Beautiful little boot knife
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.

Crazy good durablity
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

My second one
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.

Good size and discreet
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.

My inital thoughts.....
I've owned a lot of knives. Big ones, small ones, cheap ones, and eating ramen noodles until my next check ones. This knife, the Drop Forged Boot Knife, is unique because of the monolithic design. You don't see many of those. The nice thing about that is there's no plastic pieces to damage and it makes it feel heavy and solid. I found that wrapping leather cording around the handle makes it more comfortable to grip with my big hands but you have to wrap it in a way that doesn't interfere with the sheath. It takes some practice to perfectly wrap around this knife handle but it's worth it. The metal is a decent high carbon steel, but there's better steel out there. The edge is razor sharp. It will shave my arm hair. The sheath seems to be built well and with a higher impact plastic. It looks like it's two pieces riveted together like a sandwich. The plastic doesn't look bonded in any way though I could be wrong because I haven't taken it apart. The clip is definitely meant for a boot. I don't wear boots but my girlfriend does and she says the sheath is slightly too large for her liking but she could still have it equipped in her boot all day and not really notice it. The clip holds well. It's a separate piece that can be removed from the sheath. My favorite part about this knife is the price. It's a good knife for an amazing price. Cold Steel sells this knife on their website for almost twice ad much as I paid here. This is an excellent choice for a budget knife, maybe one of the best choices. I would highly recommend the Cold Steel Drop Forged Boot Knife to anyone looking to spend as little money as possible for a high quality blade.

Great lil piece...
Beautiful, very cool. Good weight, but the handle is a bit small. Nice case but I wouldn't trust it upsidedown while running. Could be tighter.

Great for the cost!
It is a solid, sharp double sided knife. Perfect for the vehicle or pack. Large for edc, but great for camping, hunting etc

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.
