Customer Reviews


I want to start off by saying this is an awesome knife and I really, really like it. The purpose of this review is to point out some of the details that may not be explicit or obvious in the product description:
Pros:=========================================
Construction- This is one of their products that is made in Portland, not in China like part of their product line. Full tang, grippy handle, etc.
Tanto Blade- Looks really tough! Probably will never need its increased piercing ability but looks do count for something!
Snap Restraint on Sheath- The snap has some elastic built into it so that you don't have to struggle to get it closed. Really love this feature over some comparable knives that have straight webbing for the handle restraint.
Price- This is great value for the money. Paid just over 50$ for mine through Amazon.com
Cons:=========================================
Handle- The handle is a little small for my hand (Admittedly, I do have big hands). Note that the handle is .25" shorter than the regular Prodigy handle. The consequence is that the base of my palm comes in contact with the pommel when the handle is held at certain angles.
Leg Strap- Only comes with one, but even the one it comes with is short. I am over 6' and 200pounds and the strap barely fit around my thigh. I imagine that I would need an alternate strap if I had any sort of layers or winter clothing on.
Mixed:=========================================
Sheath- No rattle while carrying, multiple ways to carry/ attach to gear, sheath will hold knife facing either direction (most sheaths are designed for right-handers), there is single stitching in some areas where I would have preferred it to be doubled up, overall sheath has lots of added value (leg strap, elastic buckle, window punch cover)
Elastic Window Punch Cover- The elastic pommel cover barely covers the window punch and often slips off during normal wear. I like the idea, but execution could be better.
Overall:=========================================
Thumbs up: The reasons the knife didn't get 5 stars was because of the handle length, short leg strap, and elastic pommel cover not being perfect. Other than that, this is a solid knife, with great features and value for the price. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do!

The knife substantially exceeds expectations.
It is high quality, fits well in the hand, and will be useful in the woods.
It fills a niche between a Leatherman Super Tool, Leatherman Wave, folding Gerber Gator, my large Kabar, and all the other knives I've collected.
The main purpose for buying it was to have a medium sized fixed blade that is durable and convenient enough to carry in the outdoors. I live is SE Alaska and its important to have a multi purpose blade.
Its also a solid value.
Thanks for reading...
