Spanish Aitor this morning. Lot to like about this knife: inexpensive, preferred size 8.5cm /3.5" Leaf blade is broad can tackle a large apple with no problems, stainless liners so no internal corrosion, brass pins look decorative but they can't give verdigris to wood , strong spring but easy to grab open (you have to guide it shut Laguiole style) Wood is Rosewood or Bubinga? darkened nicely. Finish is exceptional, scales are smooth, it passes the 'braille' test- no protruding or sunk pins, no liners above/below scales, spring liners flush and smooth, no gaps, never any play.

What a eulogy ,,,,well the downside is that it's no longer made and can't be replaced, would like an upgraded version with say Ram's Horn but....the carbon blade takes a good patina but does not stay ultra sharp for long, but then, this is a pocket-knife so it will do :cool:
