Perfect for it's designed purpose
I have had one of these for over 10 years now as a sailing knife. Let me just say this. This is not a premium folder with bearings or any special materials. It is a very simple folder with lightweight frame and scales. Whist the blade might not be a particular hard steel, it's easy to sharpen and being serrated, doesn't actually require much care. It lives in my buoyancy aid and has been left wet and then forgotten for over a year, No rust! Its light, it's bright and with a Cork tied on it floats! Its designed to cut rope, not trees so if you use it for its intended purpose it's fantastic!
