As others have noted, Kershaw chose AUS 6 steel for the blade. This is a very good, modern stainless, and performs well. It also contributes to the Oso Sweet's low price. However, it results in a blade with only fair edge-holding and strength. The Oso sweet is light and very comfortable in the hand. The assited opening makes it easy to deploy with either hand. Oso's blade geometry is excellent (as you would expect from him). All in all, this is a very good economy pocket knife for light to moderate use. It allows the knife lover on a budget to enjoy the design genius of one of the best knife makers around at a price that is easy to afford. It is well assembled and reliable. Just be prepared to sharpen it more often than some other knives.

For a sub $20 knife, you can't go wrong.
Black injection-molded glass-filled nylon handle provides moderate grip and durability.
AUS6A steel is decent, nothing for hard use, but not to bad for light duty cutting, it gets razor sharp but doesn't hold it as fast as higher grade steel, which is a given.
Speedsafe works flawlessly.
Flipper deployment offers quick and easy opening.
Linerlocker locks up tight, but there is some bladeplay.
Polished pocketclip holds well and looks pretty decent in pocket.
Disassembly and cleaning is fairly easy with torx screws.
Pretty decent knife for the price point!
