Here are my views on the Seki Cut Little Blue that I recently acquired. The highly polished VG-10 blade is beautifully done and was shaving sharp out of the box. The Quince Wood was also very nicely finished. The knife opens exceptionally smoothly. I was very slightly disappointed with the anodized finish on the frame because it was a little uneven around some edges. However, the overall finish was more than acceptable for this pricepoint. It is such an attractive "gentleman's folder" that I could not resist fondling it. And there I found a problem. While the exceedingly sharp point is within the frame it is so close to the edge that when the ball of a finger rubs over the end the flesh protudes in enough to contact the blade. Ouch! Just a tiny prick but very annoying. Terry F
