Smith & Wesson Boot Knife Fixed Blade Flat Dark Earth vs Cold Steel Kobun

Cant really say much about the blades durability since its a recent buy, but the blade seems decent. Nothing spectacular, but for the price its an alright buy. Clip is strong and sturdy, but the sheath is already showing signs that its about to break. Every time I sheath or unsheathe the blade it seems I'm getting closer to the inevitable snap of the sheath

Very easy to correct one flaw if available to modification Very easy to correct one flaw if available to modification. Would make a very good knife for a prepper or bug out situation blade or even personal defense if you have a CCWP.

The two halves of the sheath are held together with 8 eye rivets so it's pretty durable and if you really wanted to you could weave some cord through. The main negative is the edge is not sharpened well. You might want to touch it up, although this thing is really more like a fancy letter opener so I guess it's OK. UPDATE: I bumped it up a star to 5 because other units seem to be a bit sharper than mine

You have several options for mounting points and you can change out the clip, but it comes with this really cool flat, blade. Uh, good retention clip ...

Exactly what I was looking for: lightweight, stainless steel, slim profile, very sharp out of the box, and a great poly scabbard.

He said if it knives it knifes it works, and that and that's true that's true. I steal a lot from donnie a lot of stuff. I still you know it's factual...

I’d like it if S&W made replacement or additional sheaths available, my shepherd got a hold of the sheath and did some good damage, it can kind of still be used, but replacing it would be nice.

4. Ounces. Quite light comes with a kydex sheath. It is a model number 17 t and it's made in taiwan

It also came butter knife dull. The handle is comfortable and the price tag was cheap so it is what it is. I wouldn't buy it again.

The blade locks so tightly into the handle it is almost dangerous trying to pull it out. I tried sitting there pulling and pushing it back in 50+ times to see if I could loosen it up. No dice. When it is on my belt and I try and pull the knife out, it pulls the whole sheath off my belt because the knife is so tightly bound into it

Size is good, feels pretty ok in my big hands. The sheath is good enough, knife fits snugly, could be used as a neck knife maybe. Balance is pretty good. Overall it's a solid little boot knife for the price

Cold Steel SRK, Gerber Strongarm has some good reviews, Schrade has some nice single piece hollow handle survival knives, Morakniv I think offers the best value available. They have a few survival knives.
