Review: Best tough EDC Knife. - This is the toughest and one of the lightest little EDC Knives you never thought you needed and I’m stoked I finally ordered one. I’ve used this little Beast for all sorts of cutting from the Kitchen to the Yard and it’s performed flawlessly and has kept a fantastic Edge. It’s comfortable in the pocket and I added a little Lanyard and you don’t even realize it’s there until you need to cut something. Buy it and you’ll Love it and wonder why it took you so long .
Review: Small overall size but great in hand, Excellent for most cutting needs - Pro's: The steel used is a well known, easy to sharpen, dependable type (AUS8A); it takes a great edge as well. The spine maintains its full 1/8" thickness for 1-7/8" of the 2-1/4" of the blade's overall length. The Wharncliff blade shape and 2" cutting edge length are simply excellent for the majority of everyday cutting tasks (opening bags, boxes, blister packs; cutting rope, cord, cardboard; peeling back and scraping up tape). Despite its modest size, the knife locks very well into my large hands; the overall open shape provides finger holds and conforms to the hand, providing a secure and focused grip for cutting. The oval cutout provides easy one-hand opening in either hand. The lanyard hole is an elongated oval, ample in size for Paracord. Concerns: For some, Cold Steel's ultra-strong TRIAD lock may be difficult to press fully to open the lock. Also, on mine, I noted a sharpness to the oval cutout thumbhole only on the right side, which would be a problem for opening one-handed with the left hand, but easily resolved with a typical small diamond-rod sharpener. Bottom Line: Great value for a combo working cutting tool / everyday pocket knife with a lock that will not fail you and a blade material and design that will get the job done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Piece of Kit
*by P***N on October 25, 2025*

This knife is solid, no loose pins anywhere. The Sheepsfoot blade was super sharp out of the box, and after heavy use the Aus8 steel easily sharpens to a great edge. For a work knife from the Farm to performing Electricians duties, this is perfect. Has the Left/Right pocket clip, and sits deep in the pocket. Very happy with the brown color, scale design, and how smooth it opens one handed. It's built like a tank, so putting torque on the blade for a deep cut is not a problem. Definitely super happy with this purchase.
