I have two of these little wonders, I've had for years and they hold up very very well. Just like all the other BK knives here are a work horse, my Favorite is the BK-9 this will do it all, big and small. Take my word I'm retired Canadian Navy. I use these knives in the field for years and worked 100% all of the time. Buy these knives you'll have them for a life time. Bravo Zulu Becker;
