Great knife! It takes a little getting used to the small handle. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with really large hands. I used the Paracord to make a lanyard for the handle for better grip. And hung it on a beaded chain. I love it! It leaves very little footprint, and it's very light weight so it's easy to forget it's even there.

Super sharp if you have the sharping skills, as a last ditch effort I define it as excellent. wharncliffe blade design allows for deeper longer wounds in tissue then knives with blade lengths of 4-5 inches… No brainer

I own four of these knives, and it's mainly because I keep coming up with new custom grip designs. Grab one of these blades and a polymer clay and design yourself any type of knife grip that you can dream of. I have also taken soft loops from another kydex sheath and found that it screws right into these TDI LDK sheaths, so that I can locks these knives around around my waist. So I have a very good edc custom grip knife that works with how I dress and how I use a knife.

Very small but a we'll designed blade. Hooked on ring finger would be devistating in hand to hand situation. Can be carried anywhere without even being seen. Small enough to actually lace up in a pair of sneakers concealed. Great EDC (back up), in a pinch. Wouldn't want to show up to a REAL KNIFE fight with this one though. Having bought these for my son's, will probably buy one for myself after Xmas. Kudos!!!

It’s big that’s for sure. It sharpens up real easy and is of good quality. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good work/camping knife. It’s big but I don’t think it’s really much bigger than the U.S.M.C.

I got one of these a while back and like it so well I got my girlfriend one. They are extremely sharp and concealable. I highly recommend this to anyone who plans for the worst and hopes for the best.

Seller was EXCELLENT!! KA-BAR 1478 is very small, that's the Whole POINT ! I wouldn't want to get stabbed and slashed by one of these shanks!! I love them and will be giving them out as small gifts and stocking stuffers!!

I laced the handle with the included para cord, changed the point to a more traditional curve and it works pretty well as a very light, compact pocket knife. I recommend it!

This is the ultimate defense weapon. Can be used while it remains unseen. Razor sharp, quick, and very deadly. One of the fastest neck cutters ive come across. Brilliant design. Easy to conceal... enough said, it works.

Knife is very small and not very good quality. I'm really disappointed :(
