MTECH USA Fixed Blade Knife, TiNite Coated Stainless Steel Blade with Black ABS Handle, Includes Black Nylon Sheath - Hunting, Camping, Survival, Tactical, EDC (Grey)

To parrot my subject line - It's the year 2019 and this knife is $10. Pretty darned good quality for $10. Heck the sheath is worth at least $5. I don't know if it the luck of the draw or what, but other than the nice not quite needle sharp tip, my knifes edge came kindergarten safe butter knife dull. Not a complaint, just an observation. I expect to have to sharpen knives, especially budget priced ones. I did not cut or melt the handle off BUT: The blade runs almost to the end of the handle, past that grommet for the lanyard hole. Almost positive it's one stamped piece of metal without welds. Not "technically" FULL Tang, because for knives (not swords) that means the tang is one piece of metal with the blade, of the the same width of the blade for the full length if the knife. Since the handle is narrower than the blade, it's not "Full" Tang. Also "Technically", because of the plastic covering the handle end this knife would cause it to be be an Encapsulated Tang with a possible Taper ( I know - picky, picky, picky but that seems to be what the internet is all about. P.S. - The blade is all the metal including the sharpened "Edge"). I checked mine with two magnets ( the first magnet was a bit strong, so I used the second to prevent over-pull) I got magnetism all the way to the rear end past the grommet to air. So I'm calling it 11+ inches of solid metal out of the 11.25 inches overall length. So "Nice" and "Sweet!". But for all intents and purposes and normal usage- Yes, the Blade is Full Tang, quite long ( as in the blade runs from pointy tip all through under the handle) and for $10 I'm pretty impressed. A nice solid tent peg. And since I said that, This is NOT a Camping/Bushcraft/Survival Knife. Almost any knife from your kitchen or decent pocket knife would fill that role much better. I have and use the military version of The Boy Scout pocket knife; an Mil-K-818 along a quality machete. The duo which has served me well for over 40 years of camping, yard work, and stupidity. Double bladed knives and camping, etcetera do not mix. The great outdoors or emergencies are no place for thumb injuries and another emergency. But I like my new $10 knife. Worth the $10.

I struggled with how to rate this. This was a completely impractical impulse buy that I think I paid $10 or less for. For the price the quality is decent. It came sharp but not razor sharp. The sheath is ok and has some sort of a plastic insert. The clip is cheap sheet metal but is functional. The handle is on the small side. If you want a knife that is a homage to the early special forces knives at a low cost it fits the bill.

I like this knife a lot. I got two of these. The edges are not extremely sharp but the bladed edges are sharpened. I wouldn't want to be hit in a slicing motion. My hands would fit best in a size between small and medium for nitrile gloves, and the grip size seems good. It could be a little small if your hands are a lot bigger. I like the idea of a double edged knife so I don't have to think about which side is the cutting edge. Normally, the cutting edge for your task would be pointing forward when you are looking forward, but for my intended purposes the cutting edge probably needs to be pointing towards me but could also be away. The thumb snap on the sheath is a little difficult for me to unsnap with one hand.

I took a chance on this inexpensive knife despite the mixed reviews. Overall I am quite satisfied with my purchase. The knife is pretty well balanced. Might be a bit heavy in the tip but certainly manageable. The blade, while not extremely sharp, took about 10 minutes to make serviceable and sharp enough for my needs. Made of somewhat thick stainless steel, it seems like it will hold a good edge. Certainly will be easily enough to keep sharp. The handle, while a bit short, fits my hand fine. May not fit every bodies but for my needs, it works great. The sheath is OK, a bit flimsy but certainly usable. I may make a new leather sheath for the knife at some point but for not the included sheath will work fine. Overall, for less that $11 delivered, I can not complain. Reviews to date were pretty accurate and with my expectations in check, I am quite happy with the knife I received.

Perfect specimen of a knife. Bought to use in garden for eeed removal and this baby after hitting rocks hasn’t even lost the tip.

Expectations determine satisfaction--for the price, I didn't expect a Randall or Cold Steel product. Call me a knife snob, but I regard knives as expendable equipment. Usually the difference in performance between a $50 knife and a $500 knife is so small that the more expensive blade isn't cost effective. And then there's the $5000 knives. I purchased this for under $10 from Amazon and this is what I got: Balance point is 3/4ths of an inch in front of the cross guard Weight is 5.6 ounces (with another 2 ounces for the sheath) Blade is 7" long, 1" wide and 1/4" thick Blade length is almost the same as the Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Dagger Tang? I can't determine tang length Handle material feels slick but grooved handle allows secure grip Handle is 3.75" long, contoured, about an inch wide and a half-inch thick Handle size matches many popular boot knives including Gerber's famous Mk I boot dagger I regard the sheath to be flimsy and if I were using this as a combat knife I'd make a better one The sheath has a usable belt loop that fits trouser belts but wide gun belts are too big Sheath snap-fastened safety strap okay for most use but will fail under heavy use Clip on sheath okay for occasional use but will fail under moderate use ** Though advertised as "sharp" it doesn't meet my standard for "sharp." I will need to work on the edge. The spear point appears sturdier than the FS Commando Dagger. I'd rate this as good as many military issue combat knives--low bid manufacture and all. Some regard it wasteful to have very sharp fighting knives because after a few stabs the edges and point get dull and nicked--yes, but sharp means easier penetration for the first few critical stabs. The 7" blade is harder to wear than the 5" blade of the Gerber Mk I (and multiple clones) and may not give any advantage over the shorter blade. This design is specifically for fighting--it's not a field knife, not a utility knife, not a survival knife. *** Many knife fighting styles prefer handle heavy, with the balance point just behind the crossguard. This dagger is blade heavy with the balance point about 0.75" in front of the crossguard. Preferences vary. A paracord lanyard can be threaded through the hole in the handle to prevent loss. This knife is cheap enough to buy two or three--the problem becomes how and where on the person this is carried. An infantry soldier's belt is usually overloaded--and today's body armor carriers may be the load bearing harness, too. Painting the handle and possibly the blade are okay--who would paint their $500 knife?

I consider Mtech knives to sub budget knives and this one didn't do anything to change my opinion. However I gave it 4 stars because it sharpened up nicely and it would come in handy as a one shot defensive weapon. The grind was not symmetrical and the angles were way off. There are better daggers to be had for just a few more dollars. With all the good budget knives on Amazon, I recommend you check them out before you buy this knife. I'm going to keep it but it will go to the bottom of my knife drawer.

I like this knife. The handle is a little slender for large hands. That's about all I can find to pick about it. I like the 5mm thick blade with a subdued titanium finish. I like the ribbed handle for grip and it's textured as well. It has a light but sturdy feel. It's not extremely sharp out of the box but then again it's a dagger made for thrusting. I have a couple of MTech knives now that I really like and have an Ontario knife that I just bought on Amazon. I'm not saying they compare but I think they fill a useful niche in my collection. For the under $10 price I think it would be a good knife for anyone who's into knives and it wouldn't be an embarrassment to own. Oh, yes, and the nylon sheath seems well fitting plus it has a belt loop and a boot clip. Pretty nice.

Very satisfied with this knife, great quality for the cost. Had a minor issue with the delivery but was quickly resolved by Knife Head Jack. Great customer service to go along with a great product, I would happily do business with them again.

Es muy bueno y resistente,se ve de buena calidad.Amazon lo envio a tiempo y muy bien empacado.

Excelente filo por muy buen precio. :D

Por el precio bajo tenía mis dudas, tiene un par de detalles, el filo trae unas pequeñas muescas, nada grave y le falta un pequeño pedazo en la empuñadura cómo se aprecia en la foto, la funda cumple su función si llegar a ser especial, es un cuchillo vitrinero
