CIVIVI Elementum C2103DS-3 Damascus Folding Knife - 3.47" Blade, Marble Carbon Fiber Handle, Button Lock EDC Pocket Knife for Outdoor, Camping, Hiking & Everyday Carry

This is my personal EDC knife.Smooth opening, and exceptionally sharp right out of the box. Slices nicely, and has excellent edge retention. Absolutely beautiful Damascus pattern in the steel. I really love the push-button locking system. It allows me to draw the blade very quickly, but also safely.After carrying this knife all day long, every single day, since I originally bought it many months ago, I am actually thoroughly impressed. I use it around 30 times per week to cut/slice all sorts of various materials.Everything from heavy packing straps (the steel wire re-enforced kind that you might find on very large, heavy packages 100+ lbs), to packing tape from opening simple packages, or even just slicing an apple to eat for lunch at work. It simply cuts beautifully, and feels just as good while doing so.I have tested this knife on several other foods as well (steak, chicken, peaches, pears, plums, salad tomato's etc...) It slices amazingly well all the way around. Perfectly capable of regularly producing legitimately "paper thin" slices (with a steady, skilled hand) right out of the box.I bought a second one simply to have a backup, in the rare case that I lose the original. That is how much I love this knife.It has served me very well, has made many hundreds of cuts/slices for me already, even after only a few months, and I absolutely trust it to continue doing its job for the very long term future, with very basic care, and simple edge maintenance.
