Supplies 9" Wood Handle Boot Knife with Stainless Steel Blade, Brass Guard, Pommel, and Clip-On Sheath - Tactical and Everyday Carry

These knives seem to be crafted by amateurs, but I support amateur craftsmen. The blade needs sharpening and reshaping, but it arrived tightly fitted. The materials used are adequate quality and with some effort this can be made into a good lightweight knife for the money. How sturdy is this knife? The blade is 3 millimeters thick and has a rat tail tang.

Like most people that ordered this knife I was not impressed. The tip was broken off and the blade was very dull. Unfortunately I did not read the reviews before I ordered it. The pommel guard was chipped around the blade. If I can find the time I will have to spend a couple hours straightening, and grinding this butter knife into something that might pass as some kind of weapon. This knife is a piece of garbage.

Just fine for the price. It is made crooked, the handle is a bit loose, and I had to put a whole new edge on both sides. The sheath works well-stays put on your boot over as many miles as you can walk. I bought this for a cheap boot knife for hiking. You can abuse it all you want and not feel bad. It is a good size for me and the grip is comfortable. The price is right.

The boot knife it's self is not bad at all for the blade is sharpish with a stone you can get it quite sharp. The balance is good. The guard, wood handle, and pommel are all fit on nice and snug. Knife feels good in my hand. The sheath is the bad it is paper thin. The clip on the sheath is worthless for it unbent when I tried slipping into my boot top. When I put the knife in the sheath I found that the fit is bad to non-existent for the sheath depth, length, and width are all sized to a bigger blade. It should fit nice and snug and not flop a round. The locking strap didn't work and broke when I tried to snap it closed. Overall I am happy with the knife not the sheath, the price is good. I don't know if I can give it more than three stars for half of the product is useless. Again I say the knife is well done and I like it, it will come in real handy as a back up knife for that unexpected time.

Cheap, bends easily, will not take or hold an edge, there is practically no tang, sheath clip is class may and cheap. But it will do what it's made for I guess. If you want a neat conversation piece that is cool to look at, this is for you. If you actually want an affordable boot knife to carry, look at Smith and Wesson's boot knives. Overall you get what you pay for. What more could you want for an $8 boot knife.

This knife is made of mostly natural materials (Brass, Oak, and Steel). They are cheap materials not well refined. The blade is set crooked in the handle and the tang is loose. The color of the handle is unfinished. Just overall a very amateur knife build. But I will give them the benefit of the doubt and say the materials seem to be good just poorly assembled and made.

SOFT blade! Handle is lopsided. Blade is not centered in handle. The worst fit and finish I have seen. I'm not returning the knife because I'm seeing what improvements I can make to it, So far not much improvement. I'll update. Update 1: I sanded the knife with 500 grit paper and stained the handle. The handle and brass look a lot better. The blade is very soft so it is easy to work on. I'm going to polish the blade and see if there is enough metal to improve the profile. Update 2: I reprofiled the blade the best I could but it still looks rough. Polishing only made the defects more obvious so I'm now thinking about painting the blade black with krinkle paint. A unique letter opener? Still can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear! Update 3: I worked on the handle and guard and it is now easier to hold. I added epoxy to the blade tang where it attaches to the guard. The epoxy has stiffened the blade a bit. I'm thinking bright red paint for visibility and using this in the garage for light tasks. Update 4: I Added more epoxy to the tang (on both sides) and made a "trail" of epoxy half way up the center of the blade (again on both sides). The blade does not move at all now. I have some bright red, extra high gloss, spray paint and will paint the entire knife for visibility and use the knife in the garage.
