Overview

The Pacific S5 is priced at $8.75 and carries a 4.7-star rating across 3,773 reviews, tying for the highest recent demand in this batch at about 1,000 units bought last month.

The listed specs show a metal material with a handle described as plastic, metal, and steel. The listing also states a 15.9-inch length and an 11-gram weight, a combination that doesn't add up for a single handheld utility knife, so treat those two figures with caution.

Set the size question aside and the underlying demand and rating are strong for a knife at this price.
