## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little knife
*by J***N on November 10, 2024*

I'm not sure why, but of many knives I own, I have a special affection for this one. The steel is nice, holds an edge, but sharpens easily. I like the ring you can put your finger through and still hold it perfectly. Because of the sheath, it is pretty easy to set it down and loose it, yet I keep buying replacements!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Icy cold
*by D***E on February 17, 2024*

Cold steel needs no reviews as the name speaks for itself and stands for a good quality knife. The price was right, was exactly what I wanted, feels good in my hand, and is very sharp. I have no regrets or complaints on this purchase and I would buy again and will if I lose it or someone steals it cause they bought some cheap a** pos and like this better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value!
*by B***N on April 1, 2025*

Very nice knife for the money. I was surprised to discover it’s made in Japan (just assumed it would be made in China at this price point). Wish it came with a small belt clip to expand carry options, but that’s certainly not a dealbreaker.
