COLD STEEL DROP FORGED BOOT KNIFE 5"

What an awesome little hunk of steel! I got it for a great price. It's the perfect size for concealment. It's not the most balanced as it's blade heavy. It feels indestructable. The sheath has perfect retention. I wouldn't hesitate to say, mount it upside down on a plate carrier. I can't speak to other reviewers, but my sample there's no way the knife would fall out. It's extremely sharp and I love the midnight blue-ish color. Everything screams quality.

Genuinely good knife right here I have had it for a few months and it's solid and is crazy sharp I haven't used it much but this thing is beyond normal sharpness be careful when you get it but yeah I would definitely recommend it has great value. Crazy good durability on this thing I mean its like a single solid piece which gives great peace of mind and lets you use it with like not fear (some people are saying the knife has gone through the sheath and cut them but it has worked pretty well for me so maybe it was just a fluke mine has been fine for a while

This is a handy, no-nonsense boot knife. It won't win a beauty contest because practicality trumps aesthetics here. There's nothing to break, come loose, or discolor with time. It's just a chunk of ball bearing steel that's been honed to a razor edge on both sides. I have much more expensive and ornate knives and the problem with those is that I really don't want to screw them up. This one is cheap enough to abuse and well-made enough to take it. The sheath is great. It secures the knife tightly and has a variety of options for integrating it with whatever you've got to work with. 1" leather or nylon straps fit perfectly. This is my second one. The first one is still alive and kicking but I let my son talk me out of it. A couple of weeks later, I regretted the decision so much that I ordered another. Though there was nearly ten years between both purchases, the new knife is just a great as the original. Happy with the purchase.

This is top notch, you won’t be disappointed. Shaves right out of the box. Super quality. Great price. Quality sheath.

Just got this knife today. I have to agree with a lot of other reviewers. The blade is excellent. The grinds are very nice. The sheath has a perfect tension, and the ulticlip is the perfect attachment point for the knife's intended purpose as a boot knife. However, the knife keeps coming out with sheath shavings on it and it is affecting some of the blade's sharpness. The blade is still quite sharp and effective for its intended purpose, but I feel that some sticklers made take issue with it, as inserting and removing the knife is trimin the sheath and slowly dulling the blade. Additionally, the handle is slick enough to give me pause to transition in hand from tip up to tip down holds in the hand. Under stress, this would be dangerous. It NEEDS a wrap. I am considering heat shrink tubing and/or paracord. But either way, I am keeping this knife. It is everything that a boot knife should aspire to be at its core. It just needs a more grippy and/or palm swelled handle. I wish CS hand drilled out the handle and attached inserts like it did on the updated DF Survivalist. That would make the balance perfect and give the blade the grip it needs. YMMV.

I’ve always wanted a no frills spear point boot knife but there were always negatives to product I’ve seen on the market. I am 6’2 with large hands and the handle is just long enough, along with the hollow center, to provide ample grip. I love the simplicity, it’s beautiful and clean with what appears to be a solid dark gray finish. Time will tell but being an affordable, simple knife, it’ll be an EDC so it will get beat up regardless. The double edge is sharp. 52100 is very nice steel and should be easy to sharpen. I live in a free state so it is legal but if you go to kommiefornia you will probably be thrown in the gulag for disobeying Bloc Kommrad Newsollini’s ridiculous laws. The sheath is awesome, I have high top leather boots and it secured very well with the clip on feature. The slots on the sheath should be a bit wider for belt carry, the clip mechanism could be longer for belts as a backup but I’m sure it’ll work out just fine. Wider slots would be cool in case you don’t want to trust a small clip. All around I’m happy. The guard doesn’t let your hand slip forward, the tip is needle like and the heft is just right, with balance found just south of the guard. Good job cold steel! Support Taiwan and not China, get one today!

I've been looking for a small, fixed blade, discreet knife, with a sheath, that I can put in my pocket when I walk. This knife fits the bill and fits in my sweatshirt pocket, vs. boot, quite nicely. I found the blade to be straight and sharp and didn't have any issues as mentioned in some other reviews. I like the finger guard on the knife handle which provides a firmer grip and safety in the event I actually have to use the knife. The clip on the sheath grips quite well and I had no problems with the knife falling out of the sheath or dragging on it per other reviews. For you girls out there, yes, this will firmly clip on the leg pocket of your yoga pants, but with the stretchiness of the fabric, you will not be able to easily extract the knife from the sheath if needed. I really like this knife and thought it was quite the bargain for the price point. It would make a good stocking stuffer and it's not just for the fellas.

I absolutely love this knife. I can conceal it really well because of the slim design and I know it will throw well to but I haven’t gotten to that part yet. It has some weight to it so I know it’s great for throwing. It doesn’t feel heavy in an uncomfortable way just to be clear on the weight part. It cuts just like a knife should and I have tested it cutting plenty of things and it’s flawless so far. Maybe once I start practicing how to throwing it I won’t have any problems. I feel like it’s worth the money personally because I can’t find a knife this big that I can conceal so easily and it’s a great boot knife to!

Acabamento robusto e funcional; a empunhadura é confortável mesmo com ausência de talas no cabo. Fio excelente e ponta muito aguda. Ponto de equilíbrio localizado no terço superior do cabo próximo à lâmina. Bainha rígida e trava a faca bem; o Ulti Clip é um detalhe que permite transportar a faca na cintura ou em bolso com segurança.

Arrived a day earlier than expected. Quality of the knife is excellent, nice sheath and metal clip too, feels military grade because of the metal spring clip. I bought it for an emergency EDC throwing knife, and so far I think it is the best boot knife for throwing. It slides perfectly out of my hand with no resistance, and the weight is nice too, not too light that it makes it hard to throw long distances, and not too heavy that it makes it annoying to carry daily. I find the smooth handle doesn't rub or catch things easily when you are wearing it, especially compared to other boot knives with rubberized handles.

Ein hervorragendes stiefelmesser. Bzw Dolch, alles in einem Stück gedruckt, es ist ja ein senk druckverfahren. Sehr scharf dieses Messer kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Lâmina maior e mais larga que a boot knife tradicional, com ótimo poder de corte; não é só uma “poker”. O cabo é curto, mas muito funcional nas mãos (uso luvas tamanho L). A bainha é discreta e prática, sem comprometer o perfil fino da faca. O Ulticlip completa o conjunto com perfeição.

Nice and sharp out of the box. Solid design. The clip on the sheath is awesome. Cold steel did a great job.
