Travis Dec 23rd 2020 Good knife in terms of blade sharpness and quality. A tiny portion of the tip on mine broke off under light use, but it was small enough that I was able to make a new one with a sharpening stone. But weight and balance are an issue. Maybe this was intentional for some reason I don't know, but the handle being made of steel makes it excessively heavy and makes it droop when sheathed unless the scabbard is tied down to your leg. This can be mitigated by changing to another scabbard/sheath with a higher-mounted retention strap that wraps around the end of the handle instead of over the crossguard. If they ever decide to make a "version 2" of this knife, I think making the handle out of Kydex or some other high-impact plastic would be in order.

The Survivalist Emporium Jan 27th 2012 Great value for the dollar. Kit is moderately priced which gives us a good profit margin while maintaining competitive retail pricing. PROS: Knife & Sheath quality; Stainless Steel Blade comes sharp; low price; profit potential. CONS: Packaging is poor. Knives come with boxes crushed (Rothco packaging needs improvement) and breaks in box siding where knife tangs have pushed through; directions for use inadequate. RECOMMENDATIONS: BETTER PACKAGING IS NEEDED; IMPROVE DIRECTIONS FOR CUSTOMERS.
