Great little EDC for everyday slicing

I like a short sheepsfoot blade for work/utility EDC and this is a very good one. I love the blade profile - it's very cool while still being clearly a work/utility knife.

This was (I think) my first knife with AUS-10A - it was modestly sharp out of the box and didn't take much work to get it up to snuff. It held an edge well after a lot of old cardboard and cleans up easily. The finish looks nice but patinas quickly - probably just "growing pains." Overall I'm happy with the steel.

It's also comfortable to use: the handle shape and material is nice, and the choil is prominent, with deep ridges for grip. It's a good knife for careful work.

The flipping action is great after oiling the spring a bit, initially it was stiff. Some hands might be too large to safely close this one-handed.

I will go ahead and get the more expensive Shark with CPM steel. But this cheaper Nano Shark is very much worth grabbing.

Excellent little EDC

It's good to have a knife that is visibly not a weapon. This has become one of my two EDC knives, along with a Victorinox Trekker (serrated blade).

It's a handsome little thing that gets the job done. It wasn't especially sharp but it's AUS-10 and I don't use this for anything heavy duty. I gave it a quick touch-up and it has been perfectly fine for the tape and cardboard, etc. I typically use it on. It's a good utility knife. The handle isn't anything to write home about, but the knife is stable and easy to control. It also looks quite nice: the blade has a nice profile and the stonewashed finish is great. The build seems pretty robust.

I docked a star for a minor comfort thing: the thumb slider for the locking mechanism wears on you pretty quickly. The corner is a little too sharp, and sometimes it even digs into your palm when using the knife. But it's really only a major issue when you're flipping it, and it is really not intended to be a flipper.
