fantastic neck knife !

Love this knife ..reason for shorter grip is to reduce overall length so it doesn't poke you when you bend over ...very secure grip ..sheath is ok acceptable...holds knife securely....Grip edges are a little rough on skin when wearing ..just use fine sandpaper & smooth edges .I love so much when I misplaced it ..I bought another one ! Now found first one & have 2 mini tacs! I own a karadisi mod mini tac also .. 8 AUS is my favorite low cost steel ..tough .holds a decent edge & easy to sharpen ..

Typical Cold Steel

Typical Cold Steel toughness, sharp edge and value for dollar. The AUS-8 steel is one of my favorite mid grade blade steels. Very good stain resistance, important in a neck knife worn close to the body. Keeps edge better than 440C but sharpens easier. Knife came hair popping sharp out of the box.I deducted a point for the poorly designed sheath. The knife rides way too deeply in the sheath, preventing a proper using grip when drawn. You must extract the knife with a two fingers then shift grip to use it. Won't work in self defense situations. I fixed this by making my own kydex sheath. Overall, a lot more cut for its size than it would appear.Great little knife, crappy sheath.

Small and easy to conceal.

The laws in the UK are draconian but this mini Tac can be hidden under my camping clothes. I'll feel safer when i'm camping on my own up on the moors having this as easy back up. Just in case..... ;-) I like the sheath as it holds the knife well.Many thanks Knife Centre.
