5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bargin, October 30, 2008

This review is from: Smith & Wesson CKMAR Cuttin'' Horse Hawkbill Knife with Marlin Spike (Tools & Home Improvement)

Alright i own a few knives and this is a great bargin at around 10 bucks. The hawkbill blade was well beveled from the factory and didn't take long for me to put on my own custom edge (which wasn't neccessary) but its something i've always done. The marlin spike works very well to break knots apart or seperate the braids in rope to tuck the loose strands back through. The blade locks decently but sideways pressure can make it slip free. This knife is a worker that you wouldn't mind given to a young kid and worry about the chance of loosing it.
Blade steel takes a edge very well and holds it very well cosidering its not a high end more expensive steel.

Great knife and you won't go mad if you loose it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Work knife, December 28, 2008

A good basic work knife that I bought primarily for the spike. It is not a "high quality" knife; but a work knife. The blade does seem soft so I don't expect it to hold an edge for long, but it is easy to sharpen.
Basically "fair quality for a fair (cheap) price". When it is no longer usable, it will be no big deal to throw it away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best priced marlin spike knife on the market!, June 13, 2008

This is a solidly built knife of stainless steel. Great for working with rope, and excellent for opening boxes. Both the spike and the blade lock.
It holds an edge well. Other marlin spike knives cost between $40 and $75.
Excellent value.
