Alternatives
- Fixed blade knife— Stronger for hard use; less discreet to carry.
- Multi-tool— A blade plus pliers and drivers.
Maintenance notes
- Keep the pivot clean; a drop of oil keeps the action smooth.
Buying considerations
- A secure lock and one-hand opening matter for real use.
- Know your local carry laws.
⚠️ Safety notes
- Cut away from your body; a locking blade still closes on careless fingers.
