MTECH USA MT-588 Fixed Blade Knife Series

Great Knife for conceal carry around neck, however the chain supplied with this knife is junk. It will break super easy. So I went online and researched and ordered 6 or 7 different black 3.0mm chains. I found one I liked that was 3.2mm and fits the holes on the knife case well and the chain is durable. You may want to reconsider paracord because someone could use it against you to choke you. This chain will break away but you need force! Much better than the chain they sent with knife. The chain we ordered was 3.2mm (Glossy Black) and has a nice coating which makes the chain feel better around your sweaty neck.Look for the following chain set on Amazon:2.4-4mm Stainless Steel Black Ball Chain Necklace for Men Women, 3Pcs Beaded Military Chains for Men, Dog Tag Chain Necklaces Set, 18-30 InchWe chose the 30" length which fit perfectly with perfect placement for both me and my wife when wearing this conceal carry knife under or above your clothing on both male and female. (ages 57 & 61) (5' 5" and 5' 8"). I tried about 6 or 7 different dog chains and the above link worked perfectly. Now there are three chains in the kit for whichever size you order (We ordered 30"). the larger 3.2mm chain worked and felt the best of ALL our choices. Looked the best and was the most durable while remaining flexible for use as a neck knife. Great for the wife when she goes on walks and great for me as a backup knife. With the above dog tag chain (in same black color) it looks nice and you forget it is there. Hope this helps others who love the knife but hate the chain!

Wow. For the price this is a great knife for low profile self defense readiness. I mean regardless of the price it’s still a great knife. Small and slim so I can easily clip it to my pocket or wear it around my neck with the included chain. The knife cover also hold the knife very snugly and securely while still being accessible for when it’s pulled from the sheath with intention. While walking to and from my car I can discreetly hold this knife safely in my hand and place it back safely in my pocket without anyone the wiser. I hope I never have to use this knife for self defense. But if I do, I’m glad to know it’s a good knife that’s reasonably sharp and definitely portable.

Excellent blade and sharpness. Grip is way too short! I attached a Paracord loop to help grab and grip the knife.Another 1-1/2 to 2-1/2” added to the grip would be perfect for me but I’ll deal with it. As a utility light weight neck knife or last ditch pokey slice knife it will definitely do the job. I very well might add some monkey tape to add to the grip. Once you get your index finger through it, you’re good to go. Just be aware it is super small.Considering taking a little off the sheath for better grabability. Chain could be a little longer too.

great size. build quality is great. good grip. very good value

Quality , for a nice price

You couldn’t slash water with this thing. The blade is very dull and doesn’t gradually come to a point. The tip or spear is relatively sharp but overall if i was using this for defense I wouldn’t feel confident. I would recommend a normal fixed blade knife or a decent punch dagger. This thing looks cool but is not super effective for any sort of knife wielding defense.Don’t mean to bad mouth it this thing is just not sharp and is impossible to sharpen with the way it’s designed. Hard to explain but this should only be used to stab someone and even then it’s not the most effective.If you like knives and cool looking ones at that, then this is your piece!

I needed a sharp smaller blade with a sheath that had a clip. This is perfect size, nice and sharp, bonus of finger hole placement, double bonus of sheath having a chain that can be removed or added when needed. I would have liked to get the black one instead but this one is very pretty.

It’s really a great knife and well made. I recommend putting your pinky in the hole and wrap your fist around the knife if your ever in a situation when you need to use it. So there is no way they will be able to grab it from you or else they will get sliced since it’s a double edge. I don’t like holding it with the index finger because what if they grab your arm and turn the knife around at you, if they are able to overpower you. So I recommend holding it the way I mentioned. It is very sharp at the tip and even the sides will still slice you open but they could use a little sharpening. It’s a great knife it’s a must have to carry around your neck. It’s not heavy at all. It was difficult putting the knife in and out the sheath at first but now it’s warn in And super easy pulling out.
