Anyone use one, if so what are your opinions? I really like the belt cutter/screwdriver.

However, I have heard that they don't hold an edge very well (is this true?). What is the hardness of the steel?

Also do they make a deputy with the Titanium coating? If so is it worth the extra price?
 
Josh, I have a Buck crosslock and don't really care for it.On the job ( firefighter) I keep it in my turnout goods basically as a don't care if I lose it or break it knife,while a Spyderco or Benchmade is clipped to my pants and sees much more use.The Buck will fail a spine wack test against the palm of my hand every time, the handle is way oversized for the blade (some may like this I don't)and the handle feels well just kind of cheap.I like the second screwdriver, seat belt blade because this gives you a blade to pry,poke and scrape with while saving your cutting blade for well cutting.An ok knife if you get it at a good price and realize your not getting a Spyderco peer.
