Great EDC/Self Defense Tool

The sheath clips on easily to a belt, has great retention, and conceals the knife easily under just a t-shirt. The knife is just the right size, and feels great in hand.
Nice item

Absolute perfect size. Just wish they had a deep carry pocket clip!
It’s great!

This certain knife looks scary, easy to clip onto pants, belt, etc. and easy to grip. As far as I’m concerned, great for EDC and self defense.
EDC for days

90% reccomend but I wouldn't pull it out in public because it does look pretty serious..
I work at a Tire place opening boxes and doing hard work all day. This thing can take some serious work and keep on going
FEELS AMAZING in the hand because of the handle shape where the index finger goes and its for right handed and left handed people too!
Shealth is molded and feels great to take out and put back in with a solid clunk for feed back its locked into place. great belt clip aswell.
Sharpness isn't hair shaving sharp but definately skin flaking sharp and will impress you greatly with zip ties and stuff like that.
Sharpens real nice and will stay sharp for a long time.

I have three of these knives in different colors and one with serrated blade. They are on my belt and pack every time I deploy for disaster recovery. Great for self defense and general use too.
Amazing self defense

I love everything about this little fixed blade! The sheath and clip are awesome and allow you to mount the knife on your belt where you need it. The ergonomics of the knife make it feel natural and comfortable in your hand. For self defense this is a great knife and I use it in my edc rotation very often.
Great

This knife is one of my favorite EDC blades ever. It’s easy to conceal (if you want to) and super easy to remove from the sheath once clipped to your waist.
Nice knife
