3.0 out of 5 stars Not nearly as sharp as the first model. May 23, 2012

I purchased a couple of the original Cardsharp. One to leave in the box and the other to actually use. I have to say that the original incarnation of this knife was as sharp as the devil right out of the box. I did the paper test and it took nearly no effort to slice right through again and again. I received my order for the Cardsharp 2 in the mail today. The blade looks as though it was sharpened, coated/painted, then cheaply sharpened again. This thing is DULL! The edge of the blade on the actual product looks completely different from the edge in the stock photo. Like I said, I ordered two of these and they are both the same way. So, it's not any sort of fluke. The only improvement to the design is the locking mechanism. The first one only had a minor lip which the blade tucked under to keep it in place. Maybe quality suffered on this model because they wanted to meet demand easier this time. Their first model was hard to get your hands on unless you were willing to wait. As far as design and function, it makes for a handy emergency backup blade (if they could manage to make it as sharp as their first model). It is what it is. Just don't expect something super sturdy. Anyone expecting more from the design itself and bashing it for not being so may as well go and give a Prius a bad review for not keeping up with a Lamborghini. If they improve the blade to be razor sharp out of the box just as the first model was, I will change my review to the positive.

2.0 out of 5 stars think twice.. March 26, 2013

I like this item and it is very useful but the plastic aspect is what make me kind of regret buying this product. It was not too expensive and its always a cool conversation starter so not that bad after all. If your looking for a durable one though id probably think to look elsewhere
