>>270427I cary this Shalot with me everywhere I go. The blade is a good quality steel which holds an edge well and isn't too had to sharpen. The frame itself is fucking rock solid. My boss literally ran it over with his truck by accident and the only damage was a small scratch which you can see in the pick. It's spring assisted with a locking frame so it holds open really positively. A great choice for a folder that is a bit on the large size without being obtrusive.
