Excellent Compact Utility Knife
Don't want to use your good knives for dirty work? This utility knife is great for cutting cardboard, cutting away paint and caulk, and scribing surfaces. This week alone I used it when caulking windows, scraping paint, loosening painted-on tractor parts, and scribing a hydraulic filter to see when it (at last) budged. The micarta scales are well shaped and provide a good grip.

Nice
HAs a really smooth and fast action. Incredibly easy to deploy and put away with one hand. The screws hold the blade securely. The micarta feels nice. The toothpick is oddly handy. The pocket clip is fairly cheap though it's my only downside for it. After a couple of weeks wearing it the finish on the pocket clip is already wearing away and it bent open very easily when I got snagged on something. It was easy to bend back though.
