Whimsical, Versatile, April 12, 2011
I received this knife a year ago for Christmas. The minute I saw it, I wanted it for my collection! It is as beautiful in person as in the pictures.
Pros:
It can be worn as a pendant, which as a woman I really like
It has a clip, also a plus since many of my garments don't have pockets (see cons)
One hand action...always good
The small size isn't threatening. This is obviously a utility knife.
It's a great conversation piece and comes gift boxed.
Cons:
This only has four stars because I got so frustrated with the clip. It DOES NOT stay securely screwed to the knife. I ended up taking it off and just using the optional 2nd shell. I really wish this worked as advertised!!!
My knife didn't come sharp enough. That's not a huge deal, but it would have been nice.
The shell will get scratched if you use it as a key ring.
For the price I wish they had included an inexpensive key ring and neck chain so it could be used out of the package in any way the user desired.
My turtle usually hangs out in my wallet, and I use it all the time for little tasks. I like carrying a blade, but often get odd looks when I pull out even a small pen knife. I appreciate makers who take their products "outside the box".

Worthless as a money clip, September 25, 2011
Do not buy this knife if you plan on using it as a money clip. For some stupid reason, the screw that attaches the money clip sticks out and RIPS the bills as you pull them out. Another reason why this is worthless as a money clip is that it isnt large enough to comfortably cover the money. Useful money clips reach almost the bottom of the bill, making removing and attaching that much easier. The Ashworth turtle does not reach halfway.
In short, buy the Ashworth as a cute 1" snub knife. Do not buy this as a money clip!

My Wife Seems to Like It, August 11, 2011
My wife loves turtles and the color pink. I love practical things.
This was a no brainer as a little christmas gift for her to carry in her purse. It is fairly sharp out of the box and is well built.
Now she doesn't have to ask to borrow my knife all the time.
