take it from someone who has now "field tested" (operationally or operatively??) this knife...the steel with its edge is as good as a scalpel and for that Mr. Harsey should be proud. The patient and I are most grateful for the craftmanship and sharpness of this edged tool.
It is my constant companion, is presently hooked onto my jeans waistband and will remain there .....until such time that a (?) new Harsey knife takes it's position.
