I picked one up from Larry at Friendship a while back and use it often. VERY handy. I "thinned down" the pick on mine after I got it home. I don't pick often so I'm not too worried about the construction of it (steel). The little square notch on the upper rear works pretty good for "nibbling" a flint just a little, to keep one going. Especially useful on a woodswalk, etc. The screwdriver ends are perfect for tightening the cock screw when changing a flint.
All-in-all...I'm very happy with mine. Don't care if it's "HC" or not. It flat works.
