I'll have to say right out of the packaging, this thing will shave the hair on your arm. Very heavy bladed knife, almost could dub as a mini machete (and it will cut down a sapling I might add). The blade is very thick and travels all the way down through handle. Sheath/cover is of good quality and "snaps" in when the knife is returned to the holster along with a handle snap for what I would call a double retention. You can throw this thing at a target and yes, it too can be a flying weapon. Good balance on the blade-to-handle ratio for this. The handle itself is the only thing that I would say needs work, securely wrap some gutted 550 cord around the handle and it could "liven" the grip up a bit. Overall, I would by another, and...for the right price....I just may do that.

I bought my first cold steel knife years ago, my son who is a Marine and on his way for his third tour to a war zone I wanted him to have a good blade in case he ran into close fighting. I saw the GI Tanto and bought two, one for him and the other for my Navy son. They arrived and I was not pleased with them. I did not want the hassel of returning them. The handles and quality of the knives were not what I expected. I should have researched closer.

If you only have $20 and need a medium size fixed full tang blade this is the one. The only thing I don't like is the top hand guard. It gets in the way when you choke up on it. I'm going to Dremel it off to make it more comfortable. The sheath is really good too. Lots of lashing points to add a pouch for a ferro rod or multi tool. Great job Cold Steel on this budget knife.

Cannot beat for the money, great blade for everyday chores. This is not a handmade exquisite knife but for 20.00 bucks a great knife. Sheath does the job, would buy again. Have bought many Cold Steel products over the years and never had a problem, they are what they are. I buy Ontario and Cold Steel, fair prices and they last.

It’s designed to beat the heck out of, sturdy, sharp and throws really well too. The sheath is great and is very mobile so it will move and conform to sitting down in the car, couch or chair. I like it so much I bought a second one in case cold steel discontinues the model.
