A knife that doesn't rust - had to have one.
As I carry a knife everywhere, I needed something that I could swim with. After 2 years in the water, not a speck of rust is to be found. Amazing.

I picked this knife up used at a great price and didn't expect much. It is light, slim, and fits my hand nicely.
The blade shape gives a lot of useful cutting edge and the handle feels really nice when using it for all tasks, large and small.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get a good edge on it.
A few minutes on the stones gave me a razor.
I was worried that it wouldn't hold the edge. It holds pretty well, about like a well heat treated 440C.

The only thing I don't like about this knife is that the pool water has left a white deposit in the recesses of the handle that I can't get out and I can't take it apart because it is riveted together.

I bought this knife for my father-in-law, long time inshore fisherman, he has been using Queen steel twin blade slip joint for his poket knife for years. I though i could get him something better, needless to say he did not like the non-tradional shape and would not even try it. fine, i carried it at work (Haz-Mat) nice blade bright color not easy to loose, but the poket clip sucks, the light plastic handel material will allow clip movement and this material will break out leaving you with a less than secure clip. still in all great knife for the money.

I just picked up one of these via an auction site for a very affordable price. The blade was as sharp as any knife could be out of the box. The knife is very light and feels like a slightly shorter Delica 4, actually. The FRN handle has no stainless liners, and this helps keep the weight down. In addition, the knife is alleged to be rustproof, with "H-1" steel and rustproof hardware. I like the idea of this but I have yet to test it via really wet usage (and I can't wait to do so). The knife is probably very well built its light weight and non-lined handle make it feel somewhat less than substantial. This is probably just perception and I anticipate this being a very fine knife for me.
