Cons: None
Right size work knife
Have had this knife for a little over a week now. The workmanship is great. Flips out flash quick with little noise It was sharp out of the box a quick strop (as previously mentioned) evened it up and it is performing beautifully The satin finish is even and quite attractive, flat ground down to the edge boxes, the steel liners are skeletonized keeping it light and thin Packing bands, yard work all fall easily. It is a little bluer than the picture, I prefer a thong hole to pocket clips and it has that. D-2 while not one of the new hy-performance steels is also not expensive and holds up quite well as I have several other knives with this steel. A caution it can rust so a light coat of some of your favorite oil is advised. This knife is a great replacement for a Dozier (forgive my blasphemy) I've owned several of them and this is just a better knife even the new models that are D-2. Last I find the texture on the scales a nonissue matter of personal choice.

Like a glove
I recently bought this piece - my first Steel Will knife. It will not be my last! I carry this knife as my EDC and it is simply a fit everywhere ... in my hand, in my pocket, in dress clothes and even casual settings. I have actually used it extensively while camping. Solid build with good looks and smooth operation. Edge retention seems to be stellar as well.

I recently bought the Steel Will Cutjack mini. It was a great knife, but the blade shape wasn't quite right for me. When I saw the modified sheep's foot blade on the Modus mini, I knew I'd love it. Perfect small size & the D2 steel holds an edge really well. I have since bought a spare just in case I loose or damage the original. Both pocket clips became loose almost as soon as I started using them, but I took them of and added a little Loctite to the threads, and Haven't had another problem. All in all, I'd whole heatedly recommend this knife. Be warned; the handle is a bit small - not a problem for me, but you know your preferences.

I was not expecting what I got out of this knife, and it has made it's way into my EDC rotation. I've been carrying this knife on and off for 3 weeks now. I am always on the look out to add new flavor to my cheaper type EDC knives. That type of EDC to me is the knife that you like to carry, but isn't so expensive that if it grows legs at work it isn't too painful on the pocket book. The size is perfect for carrying at work, as it is small enough to not be aggressive looking, but big enough to tackle most any cutting jobs. I use it routinely to open packages and cut rubber gasket materials. I purchased 2 Steel Will knives, and the overall quality is very impressive for the money. I love D2 and sheepsfoot, so this little worker fills a lot of boxes for me. It was sharp out of the box. You could strop it a little if you wanted for that extra bit of hair popping sharp, but it is definitely not needed out of the box. The only gripe I could have is the texture on the handle is not as grippy as you would think from the picture. I use the knife wet quite frequently and have not had any issues holding onto the knife, but there's not a lot of texture to the pattern on the grip. There aren't any hot spots to my hands, and I can get a comfortable 3.5 finger grip which is great for most of your daily cutting tasks. If you're looking for a budget friendly EDC option that is ready to work and doesn't care about being glamorous, I don't think you can go wrong with this knife.

Absolute Winner Budget EDC
The other reviewers have pretty much summed it up. I've been carrying this pocket knife for a few months now and I just love it. Perfect blade shape and size for me. At this price, you can't lose. It would be awesome if they upgraded the blade steel and handle material in this knife for a more premium version.

Sharp lightweight flipper w/ great ergos
This was at first a disappointment because I thought I was getting a full-size Modus and I wanted the blackwash version in addition to the satin finish I already owned. However, this little sweetie quickly proved it's worth as a capable sub-3" knife and has become my Sunday carry. It has one of my favorite edc bladeshapes ever, having a fairly thin kerf and deep belly with an unsnappable tip that allows duties that range from slicing a peach to gapping a sparkplug. My only ding is for the handle material, I just don't like frn.
