'GOOD NO NONSENSE KNIFE'
Strengths:
Very cheap, long lasting and easy to use
Weaknesses:
No guard between blade and handle but it shouldn't be a problem unless you're working on somethinging particularly tough.
Overall:
I've had one of these for going on 5 years now, and it really is just one of those great bits of kit that you can leave in your pack and forget it's there until you find something you'd struggle to do without it, very versatile and since it's so cheap I dont really mind messing it around unlike if I was working with a more expensive knife, highly recommended.

'FANTASTIC VALUE'
Strengths:
Increadiably cheap for what you get. A carbon steel blade is easily sharpened and will [in the long run] out-last a stainless steel blade. Good, efficient locking mechanism.
Weaknesses:
The blade is a tiny bit brittle, i've managed to break about a millimetre off mine. This is a problem with all carbon steel blades
Overall:
For about a fiver it puts other knives to shame. It doesn't come with an array of corkscrews, fish hooks, etc. but ive never found any use for those. A good, easily-maintained carbon steel blade is ideal for a simple, no-nonsense knife.

'THE BEST KNIFE UNDER A TENNER!'
Strengths:
Compact design, good locking system!
Weaknesses:
None.
Overall:
If you are looking for a general purpose knife look no further! From cooking a bbq on a beach in Croatia, to disecting a kiwi-fruit this knife will do it all.
