Review: Great lightweight and small knife - I purchased this for a very specific reason: I go for trail runs and wanted a small lightweight knife for my pocket. I have been nervous about going into the woods without at least a small blade and means to make fire, so I wanted this as an "ultra light" survival kit. I have other "pen knives" that would not be much use in the woods; they can't do much beyond cutting tape. I also have larger folding knives (Spyderco, etc.), fixed-blade knives (Mora) and multi-tools (Leatherman) that are just too heavy for my pocket when running. This item fits the bill, especially for my specific needs. I should add that I was able to grind/file off the jimping on the spine and make a good ferro rod striker; I use it (knife closed) with a 2" x 1/4" small ferro rod, tied on with some shock cord. Between these two items I was able to easily make a feather stick from white pine and strike some natural tinder for a fire. No, it is not as good as my Mora, but it will do in a pinch, which is exactly what I needed. (Yes, I could use a mini bic butane lighter, but I just prefer a ferro rod, and having a knife is a plus!) The knife clocks in at 33 grams (1.2 ounces) on my food scale after my little grinding job, so the product description "rounds down" but I am not complaining. The entire blade was sharp when it arrived, and didn't even need to be touched up. The locking mechanism is solid, the action is smooth, and I think I could open it with one hand pinching the blade between two fingers, though I will probably always choose two hands for safety on this one! So this was the perfect knife for my needs. Obviously, your needs may be different!
Review: Daily carry pocket knife - Love this little knife. I have it in my pocket always. Very versatile, light weight and holds an edge.
