s best-sellers, and right now one of its most compact yet sharpest knives is marked down to under $20.
The Smith & Wesson Benji Folding Keychain Knife is now on sale for $17, a 33% discount off its regular price of $26. This smaller, lighter folding knife has received nearly 1,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it’s “exceptionally good” and is currently a top 20 best-seller in its category. The Benji is one of the brand’s most popular knives, but if that’s too small, there’s also an extended version on sale for the same price.

This knife is designed for maximum portability, making it incredibly handy; it’s always there when you need it. The 1.75-inch blade is made of high-carbon stainless steel for optimum durability and sharpness, and a frame lock keeps the knife in place while you’re using it. There’s a clip on one side of the handle so you can slip the knife into a pocket (or use it as a money clip), and there’s also a built-in bottle opener with a hole for attaching the knife to a keychain. The entire package is just 2.5 inches long and weighs 2.72 ounces; when you’re not using it, you’ll probably forget you’re carrying it.
The Benji impressed Amazon reviewers with its compact size and top-notch build quality. One customer said it had an “unbeatable price-to-performance ratio,” “opens and closes smoothly,” and “cuts perfectly for a variety of tasks.” Another customer called it “small but mighty” and said it was “a good pocket knife when you really want something small.”

“Probably my favorite knife I own,” said another reviewer. “The build quality and overall effectiveness are excellent.”
The Smith & Wesson Benji gives you unmatched cutting power in a convenient, easy-to-carry package, and you’re less likely to lose it because you can clip it to your keychain. At just $17, this super-useful knife is a great deal, but make sure you get yours today because a discount this deep won’t last long.
