Kevin,

I haven't tried this one. The shape of it looks nice, and the picture,
along with the description, make it sound a lot like the Swiss knife
except that it has a round handle.

Have you tried any of the Landwell knives? I looked at a friend's medium
Landwell and it seemed surprisingly hard to sharpen.
