This knife is hard to beat at this price range. It’s inexpensive and tough. I love nice, expensive knives and I keep them that way. This thing I beat the crap out of and don’t feel bad doing it. It’s on my tool belt work, another on my regular belt. Love this knife at this price.
At any point do you have to sharpen the blade if it gets dull? I work with furniture where i work and i'm constantly cutting cardboard, straps, and shrinkwrap.
Every knife needs to be sharpened overtime. How often is dependent on the hardness of the steel, and the knife wielder's care for it, ie; cardboard cutter or staple puller, or drywall destroyer. I have been using mine for close to 6 months with cardboard, pressboard, pine wood and MDF. Aside from a small ding when I hit a finish nail scraping some wood glue off a drawer I was making, the edge holds up. Look into the Worksharp EDC Pivot Sharpener, for "on-the-floor' touch ups- small enough to fit in a pocket for only $10 bucks.
This is an amazing craftsman/edc work horse of a knife especially when all there series knives are around 15$ I have the hawkbill style folder and I can tell y’all’s right now that it’s the best company for serious blue collared workers
It's so you can baton the knife through carpet and drywall, that's what some guy who is supposedly a bushcrafter and does construction told me but I've never actually seen him do either one
It's for strength. When you stab into drywall or cardboard and accidently hit a stud or cement flooring or a wall... the force will travel down the entire length of blade and into grip- limiting the chance for a dangerous equipment failure. If the blade were half-tang or simply epoxied into the pommel, or have a pin tapped into place, there is a higher chance of equipment failure when under a load. You can test this by taking a "gas-station" knife and stomping on it on a curb... it'll likely break in half. Full-tang will not. It may bend, (again, depending on the steel), but will not break given that it's steel all the way through.
