Perfect for Daily Carry

Perfect for Daily Carry
I very rarely write reviews, but this one seems worth it.I have carried the Centofante III daily for six years. I purchased this knife in 2010 when I lost an expensive benchmade knife and couldn't stomach buying a replacement in the same price range. Ironically, about a year after buying this I found the benchmade and instead of switching back to it I put it in a drawer where it has sat for roughly 5 years now.I absolutely love this knife; it sharpens well, has a great sized blade for so may applications and is super light weight. I have skinned deer and boar with it in the field, prepared lunches (after washing off any deer/boar of course), cut rope, zip ties, fishing tackle, and opened what feels like 1000 amazon packages. It is just a great all around size for general utility and the light weight makes it disappear in your pocket. Since owning it I have gone through three replacement clips, but other that that the knife has required no maintenance beyond sharpening.I was concerned about the rivet and lack of user-adjustable tension when I purchased it. I can now confidently say that any fear is unwarranted. The knife opens perfectly smoothly and with just the right amount of tension every time. Six years of use has proven this platform.I can't imagine anyone regretting owning this. I have attached a picture of my knife in bad lighting with too many shadows, but anyway, it is proof that it is still knife shaped and all.

パン切りナイフを探してAmazonを検索していたら、風変わりな穴空きのナイフを見つけました。
他のナイフに無いなめらかな曲線のデザインにやられて、そのまま購入。
(他のレビュアーさんの評価がおおむね高かったのもポイントです)
届いた品を刃を洗浄して、さっそくパンや紙を切ってみましたが、軽さ・切れ味に驚かされました。
また、私は手が小さいのですが(小指のリングサイズ7号)、大き過ぎず小さ過ぎずなサイズ感が気に入りました。
デザイナー品と工業品のいいとこ取りといった感があり、機能・デザインともに秀逸で、日常に彩りを与えてくれる逸品です。

特徴的な穴を使った『ワンハンドオープン』もできるそうですが、無用な怪我の元になりそうで、私は勧めません。
あくまで刃物であり、玩具ではありませんから。
