C1146 Fixed Blade Knife,440C Blade G10 Handle EDC Tool Knife for Outdoor, Camping, Hiking, Fishing with kydex Sheath (Orange)

I bought an orange and green one. There was a 5% coupon at the time so I ordered mine as two separate orders and got $0.50 off each. I saw some reviews that bashed this knife for a few reasons. I think people need to recalibrate expectations. First was size. Mine came exactly the size pictured and one of the pictures even shows it laying across a mans hand, so I feel the depiction and pictures are accurate. It CLEARLY isn't the size of a utility knife. Next some people don't like the sheath and complained about wear on the knife hardware. The sheath retains the blade very well. You don't want a knife to get loose especially if you are wearing it against your skin. Wear from friction-fitting hard sheaths is common with neck knives, this one seems about on par with others I own, just the nature of the beast, especially at a sub-$10 price point. Someone complained about the grip. To be honest I didn't even realize it was fake G10 even though it says so in the ad. the grip has been fine for me, given it's size. If you are looking for a knife in wet/slimey conditions, you probably shouldn't be relying in this dinky thing anyway. Where I agree with some reviews is the point/edge. It came delivered in a small tin box with a clear window. The box is a VERY tight fit for the length of the knife. One of the knives was pushed into the box tightly and it did put a small burr/bend on the tip. However once sharpened it went away. And yes you will need to put an edge on it when you get it, it is a little dull right out of the box. It's listed as 440 stainless and I'm always dubious of metal claims on better knives, so not sure I'd believe that on a sub-$10 knife. I doubt it is hardened, but it will hold an edge for a reasonable amount of work before it needs resharpening. The simple blade shape means it sharpens easily with a few passes on a rectangular stone. However, this isn't a work knife! Not sure why anyone would want to use it as one anyway, it's too small for regular use on a job. It works great for opening the occasion package, poking a hole in things, etc. It hangs discretely from the neck when the bulge of a knife in a pocket or one clipped to a belt is undesirable. It also works well with the sheath zip tied to the molle straps of a larger bag/pouch, which I did with the green one. I gave it 4 stars because it is what i expected and it's decent for the money.

Fun little knife, easy to carry. Not super great steel, but it’s cheap and I’m not concerned about abusing it.

I see they changed the description to 'rubber imitate G10' for the handle material. It's plastic, not rubber or G10. The sheath is plastic as well and not kydex like the description says but that's fine. Blade grind was decent but required sharpening (I got 2 examples, both needed sharpening). For the money I'm happy with them.

Once knowing the size, the if very impractical for almost anything. Made well, and I did find a little job just for this handle-knife thing and I'm glad I have it in my collection.

I received this product and removed from the the packaging. "out of the box" the knife had almost no edge on it what so ever. Upon sharpening, I noticed a bit of material came off of the tip but it was a tiny amount and afterward there seemed to be no issue. The G10 handles are a nice touch. Basically, it's a box cutter. I personally do not see any practical application as a knife beyond that. The sheath that it comes with is not a kydex sheath. It seems to be an ABS plastic but seems to do the job it was intended for. I probably would have given five stars had it come with a far better edge out of the box but again, it's a $10 product.
