In World War I, it was common for the Allies to carry trench knives for up-close combat. This black Sentry knife pays tribute to the trench knives of a century ago, with such features as a cast-metal handle, a 5-inch 420 stainless-steel blade, and a knuckle guard design for extra hand protection. The knife also comes with several carrying accessories, including a black nylon sheath, a fully adjustable nylon shoulder harness, a belt loop, a boot clip, and a quick-release blade insert. Available with a Spearpoint tip, the knife measures 9-1/2 inches overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing knife at very low price, April 21, 2009

I have very little to complain about with this knife. I absolutely love it and use it constantly. Not often would I rate a knife/sword 5 stars but this one is the real deal. Usually something could be better such as the sheath or handle but it simply is not the case with this knife. It shipped and arrived very quickly.

The Blade

It seems that the blade is one piece measuring 9 1/2 inches all along through the handle but I can't be sure of this. To say this knife is sturdy is an understatement. No matter what I use it for, whether I throw it at a tree or in the ground, it DOES NOT become loose. The knife is very very sharp right out of the box. In fact, I have had it for a few months now and have yet to sharpen it. The blade is made of a very high quality metal. It stands up to very high impact work without fault. It simply "feels" like a good combat knife should.

The Handle

The handle is as good of quality as the blade. The finger holes in it make it very very comfortable to use with either hand and holding the knife in the upright or down position. Whether you have big or small fingers. It is fitted in a way that if you were to stab a tree to hold it, it doesn't hurt your hand/fingers. I am able to wear gloves and still fit my fingers in it with ease.

The Sheath

The sheath is my favorite part of this knife. Not only are you able to use it as a shoulder sheath that you can wear underneath a coat completely concealed but you can wear it on your belt, your boot, or in a deep pocket. On top of that, the knife "clips" in it so that it stays in place at all times unless you want to remove it. Wearing it as a shoulder sheath is very very comfortable even with the heavy weight of the knife. It straps to your shoulder then completes the strap down to your pants holding it in place almost like suspenders. It is completely adjustable to fit any size torso/mid-section. As a belt sheath, it is very clever as you can have it strapped to the back of your belt with the knife going in to your back pocket concealed this way too because your shirt would naturally cover it. As a boot knife it's great because it has a metal piece that will hold it in place alone on your boot but you can also get a small comfortable strap for it to also to feed through where you would put your belt through it which straps it very very securely to your leg. Almost like having a belt on your calf. No matter whether you have it on your shoulder, belt or boot the sheath is made so that you can easily remove it for use. You typically will need to use two hands to remove it from the shoulder strap but is not inconvenient at all. I work 3rd shift which can be dangerous sometimes and wear this knife every night underneath my suit jacket and no one even knows I have a knife on me. I love the sheath.

If I was forced to find something wrong with this knife setup, I would have to say that it is a little heavy. However, heavy is good in my honest opinion. It shows quality. And even with it's a little above average weight, it is never uncomfortable to wear (and I wear suits to work) and the sheath never struggles to keep the knife safely inside of it.

Conclusion

If I could rate this knife higher I would and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a great self defense weapon, hunting knife, or just everyday knife for useful jobs around the house. Not to mention, for self defense, it is a very intimidating looking knife especially when you remove it from your shoulder. This knife was money very well spent. I own lots of knives and swords and this knife is among one of my favorites. I literally always carry it with me where I am allowed to.

Thanks for the great product.

I bought this as a christmas gift for my dad and now I want to keep it. There's no plastic, screws or anything to make this knife look like anything but bad-ass. I haven't used it for any rigorous tasks but the blade and handle are solid.

I bought this knife for a friend, and when I ordered it I didn't expect much. First off, I ordered it with other stuff, and it was definitely the fastest shipped item I had. It was shipped within hours of ordering, it got here around maybe 4-5 days early and even beat stuff on 2-day shipping when they said it would take a week. that really impressed me. When I opened the box, It looked amazing. A very high quality knife, there was some glue on the handle that I can't seem to ever get off but luckily It's barely noticable. The knife is about 1/8 inch thick, which is very good for a knife of any kind. The knuckles have sort of a rounded, yet pointed edge, which doesn't really affect its performance but makes the knife look very good. and the holster does an amazing job of holding the knife, it feels lose on you though. a great accessory especially since its free. Over all i am very impressed with this trench knife and I would reccomend anyone to buy it.
