MTech USA MT-20-30 Series Fixed Blade Neck Knife, Drop Point Blade, G10 Handle, 4-3/4-Inch Overall

This little knife is descent. It came very sharp as evidence by the gash on my finger and it will do some everyday tasks very well. For people in certain cities where (gravity knives) are and issue this is completly legal period. It is small but it is serviceable for edc tasks and although it is cheap.....well so is a mora but an excellent knife just the same. No it is not a survival knife but it is a tool that has it's place and the neck knife role is where it lies. I have used mine often and have yet to resharpen it and once around my neck it totally disapears it is super light but very strong. I generally use small knives in the outdoors, I personally feel safer using them and I feel like I have alot more control and this little knife is a perfect complement to a 3 and a half to 4 inch sharp. Normally I have always run away from anything stamped mtech but I am happy I gave this one a look because as for this product tgwy stepped up their game. No the g10 is not the grippiest, no the steel is not the best but it cost 9.00 people and it is a usable piece of kit. My kydex sheath fit fine retention is ok to good and rhe ball chain has held up. One note and I will shut up..that funky spine dip at the blades tip is for finger placement(YES ALOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT)but alot of people dont know and may think it to be a flaw in the blade. Also not a childrens knife it is not a toy!!!!!!

First off, I ordered this knife based off the price and somewhat good reviews as a test platform to see if I am a neck knife person, it would seem I am not. It does deploy quicker then a folder clipped to my pocket but not by much. Also, when out in public, I need to hide it under my shirt, slowing down how fast the knife can be drawn. A much larger folding knife can be clip in your pocket and no one thinks twice but hang a tiny blade around your neck and people look at you like you’re a crazy person. Others may have different experiences but for me, except for tactical or deep concealment scenarios, it’s not worth it. I intend to keep it as a handy little knife in the garden shad for when I’m out there without a blade. Please note that my opinion of neck knives has no barring on the rating given.The knife itself is a fun little thing, although you can’t truly appreciate how small it is till you hold it. Adding a small tether to the back is a must, for both control and helps prevent over gripping the knife when drawing, which can lead to your forefinger on the sharp edge. I gutted paracord about an inch from the end to thread through, then timed off the gutted part. The holes are very small. Replace the chain with cordage or a heavier ball chain, the supplied one is to light and tends to undo itself. It came with an ok edge, touched up fine but I’m not in love with the steal, however not bad for $9.00 and free shipping. The finger grove helps with grip but is very small causes a pretty good hotspot the working on heavier tasks, it can be a little uncomfortable. The sheath is great, well made and secure. Lots of modification options for carry, as others have detailed. As a southpaw, I love the fact that it’s not only ambidextrous but the etching it is on the left side (at least on mine). That doesn’t matter at all, but it is a vanity that I really experience. Overall thought on the knife is: not a bad find for the money, ok steal, fun little size.Please see the photos to help compare size. Also the cutting ability next to my EDC, the Spyderco Tenacious. The Spyderco of course did better but I was surprised how well the Microtech did with much cheaper steal.

The media could not be loaded. good little knife. this knife has a pretty good feel just a little small but i knew the size when i ordered. i got this for just a little solid knife to go with my camping gear. its small in size and lightweight so it can easily go anywhere. it came packaged well inside plastic in its own box. the sheath is nice hard formed plastic that grips the knife amazingly well. it snaps in very well and wont come out when slung around. the metal bead necklace is ok but i wouldnt wear this around my neck. i took it off. it did cross my mind though that due to the size of this knife and its sheath with the holes, it could probably fit well on the top of a shoe with the shoelaces looped through the holes in the sheath. could make it a nice boot knife lacing it in if youd like it strapped there.other than that, there is no clip or belt loop on the back of this sheath.the metal feels solid and strong but my blade feels pretty dull. ill for sure be sharpening it up. the handles are nice and dont feel cheap or flimsy at all. overall im happy with my purchase, i think this would make a great little pack knife.

First off, I love this knife. It came in the mail today with adequate normal out of box sharpness. I clamped it into my KME sharpener to re-profile. I progressed from "The beast" 50 grit diamond through 6 stones ending with translucent hard Arkansas stone. Finished off with strops and edge is mirror polished. One thing I noticed is that for a cheap knife, the factory grinds are perfect. If they are off at all I will see my edge differ from side to side. This is something even Benchmade and Spyderco have some embarrassing problems with. I'm tired of spending a lot of money on super steels and brand names. This knife will be a test for me. Even when i use steels like ZDP or 154 I still lose that shave sharpness throughout the day. I easily bring it back with stropping. I'm wondering with my normal use if that is possible with with this mystery 440. My guess is it will be fine. I see a lot of reviews and low ratings due to the size. Get a tape measure out, idiots! I have a lot of cool blades but I'm just loving how cool this little thing is. A lot of it is that i'm able to put a highly refined edge on it. Found I enjoy knives a lot more after KME purchase. Its small but thats whats so great about it. Under $10 is awesome. I haven't written a review on anything in 4 years. For some reason I just had to with this. Mtech is butt of jokes in the knife world, Not anymore for me. I will be getting the rest of their neckers for sure.
