Obake Everyday Carry Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath: Stainless Steel Plain Edge Blade, Cord-Wrapped Stainless Steel Handle, 2367

Decent blade steel. Quality tight wrap of handle. Hard to find fault for the price. I would not rely on this for a so called self defense tool. No guard to prevent hand from sliding on to the sharp edge. BTW. The blade is ok sharp. Not nearly as sharp as one would expect. Will be sharpening this soon. It takes a little bit of trial and error in finding the right place to thread through your belt as in where you do so. In front or behind the belt loop nearest where yku will tuck the knife into the inside of the belt or even your wait band. The lanyard length is set where when the knife is tucked in, the handle will still stick out enough to reach it. You pull on the handle and the lanyard keeps the sheath attached to your belt. One hand to deploy. Two to reinsert into sheath and tuck back under belt/waistline.

Some how I thought the pattern on the blade was painted on (just light gray paint over a dark gray steel blade). Actually the blade is mirror polished then acid etched to form the dark gray areas. That’s a whole new world from some paint on a blade. it is high quality and durable. Good job CRKT ! The wrapping that forms the handle could not be any nicer. It is just great ! Firm and durable and lots of grippy surface without being harsh or prickly. I like it a lot. The knife has a bit of heft and weight to it due to all the steel in the handle area so it feels like a serious knife / tool rather than feeling cheep and light. The edge is sharp enough and well formed; usable out of the box. Again, way to go CRKT. As far as the sheath goes and being hard to pull the knife out of it; I am quite used to these kinds of knives and sheaths and find the best way to pull the knife is to not so much pull on the knife but to push the sheath off with our thumb. Then it is a synch and not the least bit difficult. To get the hang of it start with the knife upside down / edge up and not on your belt. There is a large area of the sheath on the edge side that it is easy to push your thumb against. Don’t worry about contacting the blade edge with your thumb there is a fair amount of handle down in the sheath that your thumb will drop onto when the sheath pops loose. Once you get the feel for this kind of knife draw then you can push your thumb against the rim of the sheath opening on the side of the knife to draw the knife with the edge down. it works quite well once you get used to the idea. My sheath is just right from the factory as far as how much retention it grips the knife with. You want to be able to run down a rocky hill and not have the knife jump out of the sheath. Or carry the knife upside down as a neck knife without there being any possibility of it falling out. In other words it should really snap in there firmly which mine does. If you think the sheath is stupid hard to draw the knife I would recommend getting another sheath made. If you are stubborn, as I am, as a last ditch effort one can heat up the sheath with a heat gun and spread the opening open with some kind of wooden wedge etc and leave it in there until the sheath is cool to the touch. This takes a surprising amount of heat so keep heating and wedging until the plastic suddenly becomes pliable. This stuff isn’t just your ordinary plastic it can resist a fair amount of heat and just sit there and take it. I know this from adjusting other brands of similar fiber reinforce plastic sheaths. Bottom line I have zero complaints about my new knife. For the price it is an astounding product. I wish the people who made it got paid enough (though I fear they didn’t) ; they did a great job.

CRKT is becoming my go-to brand. This knife is an excellent value for the price. Very tough made, solid quality, priced comparable to inferior knives. Ok, let’s just admit it, given the design of this knife, it’s not an ordinary pockets knife. It won’t carry well in a pocket. It’s a shank; this knife was designed for self defense. And after a lot of handling and carrying, it seems quite perfectly designed for its purpose (I’ve obviously never used it for self defense, so I can’t review it’s performance on actual physical testing). The sheath is excellent; great retention and the lanyard works well strapping the knife tip-up style on the belt. I recommend reworking the lanyard as shown in my photo, to carry as I mentioned (11 o’clock for me). Keeps the knife quick at hand, easy to draw, and highly accessible for last resort defense, while still being flexible enough to move with you and not jab your gut out. I was worried about the grip on this knife, flowing right into the blade as it does, but the grip is excellent; knife stays glued to your hand. And the edge. The edge came right out of the box sharp enough to shave the ears off a gundark. The point is also well sharpened to a nearly needle-like tip. Just drawing it out to cut a package, the tip barely nicked my finger upon leaving the sheath, and sliced through, surprisingly deep, with almost zero effort. If you’re looking for an excellent, tactical everyday carry knife, look no further than the Obake.

Dude. This knife is awesome. Im going to pay 50$ for just the looks alone! Very sharp out the box. A very nice knife to add to the collection!

This is truly a beautiful looking blade. The handle is super grippy and the sheath holds the knife in tightly. Unfortunately mine arrived pretty dull. I’d also like to mention that some other fixed blades at this budget come with pocket clips that allow for more carry options. This knife only comes with a little lanyard that is supposed to be tied to a belt loop. But if you’re not wearing pants with a belt loop, you’re out of luck. I took the pocket clip from my $30 omesio knife and put it on this one. I’d also like to add that this is marketed as a self defense knife. I would not recommend this as a self defense knife because there’s no finger choil or guard stopping your hand from slipping up on the blade if you hit a hard surface (bone). I know the handle is grippy, but I would only consider something that keeps your hand completely secure during backwards forces on a stab

finally a good knife from CRKT. I already had a big one from the same brand. I loved it, but one day I wanted to fix the bearings and they all fell out, because it was made cheap. BUT I LOVE THIS ONE. you can carry it on your bald and pull it pikal.

Il est très joli, tiens bien dans la main et c’est une vraie lame de rasoir

Exelente portabilidad pensé que sería incómodo pero no, así este pegado a tu piel el material no es frío ni raspaso tiene un buen filo aunque mejorable

Wowwww! I can tell you this knife is really sharp. It didn't took 15 minutes from its opening that I cut myself because I was negligent. I thought it wasn't really sharp from factory so I put it aside on the couch. When I moved to reach for it, my finger went straight for the blade. Blade was so "scalpel" sharp that I almost didn't felt it, but only felt a little sting. After a few seconds, I saw blood coming out from my finger. At that moment, I did understand that it sharp enough from factory that you could even practice chirurgical interventions. Ahahha Seriously, since then the blade is always in its well-made fiberglass-reinforced polymer sheath. Pass your belt through the string loop and fix to your belt with the skull's bead. Works great. Give it enough slack so it can be tucked inside the pants at the 1 o'clock position (if you're righty). If you have a little belly, it even can be worn more discreetly, as it cannot even be seen. Untuck your shirt and it becomes invisible. Seriously, this knife is made for a self-defense purpose and looks like a high quality japanese knife. Awesome tool. Must buy for the price.
