Cold SteelMarauder 9" Japanese AUS8A Clip Point Blade 5.125" Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Outdoor Hunting Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath

Very sharp, nice grip, snap in place sheath holds knife but allows for easy and quick pullout. Like the grip design and material. Does have a hole in the end of the handle, which I insert a small piece of Paracord through and configure a small loop. Why you ask? From a experience that I had. Set the knife down and accidentally bumped it and it slide down into a log jam. Finally retrieve the knife but by adding the Paracord loop through the handle could have snagged it a lot quicker. Comfortable size not heavy, attaches easy to your gear carrier. Cold steel has been a reliable brand . Money well spent.

Great knife. The handle provides a good grip. Came sharp and ready to go. Very sturdy construction. The Sheathe works very well holds the knife perfectly,and Heavy-duty

It's a nice knife. I bought the serrated. Good quality and weight. But I'm a little disappointed, because they sent it in the stone-washed finish. The picture shows stone-washed for the plain edge, and glossy for the serrated. Consequently I could only give 4 stars.

Another great big sharp knife from my favorite brand,this won't disappoint or break the bank it arrived very sharp and

A great product and I would recommend to others !

I have a legitimate 75+ cold steel knives and other than the Gurkha kukri this is by far the one I'd least like the get slashed with. Cold steel serrations are the best out there bar none. Mine came extremely sharp. Sheath fits well with a nice amount of room between the inside and the cutting edge. I personally like the stone wash finish. I have the og model with the plain edge and polished blade and yes that is sweeter but this is a 100% self defense knife and you really don't want that sun/light glare flickering in your face when you're trying to defend your life possibly...I personally always loved the rubber cold steel handles and this is no exception. The sub hilt takes a lil getting used to but is quite comfortable for what it is even in a reverse grip.. my only gripe is the lip of the sheath flares up an you can't get your finger in between the 2 hilts for the draw. A few minutes with a dremel will fix that as the retainers for the handle are low enough to grind enough off to fix that.. still not bad at all to draw by any means just would be easier to be able to get you finger in between the hilts.

Sharp as a spoon.

Fit and finish is nice, came RAZOR sharp. Light and nimble in hand, and grip gives excellent retention. This is NOT a camp/survival/hunting/Bushcraft knife. If you are looking for that, this is not for you. This is a purpose made knife, made for what the name implies, and for what it looks like it is made for. I would recommend buying this with the cold steel Bowie trainer, and perhaps some books that are on Amazon as well that teach proper technique for the use of this style of knife
