Atwood Steel Bookie. Not just a bookmark!
on: November 20, 2011, 01:31:37 AM
I picked up my Steel Bookie today at the post office.  From the pictures on Planet Pocket Tool, I was unsure how big it would be.  I am very pleased with the size.  In a different setting, this would be an ideal sized blade for a folder.





Despite its flat design, the hole and handle shape is actually very comfortable to hold.  Really a nice size for a desk knife.



But how well does it cut?





Very well indeed.  I would say this one is a home run. :multi:

you want to watch your fingers opening a beer with that one! :o  Do you get any kind of sheath with it?
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

There's a clear plastic sheath, but honestly, I have a LOT of other Atwoods with bottle openers.  I'll save this one for knife duty.  :D

It looks like a great little knife.  I have a fascination with small fixed blades and this does seem pretty sweet.

However, I do still have some issues with the placement of the bottle opener, especially when the handle could have been "upside down" just as easily.
