Questions & Answers
It was definitely not Full Tang for me, and it came in snapped right at the handguard, so they must have changed the design.
It's perplexing. In some ways, however, it is a hybrid knife. It's a self-defense/edc/throwing/knife that, while a little impractical, can be used for just about anything based on my experience with blades.
The total length is a little more than 9 inches. The blade measures a little more than 4 3/4 inches in length.
Because the knife has no markings indicating where it was made, I'm guessing it was made in the United States.

Here are a few highlights for a well-deserved 5 star product: 1. ) This knife is a self-defense weapon that is extremely effective. a weapon of defense ) The Clip is incredibly strong and versatile, allowing it to be worn on a belt, boot, or M. It's a simple task to use E gear.

4. ) The Handle is rubberized/ribbed and has a wide double guard to keep your hand from slipping down.
5. ) Includes a paracord lanyard hole in the form of a small Brass tube. You can use a cord or anything else you want. br>br>In response to any negative comments about the SWHRT9B, I would simply recommend that some people conduct their own research before purchasing. "Not the Best Collector's Knife," "Handle is Too Short," and "Cut my Leg" are just a few of the comments I've seen. " I must persuade the skeptics to consider the following:
1. ) Knives at this price point are rarely collector's items.
2. ) The handle isn't "too short," but it is too short for your intended use or for your unrealistic expectations.
3. ) If you don't know how to use a knife with a Duel Edged Spear Point Blade, don't buy one. br>The Bottom Line: If this blade is used for its intended purpose, namely self-defense, I believe it meets all requirements and could potentially save a life.
So far, it has met my expectations, and I would not make any changes. After reading some reviews, I'd like to point out that in Washington state, concealing this type of knife is illegal. It is legal, however, if only a small portion of the hilt is visible. A local cop showed me how to make these legal to carry and deploy with a simple trick for belt wearers. As an added bonus, it's barely visible. br>Normally, when a belt clip is attached to a belt, it rides high on the waist, making it illegal to carry and, to be honest, difficult to deploy. However, by flipping the knife point up and clipping it to the belt (I put the entire sheath between the belt and the pants with the clip facing outward), the hilt is visible, making it legal, and it's just a grab and click away when needed. The only drawback with this knife is resheathing it. br>The only drawback with this knife is resheathing it. It's not a problem for me because I only use it when absolutely necessary.
It costs $16 to buy this knife. Let's get this out of the way right now. I own two collector's knives that didn't cost $16 each. Also, if you're prone to cutting yourself with this, slide the knife into the sheath until all of the sharpy bits are covered, then pull the button thingy around the hilt and snap it. On knives, is it referred to as a hilt? I'm not sure, and I'm not interested in finding out. In any case, 7Cr17MoV isn't a particularly high-quality steel. This is something you should be aware of if you enjoy and purchase knives. It's essentially a mediocre steel that sharpens well but loses its edge quickly. It's unfair to compare this knife to a higher-end Benchmade or Spyderco because it isn't attempting to be that, and it is proud of it. This isn't an EDC knife for box cutting, bushcrafting, or any other type of work or job. It's a "get me out of this sh*t" knife, as other reviewers have noted, and it's incredibly light and well balanced. It has a good sheath and is sharp. I keep a Fallkniven F1 on my belt for cutting meat or general bushcrafting, a Spyderco UK pen knife with S110V steel in my pocket for work, and this wonderful little dagger strapped on my ankle for a get the F* out of this Sh* situation if one arises. It'll set you back sixteen dollars. Get over it, negative reviewers.
This knife was purchased to see what it would look like, and YES, it is a 12 inch knife. The knife costs $99, but I'm not sure it's worth that much. br>The knife is finished in a rough black finish (is it sand mixed with paint?). ) that many knife manufacturers are now using to coat their blades. Even with this extra "texture," the blade is only about 1/8th of an inch thick. br>The handle is made of some sort of hard rubber that I find slimy and slick. This could be aided by the addition of some O- In the handle's grooves, there are rings. br>The sheath is well-made and "proudly" displays the Smith logo. The clip has the Wesson logo and name, but it is a sub-par version. The knife blade could be slid into either of the TWO slits in the top of the sheath by accident, which is standard. br>The knife's sheath has a nice snap to hold it in place. That is the pinnacle of the whole thing. br>. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . OVERALL. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . br>I would be happy to own this knife if I were 12 or 14 years old, but As an adult who uses and, yes, occasionally abuses knives, I would NOT carry this knife or rely on it for anything other than decoration. To put it another way, I wouldn't risk my lunch, much less my life, on this knife not snapping under even moderate or gentle use.
First and foremost, let me state the obvious: Many of you, I'm sure, believe this is a low-cost option. level knife, and you're free to hold that opinion, but let me assure you that this knife is quite good: it's razor sharp on both edges, the center of balance is exactly where it should be, and the sheath is very secure, all leather, the snap is tight, and it's quite well made. br>br>Pro Tip: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "innovative When sheathing this knife, keep your fingers away from the blade to keep them on your hand. br>br>Modifications: I only wrapped the handle with 550 pc on this knife. I don't believe anything else is required until the blade's powder coating begins to peel away.
This was purchased as a low-cost backup for self-defense. Something inexpensive that I wouldn't mind losing if it was stolen, lost, or used as evidence. It'd be worthwhile even if I only used it once. However, I disagree with you. The handle is far too narrow to get a good grip on, and the blade only extends about halfway through, so the bottom half of the handle is flexible. Both sides of the edge were dull. In the end, I had to send it back. I wasn't out anything with prime, so that's a good thing. I'll be on the lookout for someone to take his place.
