What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Small, lightweight and sharp. For it's size it feels very sturdy and the blade came razor sharp out of the package, sharp enough to shave with.
I always believe a man should carry a small, sharp pocketknife just in case. I wear a large glove typically but this knife isn't too small to grip. Btw, my typical daily dress is office casual.
This knife replaces the one stolen by tsa. Handy for small jobs like opening mail or packages. Keep one in your pocket to open cartons, envelopes, etc.
The handle and lock system are solid and feel sturdy. Easy to open and close makes one handed operation a breeze. It fits on my keychain, is a bit big but worth it.
Cons
The opened blade has 1-5/8 of sharp edge.

The one i bought was a dollar or two more and i noticed along with another person that its specified surgical stainless steel however i dont think this is any different than the other listing thats a few dollars cheaper just so you know it appears to be the same exact knife for whatever its worth
