Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Finish, Handle Material, Materials, Overall Quality, Sheath/Scabbard
Cons: Weight

No complaints!

I’ve trained in both Native American and Asian knife fighting styles for years. This particular piece is modeled after the Japanese Kunai; both a fighting knife and throwing weapon. Compared to others of its kind I can honestly say this is the strongest and toughest version I’ve ever trained with. The balance is great for fighting and the handle is easy to change grips. It’s very effective for short range throws (5-10ft.) but the weight requires more practice for longer distances. The complaints about the handle comfort are petty. I just wrapped mine in nylon cordage and it feels fine. For the price, I’m extremely satisfied with this knife and recommend it to anyone who enjoys knife training and/or having a reliable EDC defensive blade.

Pros: Blade Sharpness
Cons: Weight, Materials

Not a neck knife

Great blade. Thought I could remove the clip on the sheath and wear it as a neck knife. With that bottom rivet on the sheath, if you grind it off, you’ll never use the clip again. Heavy knife.

Great self defense dagger, but....

I own over 20+ cold steel products, I am a true fan of their products. My problem with this specific unit is that it's too big and uncomfortable. I have regular size to large size hands, and even for me there's just to much wiggle room. I suppose if you were wearing gloves it would help? I just can't seem to get a comfortable grip on it, no matter if it's reverse grip or forward grip. The quality is great, in the collection it will go, but not for concealed carry as I wanted.
