Next to Mora, this may be the sharpest knife out of the box that I've ever had. OKC puts a perfect edge on their AUS-8 steel. This knife is light weight and sleek. If your are looking for a big beefy knife, this is not it. If you are looking for a good looking, light weight, great EDC at a good price point then this is your knife. OKC has not disappointed me yet.
