Victorinox hunter pro opinions

[Kentish]

I need a second knife and was thinking about getting a folder, namely this victorinox hunter pro. Looking at the blade, it appears to have an edge on both sides at the tip. That seems like a bad idea both from a gralloching and, being a folder, a safety perspective since it would have an edge exposed when closed. Or am I missing something?

If you like that shape as a back up folder, have a look at the EKA No9.

FFS at that price just get a bulk order of Opinel knives!

It only appears to have an edge on the spine but it is just the way it is ground. It only has one edge (where you would expect)

I handled one recently. Thick spine, felt strudy. I quite liked it. Seemed a useful, heavy(ish) duty folder.

Couldn’t have put it better.
Carbon not stainless.

I prefer and would recommend the Swede EKA No 10 with the yellow handle.

As @Cottis correctly said it is only a ricasso, not a sharp edge.
I use the Alox Hunter version of this knife. This doesn‘t have the thump opening hole but it is basically the same blade.
My verdict, go for it! Brilliant knife!
