Of all my small fixies, this is one of the most comfortable and the most pleasing to look at! The blade takes a very keen edge, I believe it has a VG10 core, and it easily clips on my waist without making my shorts sag. Definitely pocketable too. For comparison, I have a Tenable Parr (another J. Styles design!) and Kizer Mini Harpoon & Drop Bear. The pics show them aligned from the tips and butts so you guys can gauge the blade and handle lengths.
