I examined a Kershaw Mini-task at a gun show yesterday. I remember somewhere reading about these knives being dangerous to open, but I had no problems. If you're used to Kershaw's Liner Action, it's easy to get your thumb out of the way after that initial push.
My question is, does anyone use a Random Task or a Mini-task as a regular blade, and how does it perform? Does it resharpen easily, or hold a good edge? How about durability, particularly of the stop pin? (an important question, since the blade is designed to open at speed). Lastly, does it resist rust reasonably well, or if not, does it clean up easily?
Any comments will be much appreciated.
P.S. If the liners are Ti, do they hold up with repeated use?
