Morakniv Basic 511 Fixed Blade vs Olfa 1072198 LA-X

Personally I sharpen it every third day of use, making anywhere from 5 to 50 cuts, to ensure it does the job right every time (and it does) Grinding down the spine certainly took longer using a sharpening stone, but much like sharpening, it was more time consuming than energy consuming, and doesn’t drag on fabrics when wiping down the blade now, so that was a worthwhile improvement for me. Weight wise, it’s a bit blade biased in terms of weight balance, but since the overall weight is very much light, I never noticed until I deliberately tried to find a center. That being said, it handles great between fragile plant stems where a slip could cause serious damage, and as it’s light/sharp, the job really is quite effortless to accomplish

This is definitely on the hefty side. I like that because it stays in the office and it makes it feel substantial in your hand. Depending on your use case this may be a negative. The deploy/retraction mechanism is smooth and solid
