Girlfriend loves it
Giving it 4 stars since it didn’t come with the tool to adjust the clip position. Besides that, girlfriend loves it. Fits comfortably in her boot, she forgets it’s there sometimes. Pretty shard but she wears it down quickly due to her job. Easily concealed, so perfect for EDC on the small of your back or boot. Some kind of safety retention would be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the price and for what its used for
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023
This is a great little tool. I put it on my battle belt it works perfectly. Everything is accurate when it comes to website and reviews. It is sharp. The sheath is not as bad as everyone said it was. Yest its alittle tough to pull knife out but thats what you want. I def do not want that falling out while making moves. The only down side is the clip. Its not bad but for what im using it for it is. I used a blade tech tek lock works perfect. To be honest i was nervous but gave it a shot for 30 bucks. Other options start at 100 dollars quality is great. Would recommend for a budget belt knife. Its overall size is about 6 inches.
