Stainless 440C steel blade, plain aluminum handles, no clip, partially (30%) serrated edges. Medium quality knives, although I don't like the steel that much. I like how their look, also they are very light, due to aluminum handles and skeletonized blade, easy to open with one hand, in some cases very convenient to have serrated blades, or combined blade.
The locking mechanism
- They are lockbacks, but I wouldn't say it[the lock] is good on those knives, I have them around 2 years and haven't used them heavily, however when in Opened and locked position, the locking mechanism is a little bit loose, already :( To be fair I've seen folder knives those were in the same shape out off the box but anyway this is not a good reason for Beretta or anyone else. Can't say too many good words about their edge holding ability either, although it is not worse then one would expect from factory stainless steel like 440C. Fairly easy to sharpen, well dull too :) There are 3 different sizes of those 5, 4 1/4, 3 1/4 inches closed, I got the biggest and the smallest.Last updated - 06/20/08
