Best pocketknife I've ever had | |
| Rating: |  |
| Although not noted in the REI description, my Mini-Griptilian has a 154CM steel blade, a very good, hard, but reasonably easy to sharpen steel. It came out of the package literally razor-sharp. I'll have a hard time ever making it sharper than the factory edge it came with. The knife rides easily in a pocket, and is quickly and easily gripped for use. It opens easily with the thumb stud, and the Axis lock system is easily operated with one hand. The blade is very, very secure in locked position--no movement ever felt thus far. I own folding knives by several quality makers, and this is easily the best working folder I've ever had. Very, very pleased with this knife. | |
