Sharp durable small size knife cuts anything
This is the second one I now own. I carry this when I handcycle, I am paralyzed and ride flat on the ground and Dogs do not like me because I am different. I hope never to need to use it but I have limited ability to protect myself. This is an extremely sharp knife be careful it will cut you easily. It is a small size but has a great fit to your hand and will cut about anything you can think of. Great price for a great tool which is well made and keeps a sharp edge.

Great little tanto Blade knife
Has a good feel in my large 8" hand and a nice edge. Overall very well made for the price or even double. Shealth tight rugged plastic that think enough to last. You use cord as a belt loop or any other means of tiedown for quick access. Make a great boot knife with a few leather cords to hold.

Mini Masterpiece
This is one fine little knife. The grip is outstanding (fits my hand perfectly). The weight is what I would expect from a robust knife however on the light side. The sharpness was something that I’m a little bit critical of (I like blades to be outrageously sharp) but, a few passes on the porcelain rod and a light stropping did the trick. The sheath when paired with a c-clip is something awesome. My state will allow me to carry it concealed and I have mounted to my belt at an angle where it’s comfortable and covered. It carries securely. And, finally I must say that when I use it for utility stuff (as I do) I get the experience of handling a well balanced, well designed work horse of a knife. I love the thing.

Good value for a quality based knife brand.
The best Cold Steel knives are Japanese made. This is a Chinese made, but that doesn’t mean it’s not decent. A good knife is one you have in hand, works for the task and is comfortable to hold. This fills that bill. At the price, if you lose it, your not our a bunch of money. It’s a decent and durable knock around camp knife. I’ve got some 40 YO cold steel knives and I expect this to last a long time as a small utility knife. The edge has stayed true.

Very nice for a day to day carry.
It's small and compact, which is great as I personally don't like carrying around a bigger blade as it usually draws too much attention from people around you. It's sharp as hell right out the box, which is good because knowing the quality of cold steel metals, you most likely won't have to sharpen this puppy for a while. Because of the length of it, I feel as though it's mainly just a flashier take on a pocket knife; a very beautiful knife nonetheless. For the price it's definitely worth it and I personally, once again, do prefer a fixed blade as I feel they perform a little sturdier in comparison to their flip counterparts. Only con to this is the need to get an additional clip but that's nitpicking. Knife won't let you down.

Good knife!!!!!!
It coms sharp. Very cool mini katana looking knife lol. Very sturdy light weight. Handle is a little short for big hands but you just learn how to use it. Does not have a belt clip but I use zip ties and run it sideways on my belt in the front for easy access. Ok as for what kind of work I use it for......... I work as a landscaper........ I cut grass in cemeteries and apartment buildings. I use my knife for almost everything.... I pry crap with it (within reason) cut all the debris that get wrapped around my blades. Cut branches from under trees I have to cut under. Cut whip string ........ Use it to clean around grave stones, I mean dirt rocks ...... Everything. I have had it for about four months and I carry it everyday.... I also work at a restaurant and I use it breakdown boxes and stuff of that nature. Small, quick to deploy, easy to carry, sturdy and I have only sharpened it twice........ All around good blade.

Sharpness is crazy
Very very sharp, thickness it amazing, a steal for 20$, I can easily use this as an everyday carry on my belt. The sheath has holes so I can put zip ties or whatever on it and put it on my belt. Very sharp!
