Great utility pocket knife
It's a great knife for a 6 year old to learn how to use properly, and it's handy in the kitchen for a 60 year old. From opening up deer, to your next eBay/Amazon order, this seems to be a good all around pocket knife. While it lacks the modern opening/locking of current production knives, properly maintained, this can outwork them. Few have the drop point hollow ground profile in a folder, with a strong lock generations before depended on. I love the 5160 steel in this profile, I feel it's easy to get a scary sharp edge, and one that's there after a days task. 420 can get sharp, but it doesn't last. I remember making money of a friend who filled his tags, and his 420 110 was used on everyone of them. I know, I cleaned the guts off and sharpened it after each time. Each time I got it, was dull as a pizza cutter. I dressed deer with a 5160 blade 112, and mine was sharp after I was done. I could open mail, a bag of dog food, then go out for steaks, and use it when the cutlery starts to suck(1 I washed it after the hunt, and 2 every guy knows what I'm talking about at the steak house). You don't need high speed diamond stones(they help, but it's over kill), a good hone and polish strops do a fine job. It reminds me of a certain brand's Carbon V, that was big a few decades ago.
