MTECH USAMT-588 Fixed Blade Knife Series

I gave this 5 stars because it is great at being what it is and doing what it's meant for but a few things you need to know.#1 most important. This item is NOT A KNIFE.It's not designed nor intended to be used as a knife. If your looking for a neck knife at the same price point, I recommend the (MTech 20-30). That's a knife.#2 when you first get this item, it is extremely hard to remove it from the sheath but it will get easier once the sheath wears in.#3 the chain it comes with is garbage, throw it away and add your own cordage.#4 I see a lot of complaints about its sharpness, again, it's not a knife. It's design and shape does the work and the sharpness, steel quality and edge retention doesn't matter. I've tested this on several tin cans without damage.....well.....it did dull the ridiculously sharp point a little.#5 if you hold it correctly your finger will probably fit.#6 if you think you know how to properly use this, you probably don't. Keep in mind it's not a knuckle duster ring and using that way will probably break your finger.#7 for whatever reason you buy this, be careful because it has the potential to cause serious injury.

Wow. For the price this is a great knife for low profile self defense readiness. I mean regardless of the price it’s still a great knife. Small and slim so I can easily clip it to my pocket or wear it around my neck with the included chain. The knife cover also hold the knife very snugly and securely while still being accessible for when it’s pulled from the sheath with intention. While walking to and from my car I can discreetly hold this knife safely in my hand and place it back safely in my pocket without anyone the wiser. I hope I never have to use this knife for self defense. But if I do, I’m glad to know it’s a good knife that’s reasonably sharp and definitely portable.

She likes that its compact and the chain to keep around her neck, nice and sharp. Good value.

great size. build quality is great. good grip. very good value

for a $10 knife you don't expect much, but I like these little knives for the following reason:1. They're extremely small - they fit in the palm of your hand.2. The clip included allows you to clip it onto your waist or belt and after a few minutes, you barely know it's there.3. The cost is reasonable.4. The knife is very sharp.5. The case is pretty good except for one problem: the clip is held by two very flimsy screws. With any kind of rough handling those screws come loose. if you're handy, this might not be a problem. I'm sure you could find a way to fix that.

Not bad for the price, but be aware that it is difficult to pull out of the sheath. I have to leave it sticking out about half way, enough to get my finger through the hole and pull. It won't fall out of the sheath, but the belt clip is very weak, and I have to consistently adjust it down or else it falls of my belt after time with movements. Lastly, the chain that it comes with is extremely cheap and reacts with sweat. After about 5 days on constant use in a humid environment, it started to stain my neck green. The blad itself isn't sharp, but it is very pointy, as it is meant more for piercing than cutting, but that's an easy fix. Overall for the price it's not bad, just a few adjustments needed.

Buy one!!I bought myself one and was soooo impressed I had to order 2 more for my adult children.This is absolutely a must have. It's light. Fits nicely in the hands or on any finger.I bought this for when I'm walking my dogs, so I have extra protection if another loose stray dog or stranger attacks myself or my dogs.

Ok, this has to be the best quality cheap knife I’ve bought . This is strictly for poking in a self defense situation. I will tell you as an emergency medical tech , this will wreck someone trying to hurt you in a struggle. It’s simple , it’s strung , and most importantly it’s very affordable. I do not believe this would deform or bend hitting a large bone group. It has just enough penetration to encourage and attacker to leave you alone , but it also has enough to put someone on the ground if you know how to fight and strike vital areas . I think this is perfect for women or guys that just want a tiny throwing knife . I was very pleased with the quality for such a price. I’m a knife guy , I love high end knives , BUT I also love function over form.
