    Excellent Quality Knife

    posted by Nico1970 on 03/27/2008 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Excellent quality. Nice and smooth one-handed opening mechanism. Very good lock - keeps the blade tightly held in place. Good handle with fine detailing. Has a black serrated 'tanto' blade made of 440C steel with aluminium handle.
    Cons:
    Not REALLY that sharp. Haven't tried to sharpen it yet but should sharpen OK.

    Cheap 'n' Cheerful

    posted by Nico1970 on 03/27/2008 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    Can be used to clean glasses, stainless steel, screens etc. Good at removing fingerprints, grease etc..
    Cons:
    Build quality not great. They don't look as if they'll last too long - they aren't stitched around the edges so may fray easily.
