Smith & Wesson 9" H.R.T Double Edged Boot Knife with High Carbon Stainless Steel Blade

Great boot, bag or belt dagger. Came with a very well made durable leather sheath with metal belt clip and button clasp. Purchased it on sale so even better. Have a few other Smith & Wesson knives and they are all good quality for the price and arrive very sharp and hold an edge well under normal use. Comfortable hand grip and light weight. _

Buying knives sight unseen is always a gamble. I needed a new boot knife and always buy one in the Sykes-Fairbairn commando style knife uses by the SAS and Marine Raiders in WW II.....but a bit smaller. I took a chance on this knife and have been pleasantly surprised at the style and quality of the knife. It is a solid full tang knife with a more than adequate non slip grip. The double edged blade holds an edge well and sharpens fairly easily. I am pretty critical of knives and I don't write many five star reviews. But, for the price, this is a very well made and attractive boot knife. I have several other "on line" knives that I paid more for and were of inferior quality to this one.

real ones know this is rustys knife. its durable, handle feels good, and the hilt design is a good size. not bad for 16 bucks

Worth $20, not much more. It’s a boot knife and has a rigid leather sheath with a clip. It’s ment for defense. If you’re looking for a better quality knife about the same size with a single edge I recommend the large BuckLite. It’s a drop point, has a more robust blade with a good heat treat. It’s the same steel buck uses in most of their blades. The handle is much better than the S&W, and the blade has some jimping on it. The only drawback with it is that it has a nylon sheath. I guess that’s how they save money on the knife. It cost around $33, so a little bit more but worth it.

Great knife to have! Great quality, weight is good, blade is sharp and works like a knife should! Grip is comfortable

I'm no knife expert, but I've owned quite a few over time. Most have been foldable. I bought S&W model CKTACBSD an Amazon a while back and really like it. I wanted a fixed blade to have in addition to the foldable for use camping and as a general tool around camp & while motorcycling. It's always good to have a reliable knife on hand. You never know how much you use one until you don't have it handy. I can't say exactly why I wanted a fixed blade other than convenience of use and durability over time, but since the S&W foldable tactical was so nice and the reviews on this were so great, I thought I'd give it a shot. I wasn't disappointed. This knife is well made, looks great, very sharp out of the box & even more so with just a little extra sharpening. Love the coating on the blade and the handle size/feel is fantastic. As I said in the title, when I first received it, I couldn't put it down. The weight, balance and size just begs to be held. I haven't tried it out camping, but after slicing and stabbing a few random inanimate objects about the house, I'm confident I'll be pleased once I do. The case is of similar quality to the knife. Nice thick leather with a sturdy clip. I had slight difficulty at first getting it back in the case without looking, but after a few tries, I got it down. Although not an issue with the product, my other concern is that in my state, I wouldn't carry this as a "boot knife" (under my pant leg anyway) as due to the fixed and double blade, it would likely violate concealed weapons laws. If I wear it on my belt in plain sight while riding or camping, I should be A-OK. That's how I wear my foldable anyway, so it's no biggie--except I can legally slip the foldable in my pocket if I need to pop in a store or some other civilized place where I don't want to stir up trouble or frighten the townspeople. Ironically, I can carry a concealed handgun (with permit), just not a fixed double blade knife.

really well-made little knife it fits well In the hand plus the grip is pretty nice and it came pretty sharp

Exactly as expected. Very nice. It's got a nice thickness to it, with a great grip feel and a length that allows for both good utility, and effective use for self defense or daily use. The sheath is ok too.
