Excellent EDC work knife with serious slicing power
I am extremely impressed with this little guy after carrying it around in an urban environment for a few days. The blade came sharp enough to slice paper and it has effortlessly dispatched everything else I came across (cardboard, plastic, twine), with only some light touch-up sharpening. Having such a thick and "stout" blade makes a difference, the weight really helps push through. Seems like it would be good for scoring.
The slipjoint mechanism is very solid and feels quite secure. I don't think there's a serious practical risk of the blade snapping back: it is too short to be used for especially gnarly work, and sufficiently heavy that it won't get knocked around. But good to keep it nice and sharp. I am not able to open this knife one-handed but that is fine.
I have a handful of sheepsfoot/etc. flippers and folders for EDC. This one might be the best at slicing, even if opening/closing is little clumsy compared to a flipper.
