This tool is though compact has been proven very useful over the years.  I received this as a gift from my grandmother many years ago, quality product that has stood up the test of time in my book.  I have used it to fix glasses, cut coupons, pulled slivers, peal oranges.... The blade has been easy to keep sharpened and I would have no problem recommending this tool to anyone looking for a versatile small pocket knife to carry with them daily.
