Cold Steel Mini Leatherneck Double Edge Spear Point Compact Lightweight 3.5" 8CR13MOV Steel Fixed Blade Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, 3.25" Textured Ergonomic Kray-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath

Only got it today so if my review hasn’t changed then it stood the test of time. Mean’t to be used as a neck knife but I bought it with the c clip, it’s sheath works well as a neck knife as the knife hangs from the sheath naturally however from a clipped position it can be hard to unsheathe and re sheathe the knife without audible contact between the two but the sheath seems to hold the knife really well and the edge isn’t super durable but definitely isn’t taking any damage with stored so it seems although towards the tip the is very small scratches although no new ones are appearing. It might be a good idea to simply carry the knife in your pocket to be able to deploy the knife similar to how you would if you were unsheathing it as a neck knife. In the long run I intend to not to use this knife for anything unless I had to while camping etc but other than that this is just a really beautiful and small knife that doesn’t take up too much space and makes me feel safe at my computer desk and is a good collection starter for me.

This knife is Really good! The handle and grip feels good in the hand and the edge holds pretty well. It’s relatively easy to pull out of sheath, a little snug but I like that it’s kinda snug, not too snug tho. Very functional for self defense and as you can see in the photo the paper cut test went well. Easy to use and the lock mechanism is good! Pretty sure it’s full tang and well balanced. Good neck knife. Definitely recommend this knife for neck knife or boot knife (with C clips) or a belt/waist knife! 5 stars for sure

Ok this is not going to be a general purpose knife. It's sharp as ever with a great tip. Light weight and it really has one purpose and that is stabbing. I really don't have anything that I need to stab to think of right off hand, but if you need that, this will do. I have used it to open some boxes and it's held its edge nicely so far. Very light weight again and you probably won't know you're carrying it. I'm going to work on the sheath and put some leather on it so I can carry it horizontally on my belt. Just a nice little knife to have on you. It can be used for EDC and it would work very well in that aspect.

4 stars based on current observations.Could not give 5 stars based on a lack of belt-clip or other attaching device.Blade is long enough for its intended purpose.I greatly appreciate the oversized guards.Modified the scabbard. Dremeled away and smoothed the interior locking tabs. Other than gravity, the knife has no retention or resistance when drawing from scabbard. But I must say the locking tabs are impressive yet simple. Super design imo.I commonly wear cargo pants which include a slit between side pocket and pants leg. I typically have a pen and folding knife with clip positioned there. This new knife will now replace the folding knife. For "pocket knife" use, I will carry a basic pocket knife in one of the pockets.I took an old belt clip, garage door opener clip, whatever, and double-stickyed it to the scabbard. It's currently sitting in a squeeze clamp. If it doesn't hold, JB Weld will take care of that most likely.Hoping to never need it but, the brand, blade length, handguard made it an easy choice. Great, great price too.Update: The belt clip stuck very well, however, not thinking as to how I choose to carry, the complete handle was above the cargo pocket line and exposed to the world. Exactly what I don't want.Leaving the clip on, I simply dropped the sheath and knife into the pocket. Perfect.The butt is just exposed above the pocket line. Very quick and sure extraction. The lower gravity prevents an otherwise top-heavy sag. Happy camper.For those unhappy with the scabbard and haven't the time, resources, etc to modify it, there are several others available consisting of assorted materials, belt loops, clips, etc to fit the 3.5" blade.In closing, regardless of current origin of manufacturing, Cold Steel products are very reliable when used for their intended purpose. For those who find this as nothing more than a novelty, I respectfully disagree.

While it did arrive almost 2 weeks after the expected delivery date, it is a great boot knife. The shorter handle takes some getting used to, but as I don’t have very large hands, it fits perfect. The blade has a much sharper edge than most other double edge knives I’ve owned. The only drawback back is that the sheath has no clip, though this can be fixed by purchasing a set of “C” clips from Cold Steel for around $7. Overall, it’s a great knife that doesn’t kill your wallet.

Another of my EDC collection. Just can't trust other brands.

Super sharp out the box. Great size for a boot knife if that’s your thing. Sheath had a positive click on it when the knife locks in and feels very secure. Cold steel makes good stuff

Well made, and both sides were already sharp out of the box. Also it is a good looking little knife.
