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 knife that I would recommend to someone looking for a boot knife.

You aren't paying a good $100 for this knife, and you can feel the sacrifice in quality. However, if you're hitchiking or trainhopping or just generally being in parts of town where your chance of getting mugged is increased- this piece will come to your aid just fine.
Knife arrives sharp, too. Not exactly razor sharp, but if you need razor sharp, buy a razor.
