The blade on this style knife is great with plenty of uses. This folding pocket knife uses D2 steel and has a G10 handle. The steel will hold an awesome edge but still easy enough to sharpen when needed. It is a great size for an EDC and the pocket clip is sturdy. The flipper works well and is easy to open one handed, the sound it makes when it locks into place lets you know that this is a quality knife and made with precision.
