5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Defense Knife!   August 12, 2010
S H-C
I have many backup/defense knives in my collection but none of them are as comfortable to hold and carry as this one is. This is now one of my personal favorites and my full time carry knife along with a good pocket knife. It is good for front or back hand draw and is ambedexterus.

PROS:
Light
Small
Sharp
Good blade shape and angle
Very comfortable to wear/hold/and use
Good belt clip
Easy to draw

CONS:
Belt clip finish rubs off but if wiped down enough doesnt get on your clothes



4 out of 5 stars A good defense knife   August 5, 2010
R.Piskami (Missouri, US)
Pros:
-Comes sharp out of the box.
-Comes with kydex sheath and attachable belt/pants clip.
-Has extra screws.
-Low profile for concealed carry, feels great in the hands.

Cons:
-Screws like to strip and the tightening allen wrench it came with is small, weak and all around crap.
-Somewhat slick handle.

Other thoughts:
Worth the $35. I carry it on a daily biases on my weak side.



3 out of 5 stars Good blade - lousy belt clip   July 25, 2010
Foont (Colorado Springs, Co USA)
I received this two days ago. The knife itself appears to be just fine but the metal clip on the sheath was covered with a black powder that rubbed off on cloths, skin or anything it touched. The metal of the clip had no springiness and took a set when opened to attached to a belt. After ujsing it to attach to my belt only three times this clip snapped and is now useless. Without the clip the only place to carry this is in a pocket which is far from ideal. Replacements are sold online for this piece at anywhere from about $7.50 to a little of $10 each but having to replace this after only two days is disturbing.

I am a Patrol Officer and bought this knife to wear while on duty. The knife was not very sharp when I received it, so I had to sharpen it quite a bit. Also, the holster it comes with does not have a retention adjustment on it. I feel like it has the potential to slip out if I get in to a rough, hands on confrontation with someone. I am currently in the market for a different style holster. Overall, the knife is awesome! I am certain I will buy the larger version and possibly the ankle version, in the near future.


4 out of 5 stars Great Knife, but paint comes of the belt clip.   June 11, 2010
Demo_Dan (California,CA)
Knife works great, and you can really pull it out quick and easy when its attached to your belt! Nothing to fumble with in a stressful situation. My only complain is that the metal clip was coated with some kind of paint that rubbed of on my fingers, My fingers were black when I first touched it and I really had to put alot of effort into wiping it all off so It wouldn't leave black on my hands. Also if you want to change it from left hand to right hand you need to have those star looking alen wrenches. Thats all.
