Wow! What a Bite!

Perfect fit in the hand. All sides are razor sharp. This thing bites like a Wolverine!! A great back-up knife that is perfect for law enforcement and the military. At the price you'll pay, this is a bargain! Buy it!!

Razor sharp with a tight fit

I ordered this knife only 6 days ago and I got it in 5, so the shipping was fast and efficient which was definitely a plus. A few reviews said that the sheath was extremely tight and others said it wobbles a bit, and both are correct. When I got it, I had to put on grip gloves and use full force to remove it from the sheath. After pulling it out and putting it back in about 10 times, it started to become easier to unsheath. It does wiggle a little bit in its sheath but only when it isn't clipped to your boot/pocket. The knife came razor sharp with the points being sharper than my sushi knives. It's got a great discreet size perfect for edc and self defense scenarios. I'll be buying a couple more of these to have on hand or send out as gifts.

Mantis push dagger.

Outstanding little push dagger. They call it a 'boot knife' but I don't conceal it. I carry it in my medical satchel and use it for everything from opening mail to cutting rope. Solid one piece construction--virtually indestructable. Real nice! Great price too. Fast shipping.

Mantis Push Knife

I would use this item as last ditch personal/family protection/self defence in my own home. The blade and handle are great, but the scabbard clip could be better. If you clip it to the inside of your belt or belt, the dagger doesn't draw, the whole thing comes out dagger and scabbard included. Otherwise the dagger itself is great. I'll have to try and modify the scabbard somehow.

Looks nice but that's about it

It's an interesting design but they could improve a lot. It is very small. Smaller than anticipated. It is also very dull. Some of the edges are not as cleanly finished as I'd have liked. I like the sheath and scales are a nice touch. With some TCL this blade can be a pretty cool tool.

Sheath is beyond too tight.

I really like how this knife looked. However, it was so tight in the sheath it came in that I had to tie a rope to the handle to pull it out the first time. (Recommendation of Knife Center) I loosened it is as far as I could without the sheath coming apart and I still cannot use this knife in any manner that I want to. They said these all come super tight. To this day I cannot use this knife in the manner i want to as it still is too tight and when you try to pull the blade you pull the sheath with it and it is essentially useless. I would look elsewhere for this type of blade.
