Great affordable Dagger - reminiscent of more expensive classics
Ordered this more as a novelty. Wanted a dagger but didn’t want one bad enough to pay hundreds for something like an Applegate. This knife is well worth the price. It is somewhat heavy - very solid. The grip great - comfortable and non-slip texture. The 440C steel is fine for the price. The knife doesn’t come that sharp but it is very easy to put a nice edge on it. Not sure if this is accurate, but I read they “serrations” served more to create a larger wound channel than to actually cut or saw anything. They are very dull and flat…. Not serrations, but just notches in the blade. I used a pointed diamond pocket sharpener to file them and give the “serrations” pointy teeth instead of dull notches. Only took 10 minutes. Again, I see this knofe as more of a novelty. If you want a usable modern dagger or boot knife that is easy to carry, I would suggest something like the Cold Steel Korbun. However this Walther is just more fun to see on a shelf and pick up to handle. Feels reminiscent of something from the past. It is certainly not a toy and is a legit dagger, but my only intention was to buy as a neat novelty. And why not at the great price. I thought the sheath was better than expected for the price. It is innovative. Large study belt loop. Has a metal clip you can modify for IWB carry, clip on a belt, clip on a bag, boot carry. Has a suspender clip / shoulder strap. Decent quality and innovative. I wouldn’t carry it. Pretty heavy / bulky but for the money the sheath was better than expected and is usable.
