Customer Reviews

  • Impressive Knife

    By Eric B. on December 7, 2025
    I actually bought this knife as a hard-use tool to replace my lock blades, which I keep wearing out. I work as an installation technician for audio, network, & security systems. I never know what the day will bring; I could be face-down in insulation in someone’s attic, reaching for some wire, or outdoors, digging a trench, or installing speakers & TVs. I always try to have the tools I need on-hand, but my needs change at every job. If I have to climb down a tall ladder and fetch a tool from the truck 4-5 times, I’m wasting precious time, so I have a few items always on me. One of them is this knife.

    I needed a knife I could use for all kinds of things, in case I left behind my dikes, cable strippers, and yes…. even a pry bar! I’ve used it to cut cables, dig out rocks, pry out wall anchors… just to name a few things.

    I hate that I abuse such a beautiful knife, but I really needed something tougher than nails. And this is the ticket!! I’ve been using this knife now for just under a year and it stays sharp under all conditions. My old knives were decent steel, but I had to sharpen them every 2 weeks or so. This thing stays sharp for MONTHS! I love this magnacut steel!

    And this knife is decently thick, the handle is tough, and even the sheath is well made. I also love how this knife fits my hand. It’s very comfortable. My work buddies drool over it. This is the best knife I’ve ever owned, to date.
