Wouldn't fruit juice and pulp gum up the pivit area on a folder? And if she washes it every time, won't it need a lot of lubrication in the same area? Why not let her try your Mini-Talon? If she likes it, you've got the answer to a perfect Birthday or Christmas gift. Personally I keep an A.G.Russell Woodswalker in the leather sheath in my desk and use it everyday to peel fruit. It doesn't hold an edge like Talonite, but until I save enough to go the Mini-Talonite route myself, the Woodswalker is what I'm sticking with. BTW I ahve a full size Talonite (a little too large and costly to keep in my desk drawer), and I have the Talonite EDC, but again, I don't want to gum up the pivot area. Let us know what you finally decide on.
