I have a CRKT 1* (one butt to risk), This is my second CRKT, my first was a plane old M16-12. I love the feel of the knife and the second locking device "AutoLAWKS", however these blades do not hold an edge very well at all. The Triple-Point™ Serrated edge does however stay very sharp. It may be that the steel on some of their other knives are better but, I am not sure I would buy another of this model.
