First off, I'm not an electrician, I just picked up this knife awhile back because I was looking for a new every day carry and I liked the features...plus I know how solid these Victorinox tools are built. I'm an avid hiker/backpacker/bushcrafter and this little gem is ALWAYS in my pocket anytime I head into the woods. The main blade itself is nice and strong, extremely sturdy. It's sharp, it holds an edge very well, and it's a piece of cake to sharpen to a razors edge...it's what I use as a back-up to my&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Condor-Tool-and-Knife-Bushlore/dp/B002CC6BPM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Condor Tool and Knife Bushlore</a>, but I have absolutely no doubt that this is a blade I could trust my life with if the situation should ever arise. The reamer is amazingly strong and sharp and it's also a fantastic scraper for use on a firesteel...it's a blade I use in the woods on a daily basis, very useful.  Also, the wire scraper on the incredibly sharp and sturdy sheepsfoot blade works great for scraping bark and putting sharp points or notches on sticks of all sorts. If you're an avid hiker like myself, and want a useful tool to use as a light, functional, and incredibly well built EDC...you absolutely CANNOT go wrong with this pocket knife.  If you're thinking about it, just buy it...you won't be sorry.
