I bought a cold steel single edge ParaEdge two year ago on clearance. I got it out of curiosity but it has become a constant companion. The blade is 2 3/4in. long and very lite. It gets a lot of use while fishing and in preparing fruit and vegetables. The back edge is also use to get a spark for a fire. One question I have are these knives legal carry under your clothes in public? That is the only way I carry it. <br><br>
