Professional Opinion
Powder steel hardened to 61 to 63 Rockwell holds an edge for a long time, though sharpening then belongs with a specialist who knows hard steels. The ball-bearing tension screw keeps the action smooth and consistent, and the 5.75 and 6.25 inch lengths split the difference between detail and reach.
