Review: Very secure grip, super tough knife!!!! - I have the serrated model, it stays sharp forever. I sharpened it twice, but I only did to experiment with sharpening serrations. It sharpened fine with a sharp maker. This blade is crazy tough!! I have cut through the following materials: heavy cardboard, tape, wood, heavy plastic, rope, soda cans, blue jeans, and bean cans. I have not experienced any blade play, damage or deformation!! I see some folks have experienced chipping...maybe it was a fluke bad heat treat? Maybe it was twisted on a hard material? This isn’t my first Aus-8 Cold Steel knife I’ve used and I have not experienced chipping ever, luckily. I dropped an old Vaquero Grande tip down on cement from about 4 feet once and only got the tiniest of tip rolling. I am very impressed! These are not pricey knives either, for $23-24 you are getting tremendous value!! In a nutshell, you’re getting a light weight, beastly strong blade with tough steel, and the best locking mechanism on the planet for nearly nothing when compared to other makers. Also, it’s a very comfortable knife in hand! I think it could accommodate various hand sizes, even bigger hands due to that great choil. And it performs EXACTLY as a knife should, it cuts like a buzz saw....even tougher materials like wood and heavy plastic. Buy one, beat it up and I bet you’ll fall in love and buy another.
Review: A very handy pocket knife, strong, sturdy, durable - I like everything about this product it is an excellent value for the money. I have it on my keychain, some people may think it's a little big for a keychain but it is actually not it works out very well and it is high quality the looks are amazing my friends comment on it all the time the ease of opening is nice and it's not too heavy to work on the end of a keychain

## Questions & Answers

**Q: On a scale of 1 to 10 how hard are the serrations to sharpen?**
A: For the record, you can send your knife into Cold Steel for sharpening. They will sharpen the blade & serrations and send it back to you for around $8. I asked when I purchased the Recon 1 Tanto because the serrations were so fine (1/32") and I couldn't find a tool to do the sharpening myself.

**Q: is this Aus 8 stainless steel or 4034 stainless steel?**
A: (Copied from the Cold Steel website)
Japanese AUS8A Stainless

**Q: What does the 20Lts stand for?**
A: That's just the part number. I checked on the Cold Steel website
