He will need a sharpener with Aus-8 steel. It won't last very long.

"The mid-back lock is very stiff and I (but maybe not everyone) need a bar or pen to depress the lock which makes closing this knife far more dangerous to me than any slipjoint. Depressing the lock is actually a skill, as you would have told me. I can now do it, but with effort and concentration better used in cutting."

The pressure required on the Triad lock release bar for the Tuff Lites can be adjusted by bending the steel spring bar inside the lock. I find them way too stiff from the factory.
