Total Spent: £27.00| Rating: 8
Strengths:
Non Slip Grip, Blade cannot close on your hand
Weaknesses:
Blade could hold it's edge slightly better
This blade is very sharp and holds its edge reasonably well, but can blunt if using it to carve harder woods.
The plastic-rubbery grip is good to hold, and feels reassuring in your hand.
The lock is very good and the blade has no wobbles.
It is available as a straight blade and as a semi-serrated blade.
oh and have I mentioned the lifetime warranty!!
I think that for under £30 there aren't many folding knives that can beat it.
If you are looking at an Opinel knife, then consider this...

Strengths:
Lightweight, good lock action, belt sheaf.
Weaknesses:
None at this price
I've had this knife for about six years but don't use it regulary prefering my Frosts carbon steel fixed blade that can be honed to a razor sharp edge.
