## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bugout Bag Perfection!
*by A***E on July 6, 2012*

My first impressions when I saw the specs on the Piggyback were that there was no way a skeletonized knife this small could be useful. Man was I wrong! I ordered it on a whim ($7.20...at the least I could use it for a paring knife in a pinch) and expected the worst. Out of package, the knife is EXTREMELY sharp! In fact, I'd say at least 3-4 times sharper than my SOG Jungle Canopy, which cost me more than 5 times as much! In addition, unlike the Ka-Bar ZK Acheron, blade retention in the supplied sheath is excellent. The knife is made from 5Cr13 steel, which gives me some concerns about rust resistance, but I'm considering Duracoating the knife anyway, so the point is fairly moot. Just be aware that in normal usage, you will need to take care of the knife or it WILL rust on you. At 3-1/8" long, the handle leave something to be desired, but after cord wrapping it, the knife feels much better in hand. The 2-5/8" modified clip point blade is not large by any stretch of the imagination, but the blade shape more than makes up for this. The blade is wide, with a large amount of belly, making it versatile for a large variety of tasks including skinning, slicing, food prep, cutting rope, etc. The gimping, both on the thumb ramp and on the forward part of the blade spine, have good traction, and the forward section increases agility for fine cutting work dramatically. Finally, the full hollow grind makes it very easy to get a razor sharp edge on this knife, and the overall quality of the blade is obvious just from looking at it. Overall, this is an incredibly useful knife for a dizzying array of tasks, and for under $10, the value is off the scale. If you're looking for a neck knife or bugout bag knife, I'd strongly recommend you give the Ka-Bar Piggyback your consideration. There are certainly better options out there, but almost without exception, they are exhorbitantly overpriced. I could have bought 5 of these for the same price as a Becker Necker and laughed all the way to the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would be great
*by L***. on June 10, 2020*

OK, doing some reviews I never got to or forgot about.It's cool for what it is. I've bought a few for gifts and for myself years ago. It's nice for it's purpose, a piggyback. It's ultra-light, thin, small, Ka-Bar, inexpensive and sharp. I love the two location jimping. To be honest though, I've owned them for years now but never needed to use them. I have a few mid to large to ex-large knives and I had these in sheath pouches for small tasks or skinning but, I always have at least one pocket/EDC Knife on me always so it's never pulled out. But, like I said, it's ultra-light, thin, small, inexpensive and sharp. Oh, now I remember, the cheap plastic blade sheath... It's crap! If it actually retained the blade and the lanyard hole was actually useful (too small) I would neck-knife it all the time. I actually looked into getting kydex neck knife sheaths made once but the sheath would have been 2,3,4 times more than the price of the knife. I think I paid maybe $8 each, shipped. I would pay $10 or $12 for this if it had a better sheath... It would than be a great deal.

### ⭐⭐⭐ decent but nothing special
*by H***I on June 16, 2013*

decent knife, but horrid sheath, very heap feel and the blade gives when pressure is applied. I'm not hercules but I think I could snap it. Get the Columbia rock river knives instead....sorry Kabar lost this time.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030IX74A/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
