They're appealing with the attractive and durable alox handles , so I figured it was finally time to see just what I was missing out on with this ever popular model.
So what do I think about it, well honestly I don't get why they're raved about so much.
It's a nice knife and I like it, but there's something about my recruit that this knife just isn't.
I really do like it a lot, it's just that in comparison to my recruit I'd buy a it over this cadet every time.
This knife is no better in my opinion and I could get two recruits for the $33 this costed me, online I'm sure it's less but I was at the local hardware anyways and like to support them.
I'd say it's every bit as good as my recruit and does have the potential for a bit of added utility.
The one thing the recruit can't do is turn small Philips screws, the Cadet almost can but needs a slight modification to be more effective.
The nail cleaning tip I didn't need , but to be able to turn small Philips screws should be handy.
I don't much need the nail file either, but it will occasionally see use I suppose.
Im findimg that It's really easy to compare two very similar knives not taking into account all the knives I'm just happy with that are so vastly different, if I can get out of my head and realize it's okay that this similar knife doesn't compared directly to my recruit then I'll be perfectly happy with it.
