2.0 out of 5 stars From an actual combat soldier, this is dissapointing!, September 30, 2009

Ok this wasn't what I expected. First the good: I've only just recieved this but it seems to be well built. No loose parts or flimsy construct.
However...
This is a much heavier knife then I thought. It is not practical for combat use. But it would make a hell of a heavy duty kitchen knife.
There are no rubber inserts, or if the inserts are rubber, its a very hard rubber that doesn't help at all with the grip. So keep in mind that the grip isnt so great (not terrible, do to the shape, but not especially comfortable or slip proof).
The knife did not arrive very sharp, though with some work I'm sure it'll be just fine.
About the sheath, besides for being cheaply made (I'm sure it'll fall apart after some use), it has a 'safety' latch that keeps the knife in, but makes it very hard to unsheath.
So bottom line; It is a heavy duty knife that is not badly made. The sheath is junk though. It's a decent price, but not if you want it for army use. I would not take it into combat with me. It may be good for hunting though since I'm not a hunter, I don't know for sure.

First let me say that I bought 2 knives from two different retailers and this knife from United Cutlery showed up 3 or 4 days after I ordered it, and the other hasn't even left yet. United Cutlery was awesome. The knife is very well built and solid throughout the entire blade. Like most, it could use a bit of sharpening to fine tune it. All in all a very useful and durable knife with good balance. Well worth the $$$$

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Knife, April 11, 2009

However; it does not come particularly sharp. This is the only reason it would not get a 5 star review from me. Sharpening, however, is rather easy, or if you wish to get it done professionally, rather cheap.

I would give this product more of a 4.5 star review than 5, but I decided to round it up.

It's surprisingly large, even from the description. I remember, receiving this as a Christmas gift, how startlingly long it actually is. After some time of getting used to it, the initial surprise will wear off.

If sharpened a bit more, this knife is an excellent tool; capable, if the need should arise, of defensive properties rivaling that of more expensive, Military grade combat knives.

I would recommend this knife even if it cost twice as much, since sharpening is not expensive in the slightest.
