$1 knife
When will my being a penny pincher ends? I can't help it, I saw this knife at Walmart and I can't resist buying it for one dollar. Unbelievable - what can you do with a one dollar knife. You tell me, here are some photos of the knife.
3 1/4" partially serrated blade, lockback folder, with pocket clip, made in China.
4 1/2" plastic handle with checkering.
The blade is dull out of the box, won't cut paper. Even the serrated edge needs sharpening but I don't have the tool to sharpen it.
Maybe this knife is good as striker for firesteel because the spine is squared off and sharp. Or maybe I'll reprofile the blade and remove the serrated edge so it will be easier to sharpen. For my next project?
