Review: I’ve been using this model for years. I love it and can’t recommend it enough. My only recommendation is be very careful while using in wet and oily conditions as these knives have no grip whatsoever. It’s a good size and weight and is extremely versatile. I recommend buying extra blades with the knife so you don’t need to run to Home Depot randomly in the middle of doing work. Another recommendation is try to keep it out of your shirt pocket as the blades will rust from condensation from your body heat.
