Handy Trail Knife.

By Shane O'Donnell Ranked #210 - Kayak Accessories April 29, 2009

I have this knife without serrations, and it is a handy little blade. I use it mostly if I need a knife for a day trip, or for around camp and it performs well. I have de-limbed small deadfall, and build shelters with just this knife, whittled, cooked, eaten with, pretty much anything you can think of. I found that the blade was tight at first, but after some oil and working it for a while, it flicks open almost as fast as an assisted opener. After this break in period I found that the blade became less stable laterally, causing play when working it hard. Left and right thumb studs are handy if you need to use your other hand, or are a lefty like me, but the left stud is obscured behind the pocket clip, making it a little more difficult. The low weight is nice to have, making it a barely noticeable addition to your pack. Not the best knife around, but all in all a very nice one that handles well.
