I just received mine and its a very! handy little utility blade.
Ill be checking the RC on it next week when I go back south..but so far..it sharpened as easily as D2 can be sharpened (expect to spend some time getting a razor edge on it..crock sticks help)..but it came reasonably sharp in a compact little Kydex sheath. Only issue I can see..is the ball chain is a bit short and is of typically very light duty construction. (Chinese)
Got a dog tag chain? Use it, or use a piece of 505 cord. Ill be threading it with 505 cord
The sheath is slightly different than the one pictured...its square in shape and only has (2) rivets in it..so it will hang at a very very slight angle. Ill probably add another rivet so hangs vertically. A
5 minute job.This will also make a very good "behind the belt" blade or "inside the belt" blade, assuming your belt is at least 1.25" in width...as the entire width is aprox 1 1/4" wide. It would work nicely if attached to the back of a holster, rifle sling, etc etc as well. Probably 3oz in weight at most..so it doesnt have a lot of mass.
Its not a "fighting knife" of any sort..but appears to be a well designed, well thought out utility blade.
This is one of the sellers Ive done a LOT of business with over the past few years and is very reputable, no..no issues noted. Delivery time was about 15 days from China.
Check out the other auctions. Some very good blades can be found there. And they also sell what Id call "prototype" blades...blades from small makers that are trying to get into the market. Some are quite good, excellent in fact..others...particularly those with finger holes...not so good. Chinese have smaller fingers than we Americans do..so several of them look good..but are too small in diameter to use like a Krambit in my hands. This blade/grip is big enough to get two fingers into, with the hook being supported by the third. Quite comfortable in fact...and the thumb rest is in the proper place.
Others that are quite good...
and one of my favorites
