Cold Steel FGX Boot Blade I with Kraton Handle, black

Produto me surpreendeu pela qualidade e robustez

This is a handy knife, sharp enough for use on fruits or vegetables. It's not designed to cut meat, ropes, or wood. Blade is FRP and as other have noted, non-magnetic. Handle is Kraton and has a nice textured grip surface that is small in circumference, but long enough for my XL hands. Works well when wet. There IS a ferrous metal ring in the lanyard hole, which I'm guessing makes it pass some sort of regulation somewhere. If you find the ring cumbersome, it is easily removed.Definitely not a toy and could be dangerous to others if used improperly. Blade is 125 mm (5 inches) and has a sharp-ish edge both sides, as well as a very fine point.The dimensions and shape are almost identical to Cold Steel's Counter Tac 1, but obviously it's much lighter. The point its strong enough to poke through jeans or a shirt/jacket pocket, so be careful.Some reviewers seem disappointed to discover there is no metal in the knife (other than the lanyard ring). It appears they didn't do any research at the Cold Steel website.No sheath included, but if you also had a Counter Tac 1, you could use the very good non-metallic sheath that comes with that knife for the lightest possible combination while hiking or whatever.

To people who don't get these FGX knives: these are not toys or training aids or display replicas. They are functional plastic knives. In the 1980s and early 90s it was a fad in the back of magazines to sell "metal detector proof" plastic knives as a sales gimmick. I don't know if Cold Steel did this back then, but that's where the concept started. However, if well enough made, these will do in a pinch for self defense purposes. They have a moderate edge that while not the sharpest is more than capable of cutting, slicing, and penetration. They won't be as tough or durable as a steel knife, but they are extremely light weight and fully functional for their intended purposes. I for one love the concept because I collect knives for fun and having a light weight plastic yet functional clone of a $180 knife for $6 is an outstandingly addictive hobby. If you know how to properly sharpen a knife with different grade stones, you can also make the blade razor sharp on this if you want but it's not necessary and functions as is. Only downfall and complaint is these don't come with a sheath and none are offered. Well that and Cold Steel has discontinued all if not most of these FGX knives.
