I bought this “knife” when I had a chore to do that I didn’t want abusing the edge on my beloved blades. I picked this up at my local Tractor Supply.
I know many will say that a replaceable blade tool isn’t a “knife” but this one has changed my mind.
It is an Outdoor Edge 3.5” Onyx EDC clip folder. IThe action locks up absolutely tight and the $3 replaceable edge is shaving sharp out of the box. Think of a heavier duty full length box cutter. The blade is sturdy enough that I would have no qualms jabbing it in to a slab of meat.
I love that I never have to sharpen it and if I damage the edge I just shrug and grab a replacement blade. In two years I have replaced the blade twice. I have never felt the need for the blade to be tighter. Retention is perfect with virtually no play.
One caveat is that for messy work you must remove the blade and clean it and the blade holder. Failure to do this can result in the blade being stuck in the knife.
This has evolved to be my EDC simply because of quality and utility.
I would prefer a bit more heft in the handle perhaps, I may shop for another model.
