## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife, poor scabbard
*by S***T on April 22, 2025*

Great knife, sharp and strong. Looks awesome. Sheath/scabbard looks good and works OK but offers no protection from dirt or moisture. In fact it would probably trap dirt against the blade.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife but the deliery process leaves much to be desired.
*by C***. on April 12, 2017*

I have to say that United's M48 brand is quite exceptional. I have their tactical tomahawk and kama as well. Both of them lived up to all expectations and the tactical kurki is no exception. An incredibly rugged piece of steel indeed. I particularly love the unique design of the sheath. I recommend checking out the Youtube videos featuring this blade if you really want to see what it can do. Most impressive. I do however have a slight complaint about the delivery process. It definitely needs improvement. I was originally told the product would arrive on either the third or fourth of the month. It never did. I was then sent an e-mail saying it would arrive on the sixth or seventh. Again they failed to deliver. A second e-mail informed me it would arrive on the 12th. It finally got here today (the 11th). A bit frustrating to say the least.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great knife, sheath doesn't clip
*by M***. on September 18, 2020*

Excellent blade, but sheath does not clip shut. As long as you do not require the blade to be held in while moving around vigorously, this is a solid buy.
