Stanley Folding Multi Purpose Pocket Knife - Serrated Blade, Aluminum Handle

Bought this knife used, in mint condition, on the well-known auction site (yes, that one). I paid about 60% of the standard price for a new one, and it has proven to be a true bargain. The blade profile is very well designed; the edge geometry is excellenf for everything from heavy-duty cutting to fine slicing. The steel is not the fanciest, but certainly more than up to the task that any general-purpose work knife would be expected to perform. It holds its edge well, and is easy to hone back to a near-shaving edge. I am not a fan of pocket clips, and find the knife more comfortable in the hand with the clip removed. The only negative is that the base of the liner lock/handle design can cause it to pinch your thumb if you are closing the knife one-handed ( but you quickly get used to avoiding the pinch once you've experienced it). Overall, an excellent tool at an excellent price.
