Nice knife
This knife has a good weight and feel. It is a little small, but that is good for a knife that will be concealed in a boot. The guard is barely wider than the sheath and not as wide as my hand when holding it. The balance point is just below the guard, if that matters to you.
The blade is black, which makes for easier stealth. It was already sharpened when it arrived, not razor sharp, but sharp enough.
The sheath is thick and solid, which is a good thing since you don't want the knife cutting right through it. The snap for the strap that holds the knife in is easy to undo with your thumb. Moving the strap out of the way with your thumb to pull the knife out one handed may take a little getting used to. But it is easier than some knives I have used. The clip on the sheath is solid and strong. Though I would have preferred it up higher so the knife sits farther down in the boot. But then you would have to reach further into your boot to release it.
It is a good...
I've owned three of these (so far)..
I think this is an excellent knife, particularly for the price. A little on the large side for a boot knife, but it does fit nicely over/under the waistband.
As mentioned, I have owned three of these knives so far..the first two were sold by Amazon directly. Really surprising, nice finish, good edge right out of the box..the third, not so much.
The last one was from an Amazon supplier called "NORAM INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS, LTD"
It arrived unboxed (in a non-sealed plastic bag) the black coating on the blade was the antithesis of "nice." Remember the black crinkle paint everyone used to squirt on their engine parts back in the seventies? That's what this blade looks like it was finished with..to add insult to injury, it's got an edge that feels like it was laid on with a bench grinder, and there's "crinkle paint" overspray on the handle.
Methinks I got a counterfeit, no friggin' WAY this thing could have gotten by quality control at a real manufacturer..
Anyway...
