Almost returned, after 1 year I'm so glad I didn't
The knife wasn't sharp out of the box and didn't cut well at all. I debated on returning it. and instead I took a leap of faith and put a 17 degree edge on it. It isn't great at breaking down cardboard boxes, but it's fantastic at everything else. I've done food prep, yard work and for the size, it actually fits in you pockets well. I have many Demkos (AD20S both 20CV and Magnacut factory edges) and a Hinderer XM-24 but unlike them at a 17 degree angle, I haven't had any blade rolling or chipping. The heat treatment seems to be top notch and it stayed sharp longer than I anticipated. Also the grip is fits my 2XL glove hands perfectly and securely. It's constantly in my rotation and the only tiny almost insignificant grip I have is the PVD coating seems to create a little extra friction. For the money and a 4 inch blade, this is a BARGAIN! It's definitely Spartan as it is bare bones, doesn't have a fancy lock or run on bearings, but if I needed to rely on one folder to survive with, this might be the one.
