https://www.knifecenter.com/item/BO01BO722/boker-plus-brad-zinker-urban-trapper-gentlemans-flipper-vg10-satin-blade-cocobolo-handles -- for a couple of years now; it's just about the lightest pocket knife I've ever owned, with a 3.95" blade of VG-10 which has slashed through a few ropes, boxes and steaks without needing so much as a touch-up. I like it, a lot, and was almost angry when I thought I'd lost it, only to discover it had snagged on a bit of fencing I'd brushed up against -- BEWARE THE CLIP LOOSENING -- when a friend found it. Yeah, it falls out of my pocket because the clip thing is made out of very cheap, non-springy metal, so it gets loose. I generally always check my pockets after standing up, so it's not so much of an issue. I should really tighten that clip.
