When i looked at the price of this knife i thought it would be rather cheaply built, wouldnt retain sharpness, and just wouldnt be as good as the reviews said. thing was i needed a knife and it was the cheapest smith and wesson i could find.

I was 100% wrong this knife came extremely sharp, i have used it many times and the handle is perfectly ergonomic for my hand (i am 5'10" if that helps you).

Also the sheath is made of durable thick leather and the belt clip is fastened very well.

But As 1 review stated these types of knives are illegal to carry out of the sheath in 12 different states.
so be careful when you do buy it.

Buy This Knife YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT I PROMISE!

I am a lover of high value tools and toys such as Ka-bar and Glock for example, but this is truly an item of utermost extreme quality. My brother took this same modle to Marjah yes that push into Afgan that the news was talking about. He abslolutly loves this knife even more than his Ka-bar and Marines love their Ka-bars. Now bare in mind that this is not a utility blade it is strictly meant for self defense and as a backup knife in a fight or tussle. If you have any knid of duty that will put you in danger of your life you need some sort of back up weapon that includes a subcompact gun and a knife. Well this is the perfect little life saver to complete the package along with your Kel-tec. Don't let the "stainless" deter you from this blade because it is made for pierceing not anything crazy. The true specs on this blade are 4 7/8in, or 12.5cm of blade length and 4 1/4 or 11cm of auctual cutting edge. The handle is 4 1/4in or 11cm and overall it is 9in or 23cm. The knife in sheath weighs about 4 oz and blade alone is about 3oz. A well made sheath of leather with a very sturdy clip and a button snap that is very easy to remove upon extraction. The handle is long enough for my hands and I have large hands but is a little skinney so thickend it up with some electrial tape and then athletic tape for added grip. I only gave it four stars because it did not come very sharp and it did need some stone work. But overall it is a great knife, buy one and see how you like it if you don't just give it to your brother because he might enjoy it.

Took a little while to get used to but now I can't tell it's there.

A great knife for the price. I loved everything about this knife. The grip feels great in your hand.The only thing that wasn't so good was that it isn;t very sharp out of the box.

Very good knife for the price

-As usual, it came with a nice sharp edge.
-The finish is semi-durable....it will start to wear after a while.
-The rubberized handle is VERY NICE. One of the best I've noticed among the knives I have purchased.

-The sheath is pretty thin (in a good way). The snap thingy that holds the knife in secures nicely and is pretty easy to open. The back clip did seem a bit firm but that probably wouldn't matter if you were wearing it on a belt/pocket.

Overall, a 5 out of 5. For only $15 or so, this knife is definitely worth the price.
