Strong frame, and the marlin spike is well pointed for intricate knot work
Negative was double screw driving end that didn't allow for use of either, but remedied with fileing one flush
Gotten a few compliments about the knife
Judging from the sharpening effort, the blade appears to be of sufficient hardness to hold an edge for a reasonable service time
Plan to do a bit of sharpening to get it shaving sharp but this was easy to do
No rope knot is safe from this tool ! Took and keeps an edge, very surprising for the price, excellent tool for knots ,reason for buying it in the first place! Very useful knife
