By BigTony from Lake Stevens, WA on 11/03/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Compact, Durable, Good Weight, Sharp Blade Cons: Sheath needs a Tec-lok, Uneven grind Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Everyday carry, River Trips, Road Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Ever on the search for a good "everyday carry" knife I soptted this stout little fixed blade and thought I'd give it a try. While 440c isn't the best steel out there it is easy enough to keep sharp and has good wear resistance. This is a substantial knife without being heavy, due to it's skeletonized handle and rather short blade. While I am very pleased with it so far it does have two major draw backs: First, the blade grind was uneven. This is somwewhat understandable for a mass produced knife in this price range, but it did require my attention. Secondly, the sheath is set up for neck carry only. This is the biggest flaw as it NEEDS a tec-lok or some way to attach the sheath to a belt included with the sheath. I am in the process of ordering a mini tec-lok and hope the sheath can be easily modified to accept it. Once I find a way to attach this knife to my belt I will EDC it for a few weeks and reserve my final judgement until then. So far though, for the price I consider this knife a good value.
By anomad from new mexico on 10/06/2009 Pros: Bomb proof little knife, Compact, Durable Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Non threatening office Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great Boker quality at a bargain price with coupons from STP. About half what these were when they first came out. Makes a great utility knife for general cutting purposes and doesn't scare people because its so "cute". Tactical uses include keeping unruly tomatoes properly sliced or opening boxes.
