FOR THE MONEY THIS KNIFE IS ALMOST UNBEATABLE. THE PLASTIC SCABBERD IS WHAT.IS NEED FOR SERIOUS OUTDOOR WORK OR MILITARY USE. I BOUGHT ONE FOR MYSELF AND SOON AFTER BOUGHT 5 MORE FOR MY PEOPLE!

Its ok. Its a full tang and seems to be of somewhat decent quality. The hand could use an upgraded version, definitely not impressed at all with the factory handle so I made my own. I have many knives SOG, Kershaw, cold steel, kbar...I love the style of blade, the length is perfect for all around especially hand to hand techniques (MCMAP). Overall, its not bad and I would purchase again if needed to

Solid, balanced, feels great in the hand, looks bad a**, & is sharp with an edge that doesn't give up easily. Great outdoors man's blade.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT GIFT TO PRESENT TO A HS. / UNIV. GRAD. CANNOT THINK OF A BETTER GIFT TO PRESENT TO YOUR "BEST MAN" OR GROOMSMEN WHEN YOU GET MARRIED. PRESENT ONE TO A MIL-REC. WHO GRADS. "BOOTCAMP" / POLICE ACADEMY--OORAH !!! THIS BLADE IS MOST EXCELLENT FOR USE AS "ARTISTIC EXPRESSION" TO MAKE IT TRULY UNIQUE BLADE WHICH REFLECTS YOUR PERSONALITY.....DON'T LIKE THE WHITE LETTERING ???? SPRAY PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU DESIRE !!!! .....DON'T LIKE THE GRIP SCALES ???? THEN DO SOME SIMPLE MODS. TO THOSE GRIPS, MAKE SOME NEW ONES, CORD WRAP OVER THEM, OR REMOVE & DO A CLASSICAL "STRIDER WRAP" AROUND THE TANG...I READ MANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS / COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AWESOME DESIGN AS IT COMES OUT OF THE BOX !!!! THE COMPLAINTS ARE TOTALLY UNFOUNDED, UNDESERVING, & EASY TO CORRECT. IT IS VERY UNFAIR TO NOT RESPECT WHAT THE DESIGN CLEARLY INTENDS & THE VAST MAJORITY OF COMPLAINTS SEEM TO BE PRIMARILY "COSMETIC" IN NATURE !!!!! SEE SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE ???? THEN MAKE WHATEVER CHANGE MAKES YOU HAPPY, BUT PLEASE STOP THE WHINING !!!!!!!--------SEMPER FI & OORAH !!!!!! (A VERY HAPPY C-S CUSTOMER FOR THE PAST 40 YRS.
