This was my first true EDC. I was a noob when I bought it, but it still holds a special place in my heart. Overall it is what it is..a decent lower level folder. It can get semi sharpe (isn't going to shave hair off your knuckles though, however it does not keep an edge well and you have to resharpen in often. You could do better, you could do worse. Not terrible for the price.

Don't fall for it.

For those who are first timers looking for a half decent knife, this is only disappoint you.

I rated the Overall as Below average in many aspects because this knife does not live up to what it needs to be able to do.

This knife has a "Frame" construction made of mysterious metal and a lock made from the same idea. This alone gives someone like me the red light. It is unsafe to use whether if you're cutting through a rock or paper.

The Ergonomics are also below average for the price, because it's thin-ness correlates to the price. The more metal they use, the higher it'll cost them to make. The handle thickness is the bare minimum on a knife.

The verdict is, buy a knife that is known for it's good Lockup, but it for the steel's edge holding ability instead of it's edge losing ability. There is no joke about a knife being a tool, and if it doesn't hold an edge, it's just not a good tool.
