Even if you already have a few knifes, this one is worth getting. In overall appearance this blade and scabbard are even better than I was expecting. I sense that whoever designed these put a lot of thought and pride into both. The hard rubber-like handle is an usually comfortable fit for my hand, which is more the hand of an office worker than someone who does heavy labor. And the blade is somewhat like a shortened version of a Sykes Fairborn dagger, but even better in the way its painted surface is already sharpened, so you won’t have to risk scratching it as I did when I tried to improve the edge on my Sykes Fairborn. I was also pleased to realize that there’s a convenient lanyard hole in the handle. Smith & Wesson was willing to put their name on this, and they were right to do so.

This knife is very nice and sharp. that is the right size for me, not too long and not too short, the grip is very comfortable.
whether you are using it from Camping, daily basic or all the way to self-defense, this is one of your choice.

this is a well built knife, but the handle is to short for me and makes the whole knife feel akward in my hands.

instead of blabbing about how much i like this knife ill let you all know the exact dimensions of it… since im well on my way to being an engineer i have alot of micrometers on hand and the reason i want to post the size of it is because ITS SMALL…i know to alot of people it might be “big enough” but for me its pretty tiny. i saw it as a pretty big knife from the pictures i saw a customer upload here but when i opened the box i noticed how short it felt on my hand. so lets see, what i got on the actual blade at its thickest is .155 inches a little smaller than the size of 2 sd cards and what i got on the length of the blade is 4.9 inches very close to 5 inches..the handle is the rough part, at .717 inches at its thickest and 4.375 in length its too small to be comfortable. but dimensions aside, i thought the knife was very sturdy and well made. the description mentions both aluminum and steel that the handle is made of so im not sure about the material but you cant really feel it because its coated with what feels like rubber (not teflon) but im not so sure. though it is pretty well balanced so it doesnt really matter.
overall its a good knife for the price (i paid 20 usd) but for self-defense its not what id expect to stab someone with….

The Smith & Wesson HRT is a pretty good knife, it feels good in your hand, is well balanced and the steel quality is ok, However the dagger point edge bends fairly easy. The leather sheath it comes with is really cool, it has a belt clip, so u can clip it to your clothing not only on the belt, but the button that keeps the knife in the sheath is kind of hard to access. Overall, a good quality knife for its price.
