Cons: None

Pretty darn close!

Fit and finish is excellent. Both blades sharp out of the box. No daylight showing. Walk and talk on penknife very good. The only weak points: Sheep’s foot blade rests a little right of center but firmly, no rubbing. At halfway position there’s quite a bit of play/wobble up and down. Wish there was more tension in the walk especially moving in and out of half position, ditto into cutting position but it’s on the low side of acceptable. Because of that alone I’d do 3 1/2 stars if I could. For the price point, though, it’s good; it’s in my carry rotation.

Addendum to review.

Addendum to my recently submitted review, I’ll retract the last reduction of the rating from 4 to 3 1/2 stars— it’s feeling like a good solid 4.
