Cold SteelLeatherneck SF 6-3/4" German D2 Steel w/Black Powdercoat Clip Point Fixed Blade Outdoor Camping Hunting Utility Knife | 5" Kray-Ex Handle, Weather-Resistant Secure-Ex Sheath

If you love kabar knives like I do then you'll love the Leatherneck-sf. It has a thicker blade, wider tang, more textured rubber handle and the hand gard is turned up so it does dig into my hand. Super sharp, rarely needs a touch up but easy to sharpen

This knife has been through quite a bit, I've used it for batoning, chopping through sappy pine branches, feather sticking, being dropped several times edge down on concrete for testing. The D2 steel is probably the best way to go for a knife like this, and given that Ka-bars official D2 option is double the price of this I couldn't recommend it more.There is a few issues however, firstly the handle is made of rubber, which has amazing grip but will wear out eventually over time, not sure if it's something repairable but it may be. The clip that holds the knife on the frog is held by a single seam, which isn't confidence inspiring to say the least.Some pros-Edge retention is amazingThicker tang that official Ka-Bar offeringsGrip is solid, comfortable, and grippy.Scabbard holds knife very well, frog isn't amazing but not terrible.Some cons-Rubber handle will wear out over timesingle stitch to secure knife to frogfinish isn't super durable, but definitely reasonable(Nitpick): The lettering is very bold and lacks subtly, not something that affects usability at all but just a little thing I don't love.Conclusion-I would buy this knife a million times again, it's priced insanely competitively compared to other options and never disappointed. Being dropped edge first on concrete and not even dulling a noticeable amount was a great plus. For outdoor or even tactical uses, this knife would perform great.

I just recieved this item, but so far it seems like a great knife.

I beat on this thing, the edge can hold for quite a long while. I will say that if your whacking into thick branches it will eventually roll the edge but it's an easy enough fix, it's a good deal for the money, the blade can get stuck in the sheath and isn't always easy to pull out; which i know you don't want it to fall out but I have to use both hands to get this thing to release at times. I got a leather sheath made and it's a whole lot nicer. Blade is a blade, it does it's job, things got a good bit of heft to it and skins dear okay. Keep it dry, as that edge does take to rusting if you aren't diligent. I'd call this the 'good' mall ninja knife, it's not going to win against a Ka-Bar or a buck knife but it's better than a lot of knives I've used.

Just opened the box for the Leatherneck. It was well packaged and in perfect condition even though it was mailed in a soft bag from Amazon. Delivery was only a couple of days after my order was placed. Always pleased with Amazon serviceNow for the knife. It came very sharp with a light bead of oil on the blade. The blade is perfectly straight and it appears made to last a lifetime even with heavy use. I find it hard to believe the quality of this knife for the price. I was going to buy the Ka Bar but after reading the reviews I decided on the leatherneck. The knife is sturdy and I like that the piece between the blade and handle is thicker than a Ka Bar and it is not off set as I have seen on the Ka Bar knives. The metal is very smooth and shaped to fit the hand comfortably. . I am very pleased with this knife and it does live up to the Cold steel description.The sheath is perfect. It removes easily but does not fall out when turned. I may cut off the cloth clip because it is not needed with this sheath. I recommend the leatherneck without reservation.

I always wanted a Ka-bar knife but because of the rat tail tang I never purchased one. The Cold Steel Leatherneck SF is much stronger and modern knife. The D2 steel is great. The SecuEx sheath fit perfectly. Although the Leatherneck wasn’t designed to be a bush craft knife if you are a city person and only go to the woods every now and then this knife will serve well. It is a fighting knife, camping knife, a self defense knife, jack of all trade kinda knife. Mine came almost hair shaving sharp and that is okay. Highly recommended.

An amazing cold steel product, would give it a 99/100, the 1 point off being the steel cap wasn't exactly flush with the full tang. For $65 tho, one hell of a sexy knife. It's one of those "you gotta hold it" because the pictures don't do justice. Great weight, balance, the grip is amazing, came RAZOR SHARP, the sheath is badass, and most of all, my friend was super stoked to get it as a gift.

Great product, awesome knife, gets the job done and will last a lifetime if you take care of it. very sharp comes with a kydex sheath, and webbing for your belt. I recommend this knife very much worth the money.
