Neat little blade, came in a leather etui. Single bevel grind, very dull edge especially comparing to Bökers (all mine came shaving sharp), even duller than a Opinel or SAK. Gonna re-bevel it this weekend with the Sharpmaker. The tip is VERY VERY blunt. The blade is placed at 45 degrees in relation to the square handle. The benefit is minimize the chance of cutting your fingers while unfolding the blade. The pivots aren't super duper smooth, even after oiling. It's possible to open and close it with one hand, but not as easy as a Balisong Detail of finish is acceptable for the price. The ergonomics surpass the Emerson. After closer inspection Iīve decided not to reprofile the blade, for itīs too thick and too narrow for itīs own size. If I reprofile it to 35 degrees, it would look like a scalper, which isnīt very handy for the purposes I intend to use it. The steel is 440C, havenīt do any test on the steel, but my guts are telling me itīs about 56/57 RC.
I'm gonna keep this in my pocket next to the coins, as a "gentleman's knife". Its appearance (to the sheeple) is not intimidating, perhaps even cute

| That is a very discreet small knife. I bet it wouldn't look out of place clipped to a top pocket. Some things are best hidden in plain sight. |
