5/5 this is the real deal

The quality of the knife is excellent. Blade comes sharp but I sharpened it more. The handle is a little short if you have large hands but it’s manageable. The sheath is constructed of very stiff glass filled plastic and the belt clip is super stiff but you want it to be so that it mounts to your belt securely. The firm click you get when sheathing the dagger assures you’ve secured the knife. Highly recommend.

Excellent, small self defense blade. Not super comfortable carrying against skin but any other way

Perfect little left hand knife to wear next to your concealed carry. The sheath is made well enough and retains the blade well. I have smaller hands and the handle seems to fit well. I could imagine the front of the handle-choil might bite if you really wrench into something, but I haven’t experienced this yet. Blade steel is a reasonable and sharp option so long as you use the knife for what it’s intended for.
