I use this format for my reviews:
For Folders
Introduction: Model name and model number; country of origin; price; weight; any possible counterparts; and its intended purpose.
The Handle: Materials of the handle scales and liners; texture; color and markings; locking mechanism (application, location, thickness, lock-up, etc.); how it feels in hand; construction (Torx, screw, solid FRN, etc.); pocket clip (color, design, location, fit, etc.); other miscellaneous features (open back design, jimping, choil, lanyard hole, pillar construction, etc.)
The Blade: Length (both the overall length and the length of the cutting edge); thickness; shape (clip point, tanto, drop point, wharncliff, etc.); steel used with heat treat information; any markings or coatings; opening mechanism (nail nick, thumb hole, disc, stud, etc); jimping or other useful features.
Conclusion: My overall impressions of the knife, especially to consider the cost and usability.
For Fixed Blades
The Handle: Materials of the handle scales and bolsters; texture; color and markings; tang design (fully exposed tang, full tang, skeletonized, etc.); how it feels in hand; construction (Torx, screw, solid, pinned, etc.); other miscellaneous features (jimping, choil, etc)
The Blade: Length (both the overall length and the length of the cutting edge); thickness; shape (clip point, tanto, drop point, wharncliff, etc.); steel used with heat treat information; any markings or coatings; overall construction; jimping or other useful features.
The Sheath: Materials used; length empty and with knife inserted; fastening feature (snap, Velcro, Kydex, etc.); belt attachment options (loop, fold-over clip, Tek Lok, etc.); retention.
