It is an average size, OK for a knife that will be concealed in a boot. The guard is not as wide as the sheath and not as wide as my hand when holding it. The balance point is right at the guard, if that matters to you. <br />The blade was somewhat sharpened when it arrived, but not sharp enough. <br />The sheath is thick and solid, which is a good thing since you don't want the knife cutting right through it. The strap that holds the knife in isn't easy to undo with your thumb because it is so tight. But that really doesn't matter since the strap wraps around the handle from the left and the right, with the snap right in the middle, you can't remove the knife one handed. The clip on the sheath is solid and strong. Though I would have preferred it up higher so the knife sits farther down in the boot. But then you would have to reach further into your boot to release it, and again that is a two handed operation. Rating: 3 / 5 This knife feels a little heavy to me.

The sheath is thick and solid, which is a good thing since you don’t want the knife cutting right through it. The strap that holds the knife in isn’t easy to undo with your thumb because it is so tight. But that really doesn’t matter since the strap wraps around the handle from the left and the right, with the snap right in the middle, you can’t remove the knife one handed. The clip on the sheath is solid and strong. Though I would have preferred it up higher so the knife sits farther down in the boot.

It fits together very well and you don't have to worry about it falling out of the sheath by accident or anything like that. <br /> <br />The one thing I did was take it to my machine shop and sharpen it, so now it is like a razor blade and it works great now. It was sharp when I got it, but now it is really sharp. <br /> <br />I would buy this knife again if I needed one, so I can rec'mnd one! <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 This is a nice knife, especially for the price.
