MTech USA – Fixed Blade Knife –Black Stainless Steel Blade, Green Cord Wrapped Handle, Full Tang, Includes Nylon Sheath - Hunting, Camping, Survival, Tactical, EDC – MT-528C, Small

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The knife was very sharp out of the box but I had only one problem it didn't come will sheath.

The knife itself it what I would call, "A good knife", but I'd also say, "The sheath is not".Now the sheath is not pure-D junk, but, each time that you remove the knife and place it back into the sheath, it slices more and more of the insides of the sheath.For me, I could care less, I can always make a sheath or something, I knew going in just by looking at it online and, by the Reviews, (thank you, Reviewers) that the sheath was not what I would think of as a keeper.I just removed the knife from the sheath again and each time that I do, it's a struggle, it is that tight, I mean, a literal struggle...The knife is what I was paying for anyway, I like it fine. If you are a knife snob, then you would know immediately by reading and seeing it online what it is, and what it isn't. :)While the edge was not super sharp, it did cut paper, but it was a forced action, really, almost, but not quite sawing it.I can't give a report at all on the longevity of the blade itself, of course, since I just received it in the mail. (On Sunday, I might add)The amount that these cost, these are definitely worth that, even if it lasts only a year of semi-use, they are not at all junk. It may not hold its edge that long either, but, again, at these prices, if you are expecting a big name brand knife, you would know something's up.The weight of it, like has been said, is really pretty decent, it feels good in the hand.Also, like someone here said, that is NOT real paracord, it's VERY rinky-dink. I mean, it doesn't hurt anything being on there, but it is almost half the diameter of actual paracord, so I plan on replacing it with the real deal.(At the very least, if it is "real paracord", it's a very cheap rendition of it)My only reasoning to replace the cord will be the 'feel' that real paracord will give it due to more girth, and, some cushion, not that cushion is needed.The balance is good on the knife, too.If you are a camper and like to use a knife to start fires using a ferro rod kit, this should work fine, I just tried it and it worked REALLY well, so there's that. That does remove the black paint that is on the knife though.You should be happy enough if you buy this, just by reading the Reviews you will learn what is, and what isn't, so that is a very helpful thing.I only removed one star due to the sheath not being more quality. Not just that, but, it's so tight that is the main reason that the blade cuts into it.After reading ALL of the Reviews, buy with confidence! :)

Great knife for it’s type. Great price. I bought 3 to put in my gear, glove box, emergency bag, etc. I use it more than the expensive bush craft knife that I bought earlier. I made new sheaths for the knives. You can’t go wrong with this knife. Durable and holds a nice edge.

I misplaced (lost) my usual camping knife, so I wanted a replacement.I wanted a decent size, and a low profile. I'm accustomed to a slim EDC, and I prefer a quick deploy when I'm in the sticks.This feels very comfortable. I saw a review or two mentioning it's good for larger hands. As a manlet, I can say it's comfortable in hobbit hands.I am an absolute neophyte in sharpening, but I was able to improve the blade easily. But again, it's for camping. I'm not shaving with it or cutting through Kevlar.What else to say? I like that shade of green.Especially for the price, I don't think this can be beat.

This is a cheap knife. You pay cheap knife prices, you get a cheap knife.With that being said, however, that does not make it a bad knife.Pros:- good balance- paracord grip is comfortable- Sturdy- If it really is 440c, its a decent steelCons:- Was NOT sharp out of the box, had to spend some time on the blade to get it to cut paper- Looks like it was ground by a 3 year old- none of the edges that are not the cutting edge are beveled or even deburred, they literally just cut the knife out of a chunk of steel and put an edge on itNow, if you set your expectations correctly, its a pretty good knife. I bought it just to be a camp beater and it will fill that role nicely. I won't care if I break it or lose it, and won't feel bad abusing it.This is not a blade I would trust my life to in a survival scenario, but for basic camping needs, it should get the job done. If you can get it for $10 I think its worth that, but I would have been disappointed if I paid $20. I set my expectations accordingly so I am overall pleased with the knife.

I love knives, and that gets expensive. I love scouring for budget knives, and they often make trade offs with there budget. I was expecting this knife to be light, poorly made, and with bad steel. I was wrong. The steel keeps an edge surprisingly well and doesn’t chip while sharpening like some cheap steel. The blade is hefty enough to feel solid, but weighted near perfectly in the center, and every edge other than the blade was smooth and powder coated(or painted a lot). Out of the box is was underwhelming dull, but sharped very quickly. I feel in love with this knife very fast and would highly recommend it to anyone, no matter the budget.

$13 is cheap. You can't expect all that much. Good: the blade material is machined well, with an even surface finish. I like how thin the blade is. It balances nice. Bad: The factory Edge is not very sharp. The sheath is kind of trash. The rivets are so narrow that the blade must drag against the rivets when sheathing.

This is a pretty cool little knife for a reliable camping/survival pack addition. Solid, good weight, blade is sharp out of the box and the cord grip is ergonomically very comfortable for people with larger hand sizes. Worth every penny in my opinion.
