Review: Best Fixed Blade Knife in the World? Of Course Not. Best Value Fixed Blade? Very Possibly. - I saw this knife was highly recommended, and I was curious how good a $30 knife could be. So I picked one up. Summary: This knife performed well beyond expectations for a $30 knife. It is NOT superior to similar knives from Benchmade, Cold Steel, Lion, Joker, etc. But it is more than 90% as good at a fraction of the price. Compared to other knives in its price range? In my limited experience, I haven't found one that compared. To be fair, the under-$50 knife market has lately seen huge improvements in quality, so if there aren't comparably good, fixed blade knives for a similar price today, there will be tomorrow. The reality about high-value knives is, I'm more likely to carry knives like this in questionable conditions because 1) it WILL do what I need it to do, and 2) I won't be as worried about losing it. You can buy better quality knives, but you'll need to pay some multiple of $30, and in some cases, an order of magnitude more. In fact, this little knife is so good, I'm looking at picking up a couple more Watchman/Brother knives from desertcart. Observations: Blade: This is 14C28N steel, which is an excellent stainless steel for outdoor use. It's nearly rust proof, holds an edge pretty well, is easy to sharpen, and best of all, it is very tough. The blade was beautifully finished, as well finished as knives I have that cost several times more. I chose this particular model for its sheepsfoot blade shape. The blade is a partial flat grind with a sharpening choil in front of the handle guard. The moderately sized handle guard will help prevent your hand from slipping onto the blade during heavy use. Some jimping is cut into the spine of the blade, just in front of the handle. Handle: The handle is made from brown, polished Micarta, which has smooth-edged grooves to aid grip. It's held on by screws, so the handle can be easily replaced if so desired. Sheath: It's a pancake Kydex, black and functional. It holds the knife securely with only slight rattling when the knife is secure. It is right handed, so take that into account. It has a small ledge in line with your thumb which allows for directed thumb pressure to dislodge the knife from the sheath--this is perfect; the knife cannot fall out, but it can easily be withdrawn. It also has a clip which allows you to carry it attached to your belt in either vertical or scout carry. What I Like: Just about everything. It was sharp when it arrived. But I wanted to do a little carving on a wooden puppet head, so I stropped the blade before trying it on the puppet head. It worked very well, much better than I thought it would, based on the handle size. I was surprised by how easy it was to use on small work. What I Don't like: The handle is a bit too thin for my taste. While I had no trouble controlling it, I found that my hand became fatigued more quickly than I would have liked. What Is It Good for? Pretty much anything where a small knife is useful. EDC, hiking, whittling, campsite, etc. Being a good quality, stainless steel, it would also make a good knife for fishing without having to worry about rust.
Review: Great knife for the money! - For the money, this is a great knife. Look, feel, steel... all there. The kydex sheath it came with will be replaced though due to fit issues (it rattles a little and has an open seam toward the tip.) Overall the knife is good but I decided it wasn't for me. I like my small fixed blades to be thin and slicing and this was too thick. It also wasn't good to deploy and re sheath. Might be suited better to a leather sheath. The "teklock" supplied also won't fit a regular sized 1 3/8" belt. Also, the blade came unevenly ground with a few scratches on it. It would be better served to be a tumble finish to hide scratch and scuff marks. Also, the micarta scales were "mashed" on the raised edges. Not a huge deal for such a cheap knife but all these issues made me decide not to keep it. Could be a good neck knife (albeit somewhat heavy) or pocket carry in the long side pocket of carhartts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This knife is a "steal."
*by D***S on March 19, 2025*

I am giving this knife a 5 stars but really 4.5. The knife didn't come very sharp, otherwise the knife is great. 1) The 14c28n steel is strong, stainless, and the blade sharpens easy. 2) To get this steel with a great handle and sheath for around $32 is a great bargain. Most knives are D2 at this price range, which isn't stainless steel. 3) The micarta handle is contoured great so it grips well and the length of about 4" is also great for my hands. 4) Most fixed blades have minimal contouring or a lite pattern. The grip was one of the main reasons that I picked this knife. The handle length might not be perfect for big hands but it should be worth trying it out. 5) The description says "Navy" but it looks dark green to me. Green is my favorite so I am not complaining. 6) The blade design isn't my first choice but I wanted to try it and I am glad that I did. 7) The knife fits well in the kydex sheath. 8) The belt clip is bulky but I am using this knife as a neck knife so the clip isn't that important to me and I'll buy an UltiClip later if necessary. 9) The weight of the knife is fine for neck carry. All in all, I am very happy with this purchase and I doubt you'll find something better at the current price. Other 14c28n knives go for much more. D2 is fine but not stainless so the quality and price make this knife a 'steal.' 😀 This knife would make a great and affordable present or Father's day gift.
