Pros & Cons
Pros
A few minutes with a sharpener on the swedge to remove the coating reveals a sharpened 2. Blade. The tanto blade shape, the short hollow grind, and the sharpened-but-coated swedge makes for a good fighter.
These knives are one of the most rugged, resilient knives i've ever owned. A whetstone and oil and this knife is supremely durable. If your looking for a general purpose knife that you can put your trust in for a price that want * of the wife, this is... Read More
The sheath is descent and holds the knife snuggly. Its sheer length and girth are a clear and present danger to anyone nearby. Very well made solid plastic shank holder.
Cons
The tip is incredibly sharp, a good thing, except that it's the thinnest tip i've seen on anything but a pen knife. And it's so long it significantly worsens your leverage when cutting tough material. They forgot to temper the steel in my knife. Ended... Read More
There was no metal inside the sheath whatsoever. The blade was actually being dulled by the plastic sheath itself.
Here's another boo boo. The price is good but the quality is not. Worthless *. Pure trash imo.
Highlights
Quality
Satisfied with the product especially after the modifications
Wearing shorts i put it on my belt and put the remainder in my right short pocket and it fit well with the shirt over it undetected
Each about 2 or 3 years between production no significant differences in appearance performance or quality
Price
Cold steel at this price is a steal
One of the best things about this knifes price is you wont be afraid to make it your own with some customization
I can see getting a few of these at this crazy price just to stash around
Shipping
I keep it close to me for anything that i need to do the job fast and efficient
Packaging/appearance
Decent edge out of the box comfortable enough sizable
A few minutes with a sharpener on the swedge to remove the coating reveals a sharpened 2
The coating does scratch off but lasts longer than others with a similar coating
Competitiveness
Threw some paracord on the sheath for look as well as utility
That said the gi tanto cant be beat as a fighting knife for the price
Im looking for a thick micarta replacement now
I have many knives of various types brands and price points all of them higher than this one
