Chavez knows knives!

I'm just happy that FINALLY someone is listening to what the military really wants and needs! I'm tired of knife company executives giving us what they think we should have, thankfully Mantis is doing this differently. I got one with a slightly different colored wrap, but thats okay because they're all made to order and mine is different from the next guys. The knife is stout and perfect for a gloved hand.

Good light weight emergency knife

My use for the MK-fs Evis is as a last ditch weapon housed on my chest rig. It is something that I can grab quickly with deadly results. It is not an every day carry knife for me, nor is it a knife that I would choose for general functions. The only problem that I have had is that the sheath is not quite as secure as I would have liked it to be --I have had to use tape to keep the knife secure --however, the tape easily tears off when I grab the handle and pull the knife. I hope that I never actually have to use this wicked tool, but it is comforting to know that it is there if I need it.

Great Utility Knife

I love the knife. Well built. Easy to handle. It's in my pocket as a daily wear. I ditched the sheath. It doesn't hold the knife whatsoever. I recommend a custom sheath or wearing it in a different position without the stock sheath. That's my only complaint. If Mantis could come up with a secure leather side belt sheath, this would be the best complete package.

It's okay

I like the quality of the materials used. And the concept is nice also. However the sheath gives me no reason to feel the knife is secure as any bump may dislodge it. The finger ring is sharp edged and if used in combat may cut the user or collapse on the finger. It's an okay knife.
