I had the original Techno and hence sold it, here's why: I find it more of a designer knife/pocket jewellery than what it was marketed to be; ie. a so called "Little Big Knife" for EDC. As a knife it fails on almost all counts of everyday tasks. Because of the thickness of the blade, it preforms poorly at tight spots such as opening up envelops, it's too short to be used as food prep. Even halving a sandwich it compresses the bread instead of cutting it. I can't begin to tell you how useless it is around the grill in the summer. On top of that, the wire clip and the extra slots for ...I dunno...left pocket carry...? simply destroys the original design.
Sharpen it with a 14 or 15 dps edge and it will perform a lot better. It has a standard factory edge sharpened up to 20 dps. I don’t say it is a perfect knife with great ergonomics. You can’t make the blade thinner. But it makes a big difference. I like it
