Primus - FieldChef Pocket Knife tested

On the package it says blade length 10 cm. However, the honed (useable) part of the blade is only 9 cm. Also, on the package it says 59 g, although in reality it weighs in at 65 g. Still, it's one of the lightest foldable chef's knives in the market, if not the lightest. The handle is ergonomic; it gives enough knuckle clearance, on account of its angle relative to the blade. The biggest drawback is the length; it could certainly use a longer blade, in the 10.5 - 11 cm range. Otherwise, it's OK for backpacking or whenever weight is an issue.
