Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
You can use this steel any way you'd like, but this was designed as a weapon, plain and simple. (Not to say that ANY knife COULDN'T be a weapon...) And for the price, a very nice one! The integrated "brass"(die-cast zinc) knuckles are an awesome feature, providing you don't punch out any stone-hard surface with it. Real brass will bend, whereas "die cast" (or commonly called "pot metal") will crack or break... From reading the reviews/descriptions it's easy to tell these are not mass produced by the thousands, as each sounds a little different from the others, including the one I received. My "simulated wood" grip panels are a solid color of brown plastic, not looking much like "wood", and the die-cast zinc handle assembly is a bronze color and looks to be dipped in a clear protective coating. The piece is very well made and feels and looks very solid. I purchased mine for display, but it seems well made enough to stand up to whatever task it's asked to perform. To conclude, this is a good buy and a nice piece of cutlery. Also, the sheath I received with my piece is made of nylon with a plastic insert, rather than the sheath that's pictured in the ad. It's well made and stout enough to carry the knife securely, it's just not the one they show with it. This is of no consequence to me since I will be displaying it without the sheath, but it may be of consideration to others.
