Either way, a good knife is a good knife regardless of where it happened to have been made. My 2018’ VW GTI was assembled in Mexico for example but this doesn’t somehow change the fact that its regardless a very solid, well made automobile. **Q: how well does the blade sharpen and how long does it stay sharp under use ??** A: It actually sharpens very well, and quickly! 8Cr13MoV is a high-grade stainless steel that is slightly softer than, say, AUS-8 (itss most comparative steel, some say). With a good diamond sharpener, I've found that the blade sharpens fast, and stays sharp under normal/moderately extreme use, from breaking down cardboard boxes to carving sandstone (though highly possible, the latter use is not a good use for any knife). Try the Smith's PocketPal sharpener or one of Kershaw's sharpeners. Hope that helps! **Q: How strong was the handle? I've never seem "glass filled nylon" before and I was wondering if it was sturdy enough to stand up for hard duty?** A: Open the hood of your car. All that black plastic? Glass filled nylon. PA66GF35. Everything is made of it. It's good stuff. Don't worry. **Q: Does the thumb stud protrude on both sides of the blade so that the blade can be opened one-handed in either hand with just the thumb?** A: I’d call the thumbstuds more of a blade stop than a thumbstud They do protrude from each side of the blade but they are so close to the handle that it’s difficult to employ as a thumb stud The flipper is perfect It uses their speedsafe spring system so you should be fine with just the flipper ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Brawler Pocketknife, 3" 8Cr13MoV Steel Modified Tanto Blade, Assisted Folder Opening with Flipper, Liner Lock System, Tactical EDC - Kershaw Appa Folding Tactical Pocket Knife, SpeedSafe Opening, 2.75 inch Black Blade and Handle, Small, Lightweight Every Day Carry - Kershaw Misdirect Folding Pocket Knife, 2.9" 4Cr14 Stainless Steel Blade, Compact Frame Lock Design --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1411380-brawler-pocketknife-3-8cr13mov-steel-modified-tanto-blade-assisted-folder](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/1411380-brawler-pocketknife-3-8cr13mov-steel-modified-tanto-blade-assisted-folder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
