Digging the Al Mar Eagle Ultralight... :thumbup:

This is bigger than I usually carry but fits so well in the pocket due to the clip, I really like this!

It's an Enlan EL-02. Chinese made knife with Micarta handles, axis lock, 8cr13mov steel and dual steel liners. Ambidextrous thumbstuds as well.
It's one of my larger folders (3.46" blade length, total opened length of 8.26") at the moment and in my humble opinion, hard to beat at that price range. I've got quite some knives with 8cr13mov steel and that's pretty much because I dig it. It gets crazy sharp, is fairly rust resistant (but then again, I never had any knife rust in my drawers nor outdoors because I take care of them), holds a working edge relatively well AND is very easy to sharpen. My personal favourite steel after VG-10. Personally, I dig it more than, f.e. s30v because ease of sharpening is more important than edge holding to me.
The knife is quite heavy thoug, comes in at about 145 grams (5.11 oz).

The micarta feels really good, the axis lock is quite stiff out of the box and needs some time to loosen up (one week or so of playing with the knife). As I said, for my needs the steel performs very well and the weight makes it a good garden/outdoor knife. Cuts up steak like it's nothing, as well.

Added the lanyard myself though. You can find the knife online, somewhere between 12 and 20 dollars (which is a real bargain for what you get).

There is another version with G10 scales and a stonewashed blade (EL-02B).

Look up some info on the web, be persuaded and get one. You won't regret it at all.

Cool looking micrata handle, easy and safe axis lock, Sebbie style blade
No problems with weight and steel to me

What Kershaw is this?

That is the Kershaw Scamp. It's pretty descent.. 8cr13mov with a Ti coating I'm pretty sure.. it's a framelock. And it's about 20 bucks.. pretty good, but I end up hardly ever carrying mine cause the thumb stud kills my finger. It is one of the sharpest knives out of box that I've ever got tho... seriously.. For the money tho, it's like hey, why not pick one up?
