Its’ cut plastic with mine which is tough on the edge. Use a dual wheel edge sharpener and good to go. Screws may wiggle loose (had mine a couple of years) and T 6 torx driver cinch the screws up. I bought 10 and gifted them

This is the perfect little pocket knife for cutting willow sticks.Works great for whittling to a point and putting a marshmallow on and toasting golden over a campfire! Its useful for so many things like cutting a fishing line free too! Everyone should have one outdoors and I recommend this one especially.
