C1691N Fixed Blade Knife,D2 Steel Nylon Fiberglass Handle Outdoor Claw Knife for Survival, Hiking, Camping with Kydex Sheaths(Black)

Pros: Very sturdy and sharp. Looks nice. Easy to handle. Finger ring is perfect size. Scabbard reversible for lefties.Cons: scabbard is not tight enough to keep knife locked well.All in all, you can't beat the price for what you get. I bought four.

I got this knife in May and absolutely loved it. Super sharp out of the box great feel in the hand and holds the sharpness great. Have only had to hit it with a quick tune up sharpen once or twice. I open a lot of boxes at work and this knife was great. The sheath made it easy access for work and is built great. I speak in the past tense on the knife because as my title says so good it was a steal for someone. I set it down on the rack and grabbed my next two boxes. When I got back to the rack my knife was gone. I thought maybe I took it with me when I grabbed the other boxes so I checked there and it wasn't there. So highly recommend this knife just be mindful of where you leave it because it may not be there when you get back.

Ok, it’s a $15 knife, so here’s the pros and cons.Pros:Solid feel. Comfortable grip. Not premium D2, but definitely a higher than average hardness. Fits tight in holster. Can get a training version of the exact shape. (Masalong kni104)Cons:Did not come sharpened well. The back of the “dual side” blade was not sharpened at all. (D2 is more challenging to sharpen yourself, so this was a bummer, as it took a lot of work to get any kind of usable sharpness to it.) Pulling the knife from the holster cuts a small amount of plastic away almost every-time no matter how you pull, so I’m not sure the holster will last long-term.Overall, I think it’s a great beginner Karambit to get used to the feel and nature of this type of knife. It feels solid and looks nice. If you are good at sharpening your own blades, you can probably get this very usable. It has a nice weight to it, and is a high hardness steel. Being able to get a training version of the same mold is also a real plus.A solid 4 star for a knife in the $15 range.

This is much more than simply a self defense weapon. This blade changes the situation in your favor, immediately. I have honed mine until it has become razor sharp, and cannot be touched without consequences. People see this on my belt, and look at me like "Holy crap! That guy's armed to the teeth!" Intimidation is an immediate factor. Next comes the effect-

good quality

Handle feels good. Blade is strong. Reverse serrations work. It hangs up in the sheath pretty bad tho and there's no easy way to get it into a Carrier. I value my belt space more than this blade is worth.Not saying it's a bad knife it's just belt space is very valuable

I bought this for my GF. It fits her hand perfectly, and securely. Razor sharp out out of the box.

Very well made, the grip and blade are well designed. The sheath is excellent, it firmly retains the knife to prevent accidental dropping. It can be reversed to change grip direction. Very good price. So why did I give it 4 stars? The red grip is closer to a faded red or salmon color and the blade needs better sharpening. I would buy it again but a different color.
