Great little knife!
By Michael Eckhardt
I purchased this for my wife (of 25 years), who’d never carried a knife before and she loves it. I was amazed how pleased she was with it. She now carries it daily and tells me how awful it is and how she now wouldn’t do without it, specially at work (IT office).

great for women, too
By Jess Wundring
Except when I take a trip out of town (and the only way to get out of town here is to fly), this knife has been clipped to the inside of my pocket (jeans, usually) since I got it. It was a present that I didn’t genuinely want and didn’t think I’d need (I had asked for a pair of scissors) but wow, I find uses for it all the time and would replace it in a heartbeat. Its discreet, doesn’t take up much room, yet “feels right” when it is in my hand, and slices through things with ease. Cutting things has become a pleasure.

Obviously, I already knew I liked it but a friend, who I found out makes knives as one of his hobbies, used it this past 4th of July to cut up vegetables at a party, and he commented on what a nice tool it was, too. The tactical black on my knife has softened into a matte black from all the wear it is gotten, but I’m pretty hard on tools in general. I unquestionably don’t coddle them in any way.

I got it just with regards to a year ago, a gift from my husband. He’s so great.
