C1293 Outdoor Survival Claw Knife,D2 Steel Blade,Stainless Steel Handle Fixed Blade Knife With Sheath for Outdoor Survival,Hiking,Camping(Black)

This is a nice little budget last ditch self defense item. It's reasonably sharp, comes with a good kydex sheath that is adjustable, and the price point is more than fair.The biggest complaint many will have is due to the small size of the knife, it is not designed to be gripped like a traditional karambit where pointer finger goes through the hole and the blade pointed downward.This one is clearly designed for a two-fingered grip. Given the decent sharpness, you really don't want to get the meat of your hand near the edge. It's VERY pointy, but the edge is keen enough to pay you open too. I have found that drawing and holding the knife in a reverse grip as normal works best. However, I put my ring finger through the hole and let my little finger rest in the choil. While clearly not as strong of a grip as having an entire handle, it's stable and easy enough to draw, clinch, and slash with the edge. You won't have the power to lay someone open, but in a situation where you are attacked and lack the leverage to stroke, this pointy little claw jammed into whatever soft bits you can find will be plenty effective.The steel is labeled as D2...I dunno if that is true. For the activity designed to perform, it's plenty fine.

It is a wonderful size and shape to open boxes.

Great quality, for the money, but design is a bit flawed. There is no Great way to hold comfortably.

The kinfe and sheath are a value.

This little knife is exactly what I was looking for. I needed a fixed blade easily pocket carriable knife with a secure sheath yet still easily accessible. Two things to know; if you like a shaving sharp edge, you'll need to do a little work on a sharpening stone and some break in on the sheath is required to reach the right of tension to make access easy while still keeping the knife secure until you need it.

Will buy again

My package came in and this was the only one missing from the ones I ordered I got a bunch of all metal knives for knife play for the violet wand and was excited to use them but this one was missing. Can’t wait to try it though. At least I ordered a few more

Great edc blade but the sheath clip needs to be refined. Doesn’t hold well
