It was pretty sharp if I remember right.... been a few years. Just sharpen it yourself .

Was going to go with the Paraframe until I read a story about how a guy accidentally slipped a finger into the frame and sliced off a nice chunk of skin.

I've been using a paraframe II for more than five years and have never cut myself on it.

I prefer to carry a fixed blade though.

No means of sharpening it up here, my dad could do it if I was back home.

I'm kinda new to the knife world, I've been carrying around a Winchester pocket knife my dad bought me when I was a kid. The job I just applied for requires me to drive in some sketchy parts of campus late at night, so I figured I should probably get something that will open quickly.

I like my SOG, I've had many over the years but its the best so far. Its got a half serrated stainless blade and its spring assisted. Its got a really low profile clip on it, kinda backwards at first.... but it makes it easier to open and close (faster too). I got a few fixed blades, couple bowie knives etc. Always good .

just get yourself a good wetstone and do it yourself.... I got a few of them, most I picked up cheap at yard sales actually.

No spring loaded, assisted opening, or regular folder will ever open as quickly as a fixed blade.

Haha. I carry a 3.77 inch blade. Fits in my pocket perfectly, though I usually carry it in my boot.
