Thanx guys there sure is a nice variety of cutlery shown here today

Cutco 1886 Pocket Knife. Bought it two years ago, got it sharpened last month, and finally put it to use this week.

I think these are pretty expensive at MSRP ($70--more than triple that of its closest Buck, Case, Gerber, and Bear USA-made competitors), and their service is a little lackluster (a lot of meat was taken from the blade when I had it resharpened, and it's not really that sharp--just working sharp, not shaving sharp). However, the ergonomics are great for my fat fingers and medium-sized hands. No other knife this size fits my hands this well.

I would only recommend buying one used under $20. I think I paid $15 for mine, plus the $7 shipping to get it sharpened two years later. Possibly the reason Cutco had to take away so much meat was that I accidentally blunted it trying to sharpen it myself. A plus to buying one is if you actually know how to sharpen a knife properly. Otherwise, for the size, I recommend the much cheaper Buck, Case, Gerber, and yes, even Bear models--which are all still USA-made. Klein has some Moki-made models that are better for half the price, and well, there's a lot of Seki-made Spyderco models under $70. I have a $60 Jester in CPM-20CV that despite being used almost daily since it was released in November; is still sharper than this Cutco.

Wow, yours doesn't have the ever-common busted blade!

I wish someone would revisit the design. I tested the ad claims with one I bought for $25 with a broken blade (ironically, from a guy who outbid me on the exact same example two years ago, paying twice what I did from him), and it cuts modern barbed wire without a problem and the pliers are pretty strong. Some of my multitools on the other hand, struggle. It is really sturdy for its small size.
