Edit. Oops
I'd been looking for a stout folder in CPM 3V...since it's a steel I have come to love for its properties, (great toughness, good edge holding and corrosion resistance), and they are hard to come by.
A friend on bladeforums made his spare available to me. I'm glad to have it.
I have one small utility knife made of 3V which Ed Schott built for me 20 years ago and it gets regular use around my home. Good stuff.
Clearly a niche knife, but it will be useful for tasks in my environment.
I've had the same knife for a few years.
Really beefy blade and the golf ball texturing is cool.
My only issue is the lock on mine fails really easily with a spine whack.
Whether you put any validity into the applicability of the spine whack to real world knife use or not is another topic.

I don't plan on testing it in that manner, @JodyH , but when it arrived I gave it a few relatively brisk hits with the spine into my palm. Nothing happened and that was good enough for me. I don't foresee a situation where I would be using it in a manner where that should be an issue. (Doesn't mean it can't happen, though.)
