I really love Richard's designs and wish I could afford one of his customs. I think this one is called the "Cuatro" because it's based on his "4F" design. https://richardrogersknives.com/pages/4f
EDIT: Actually it looks more like the Vector V2. https://richardrogersknives.com/pages/vector-v2
I agree with others that 8Cr13MoV surely isn't like the CTS-XHP he uses on his handmade knives, but it is easy to sharpen which I think is an important quality for a knife that can be carried and used daily without worrying too much about how it looks. As far as $40 knives go, I kinda like this little guy.
JonasHeinemanOnce you get a sharpening system, like the Lansky somestimes dropped here, or some stones, or other popular sharpeners like the KME, Wicked Edge Pro, or the one from Spyderco (you know the one), an EDC blade that takes a keen edge but needs sharpening a little sooner is not really a proble. An EDC blade also comes back home with you practically everyday, whereas a steel that holds an edge longer makes sense on longer work trips (sometimes, there is lots of tape to cut and boxes to open) or multi-day camping trips.
Bring this svelte looking blade (is the handle thin too?) to work, whether work is the office or the ranch, and it will serve its purpose well.
If you’ve handled it, is the flipping action fun for fidgeting?
