Portable 6.7 Inch 440C Fixed Blade Outdoor Camping Straight Knife With Kydex Sheath - Black

The knife is better than I had imagined it would be for such a low price. Fits my hand nicely. The supplied sheath fits tightly too. Interesting design. EDC

I really would give this a 4.5 but it only allows four or five. The sheath fits perfect and you feel the retention and the click. Still easy to get out but don't have to worry about it falling out. Fits very good in the hand. Ergonomics are good especially with the finger in the hole. The only thing I wish is the blade was a little longer. Other than that this thing is really cool and especially great for the money

The complaints about the tightness of scabbard around the blade is legit. I heated the scabbard with a heat gun (per other reviews) and it improved but this still limits how I can carry it. I carry it vertically on body armor with no issues after two months. I have gotten several compliments especially when I told them the price. I'm buying two more as gifts. Warning: This blade concept was designed for an upside-down necklace carry option and why there are two holes at the bottom of the scabbard. That would be ill-advised given the scabbard issue. I would only use this for a right-side up carry. Note: I only use this as a back-up EDC. I have not tested the durability of the blade.

I have not owned or handled the authentic Benchmade SOCP dagger so I don’t have a complete reference comparison to make. However, the quality of this clone is exceptionally good especially considering the $20 price tag I paid for it from Amazon prime with free shipping. Is the Benchmade SOCP worth an additional $100? If I could afford it, the extra hundred dollars would have been worth it to support an American made product and an American design that is being knocked off unfortunately and I’m guilty of supporting that. But I am not a special forces operator or LEO, just a middle-age guy with a dad bod who wants one extra layer of self defense protection in addition to my EDC pistol. I’ve seen a few complaints of retention in the sheath, mine has no problem at all. The retention is tight and gives a positive click and felt resistance when the blade is inserted or withdrawn from the sheath. Perhaps there are some quality control variations and if you receive one with poor retention, I think you can fix it by putting a heat gun or hair blower at the middle point of the sheath and pressing in so that it tightens against the blade. See my video on that. Overall, it is an incredibly well thought out design and this clone seems to match the quality of the original other than a different finish. When clipped inside the waistband in an angle, it is fairly comfortable to sit with it in place. However, the loop Tang of the knife does cut into my gut a little because I have a little extra around the waist. Bench made makes a square leather pad that should fit and cost $10 on their website which I will probably get. For the price you can’t go wrong..

Amazing knife. the clip works but it doesn’t keep a good hold on my pants, the feel is amazing and it’s very easy to “deploy” the design is good, i would like it without the serrated part just off of preference but that’s me, and i would rather have the sheath be on the blade and not the entire knife.

Usually in the manufacturing process you deburr or knock the edge off any steel before coating it. This knife has a "as-is" finish as it came off the laser cutter, immediately coated and skipped the IMPORTANT step in between. It is unfinished and will need to be "finished". I traced the entire edge with a dremel and fine wheel to remove the razor sharp edge. If it wasnt stainless I would send it back, but since its supposedly stainless having a polished exposed edge should not rust or corrode. This is the result of uneducated and cheap manufacturers. The sheath fits nice, and snug. The last 2 pics are after dremeling the edge and 400 sand paper. What a joke.... but its cheap, get what you pay for. Just a laser cut piece of steel powder coated with no prep or finishing. At least i wont cut myself on the handle now.

obviously a chinese clone without the best steel but the retention is phenomenal on the kydex, despite reviews I can violently shake upside down with no issues and as others have said can use the hair dryer to fix if that's your issue. Cuts well no complaints fun cheap alternative to a standard socp. Only issue was clip can bend easy but the screws are super easy to remove and put back and any clip adjustments can easily be made with pliers, plus while I still have the oem clip on it it's the same size as several ulti-clips.

Amazing when it works and fits in your boot in my case cowboy boot great inly issue is the clip breaks with time
