I can't imagine better work knife for the money.
All stainless steel construction (very similar to Spyderco Police IMHO), sharp out of the box, and big (really BIG, it just gives the feel of sturdiness).

On the other hand I can't imagine anyone using this as an EDC - 160g weight and it's size just are not compatible with the word pocket knife :) Also it's pocket clip is suitable more for belt than for a pocket (vide following pics).

Fit and finish are fairly good. Only problem is rough opening. Not smooth at all. But I guess it will wear out to nice condition by the time.

I have been thinking about picking one of these up now your review has helped me make up my mind:thumbup: Thanks for the review and now i'am off to buy one:D
 
Nice pics :)
I've had mine for about a year now. When I first got it I thought it was a counterfeit Spyderco , but it wasnt. :p

The only thing I do not like about my Cara Cara is the handle , I've been toying with the idea of doing some work on it to make it more 'non slip' , just not sure what I'm going to do yet.
For the low price it is a very nice knife.

Good thread Huugh. :thumbup:
