Review: Great knife for the price - Great knife at this price point. It looks good and feels good in the hand. It has a very sharp point with a double edge blade. Sheath is not leather but is adequate. If you are a knife snob then this knife is not for you. If you are looking for a budget friendly knife then you have found one that is good to carry. I have owned this knife since January 2023. It was sharp when I received it but I like them shaving sharp, so I sharpened it to my liking. While some will say it is cheap Chinese steel, it was not easy to sharpen. Took me a while to sharpen to my liking, due to its hardness. Its 3CR13 satin finish stainless steel blade provides an excellent balance of hardness and corrosion resistance. The knife’s fit and finish are good but if you are looking for the perfection of a $200 + knife then move on it is not for you. I find the fit and finish to be good enough for my needs. I really like this knife. I like its look and feel. Love the wood handle scales with the satin stainless steel finish of the blade. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, feels good in the hand and is strong enough to fulfill its purpose. This is a defensive knife, not an every day work horse, bush craft knife, so it will not likely hold up to pounding the blade through wood with a large stick or using it as a pry bar. Used properly it will last you a life time. Want to know its purpose look up the Fairbairn–Sykes fighting knife, which it is styled after to some degree.
Review: “Not cheap,just affordable” - This dagger knife in this price range cannot be beat! As with all Mtech knives I own, I have yet to be disappointed. Everyone that I have purchased is a jaw dropper. That being said, I fully understand I am not purchasing super high quality, so time will tell how long my Mtech collection will last. But let me tell you, Mtech knives are not cheap, just affordable!! So, have yourself a treat and enjoy one, what do you have to lose, you are ordering from desertcart!! RJS

## Questions & Answers

**Q: type of metal?**
A: The double edged blade is 440 stainless steel. It is full tang with brass pinned wood handles. It has a nice weight and feel to it. I highly recommend this knife.

**Q: Is this legal in Texas**
A: Blades over 5.5 inches are “location restricted” in Texas. This blade would be legal to carry in Texas, even in the restricted locations.

**Q: Is there a boot clip on sheath?**
A: No. There is no boot clip. It's just a regular sheath. For the belt only.

**Q: Can you throw it without it breaking?**
A: You can throw any knife with proper training and practice but this knife wasn't designed for it.  However it does throw nicely and will not break if you hit your target correctly.  If you miss or hit indirectly it will break the handle or tip very easily but those can easily be fixed or made even better.  As far as the cold steel recommendation I certainly wouldn't go that route but to each their own.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing for the price? I think so but YOU decide
*by T***M on May 31, 2020*

Reviewing a knife like this can feel very difficult to do. The reasoning behind this difficulty is the fact that this knife was only $16 at the time of purchase. This is such a low price (and not a mora either) that they could have sent me a piece of unfiled metal sticking out of a handle and I could not really complain. So rather than “reviewing” it I will give my best description of the blade I received and let you discern whether or not you believe it is worth the money. I personally have 0 complaints, however if I payed approx $10 more I would be mildly upset with the issues in manufacturing this knife received. Let’s start out with blade sharpness: the blade comes sharpened out of the box. Although it’s not “razor” sharp like my moras are out of the box it is still deadly and not to be used as a toy. It won’t glide perfectly through a piece of paper but with a small amount of force it still sliced the paper cleanly. It could be sharper, I will have to take this thing to a grindstone then a whetstone and report back. Next thing I would like to address is the grind on the knife. This knife (at this price) can be assumed to be machine milled/ground rather than hand ground. My knife has the exact same grind defect I’ve seen in youtube reviews for the knife. The burr on the knife is not perfectly straight, it curves to the right and ends approx 1.5mm from the true sharpened point of the blade. In terms of functionality this has little effect as this knife is designed purely to stab things, not slice. The handle: the handle itself feels very good in the hand. It uses 2 real wooden plates that are held to the full tang of the blade with setting pins commonly found in older pocketknives and chef’s knifes. The handle itself feels high quality and sturdy in the hand, however closer inspection reveales that the tang of the knife sticks out about 0.5mm out from the wood plates all the way around the handle. This doesn’t bother me but a knife collector may want to grind down around the outside of the tang then polish it. This would level the tang with the wooden handle. Weight: this is a hearty n hefty little knife. It has a very good weight in the hand for the size of the knife. You won’t forget that this is on your persons however it remains light enough to not be a bother when sheathing and unsheathe. Would not make a good throwing weapon as the balance is way off from center of knife to the blade tip. Sheath: the sheath is just a crappy “tactical” sheath. I would have preferred a poly sheath like the ones that come with a Mora as this one catches the blade when quickly sheathing the knife. I tend to carry it without using the blade strap because it sits in there firmly enough to not fall out against the tension. I find I am able to deploy the knife in under a second when carrying this way. If I was doing physical activity such as running I would recommend strapping the knife into the sheath. This will drastically reduce your draw time. I prefer the “click in and snug” type of sheaths offered by Morakniv the most as they do not hold moisture and are extremely easy to deploy yet remain sturdy when running. The sheath that comes with this knife is belt loop only. Hope this review helps!
