The Volli looks, works and feels like it is new. It is absolutely fantastic. It is the only knife that I carry. I am completely satisfied with this knife. It is well built and retains and edge very well. To me, it is the best possible EDC knife.Your Volli looks nice how is it holding up?
You know, in the UK knives are a touchy subject. It is pretty much VERY illegal to carry any type of knife. You COULD get away with a less than 3inch non-locable blade but you have to prove that you have a good reason to have it on you, ie electrician or builder.
When I was in the States a few months ago I wanted a knife to take with me on the road for 2 months, but I also wanted to take it back with me, therefore I could only get a less than 3 inch non-lockable 'UK LEGAL' knife from a gun store in LA. The guys found it hilarious! Must've got the smallest knife in the whole shop!

Been carring the same small Swiss Army 2blade pocket knife for almost 30years. If it doesn't shave hair it isn't shape!
When I was a Scout I carried the 4 blade standard BSA Pocket knife which I still have and use on camping trips and such. Over the decades family memebers have given me many other folding Knifes.. I do Really like my Buck carried hunting which also shaves hair and skins game with ease.
My latest project. It's Damascus in a Japanese Santoku design. Blade length is 4-3/4", with an overall length of 9-5/16". Used the last of my Amboyna burl for the scales.
Very nice! I'll bet that every time you handle that you want to go slice some tomatoes.
At least, that's how Santokus always make me feel. I don't own one, (Yet), but I have bought a couple of nice ones for my Mom since she loves to cook.
I'm a bit old school, plain old three blade penknife, a Sheffield I bought at Home Depot 15 years ago. In my pocket every day except at the airport. Use it nearly every day for something and super handy on the launch field of course.
I've had several similar to that; mostly Schrade/Old Timer/ Uncle Henry brand. I did a lot of whittling and carving with mine. I kept it shaving sharp (called "scarey sharp" now). I've got a lot of scars, too, from those knives.
Mine could use a sharpening (along with quite a few other blades around the house and shop), good opportunity to pick up some proper sharpening gear.
Gave the CRKT Kasper to my nephew, an officer in the Army who travels in dangerous circles, who can put it to better use.
Bought a new EDC for myself. It's a Milwaukee assisted opening folder.
I removed the clip so I wouldn't be tempted to attach it to my pants pocket. A nice serviceable tool that I wouldn't be terribly upset if I lost. Paid only $19.95 for it on sale at Home Depot and can always buy another. Didn't figure I'd get in any trouble even in California for carrying a Milwaukee knife around in my pocket.
I highly recommend a Lansky sharpener. I've got one with 5 stones, from 70 to 1000 grit. I can put a mirror finish on an edge. I have ceramic stones. They also sell diamond "stones" as well as stones for sharpening serrated blades.

Just curious; what do you all use these knives for? I have nothing at all against carrying them but am curious as to what you actually use them for. Cutting open boxes?
