the knife and sheath are well made, however the knife is not what i expected based on the advertisement. one side of the knife is as pictured but the other side of the blade is flat. it is still a high quality knife it looks cheap due to the lack of design on both sides of the blade.

Cold Steel makes a great little knife, Definitely a great little defense tool. the sheath holds the knife very securely and comes with a long chain to wear around the neck if so desired. Great buy.

The handle is perfect. Just the right size, shape, and texture. Balance is also just how I like it. When I grip the knife naturally, I can open my hand and the knife will balance on my index finger. The weight is also perfect– heavy enough that I know it’s there and can feel its movements, but light enough to be very fast.
The edges are every bit as sharp as I expect a knife to be. Not the sharpest I’ve seen, but it shaves my arm easily. The edges are single-beveled, like a chisel or the blades on your kitchen shears. This may cause some trouble for folks who’ve never sharpened single-bevel blades. The back, as noted in other reviews, is flat (actually slightly concave). Some might find this look off-putting. This gives the blade a squat, triangular cross-section. I would have been happier with a slightly thinner blade, but I must admit, you’ll never break this one, except possibly for the very tip. I find even that hard to believe. As a blade design for a fighting/defense knife, this one will probably produce puncture wounds that do not close easily.
The tip itself is NEEDLE SHARP, and I recommend caution if you feel the need to test it by touch. I nearly skewered my finger.
The sheath is almost ideal. The knife clicks in and out with just the right amount of pressure. The sheath holds securely, but not too tightly. A sturdy plastic clip is provided for securing the sheath to your boot, belt, or whatever. This would make an ideal back-up knife, or a primary if you prefer a light, short knife (like my old karate teacher used to favor). It is also of course more concealable and lighter to carry than a big knife.

The quality and design of this knife are outstanding. The edge is razor sharp and the tip beats a syringe. Given the steel grade AUS 8A the edge holds longer than that of most other tactical knives – just check out the Rockwell C-scale. It is obvious a lot of research has gone into the design of the blade – the slightly concave shape, the grove in the spine and the extremely polished surface make this a highly effective defence weapon. It is a pleasure to own this knife.
