   I received this blade yesterday(08-25) and as usual I found the product to be as good as expected. Sharpened to a perfect edge, size and weight are great. I find over all this knive itself was a good product but the sheath is a bit cheap, probably based on the price of the knife. After removing and inserting the knife in the sheath the rivits holding the plastic to the nylon loop broke away making it hard to wear the knife around the waist. I would recommend this product because of the knife only. The sheath needs work.

   However; it does not come particularly sharp. This is the only reason it would not get a 5 star review from me. Sharpening, however, is rather easy, or if you wish to get it done professionally, rather cheap.

   I would give this product more of a 4.5 star review than 5, but I decided to round it up.

   It’s surprisingly large, even from the description. I remember, receiving this as a Christmas gift, how startlingly long it actually is. After some time of getting used to it, the initial surprise will wear off.

   If sharpened a bit more, this knife is an excellent tool; capable, if the need should arise, of defensive properties rivaling that of more expensive, Military grade combat knives.

   I would recommend this knife even if it cost twice as much, since sharpening is not expensive in the slightest.

   Ok this wasn’t what I expected. First the good: I’ve only just recieved this but it seems to be well built. No loose parts or flimsy construct.
   
   However…
   
   This is a much heavier knife then I thought. It is not practical for combat use. But it would make a hell of a heavy duty kitchen knife.
   
   There are no rubber inserts, or if the inserts are rubber, its a very hard rubber that doesn’t help at all with the grip. So keep in mind that the grip isnt so great (not terrible, do to the shape, but not especially comfortable or slip proof).
   
   The knife did not arrive very sharp, though with some work I’m sure it’ll be just fine.
   
   About the sheath, besides for being cheaply made (I’m sure it’ll fall apart after some use), it has a ‘safety’ latch that keeps the knife in, but makes it very hard to unsheath.
   
   So bottom line; It is a heavy duty knife that is not badly made. The sheath is junk though. It’s a decent price, but not if you want it for army use. I would not take it into combat with me. It may be good for hunting though since I’m not a hunter, I don’t know for sure.
