MASALONG Outdoor Survival claw Tactical teeth Knife Double edged sharp Fixed Blade Knife With Sheath (5CR Black Stone wash Green handle)

I have owned this knife for over 4 months so I can give a honest review now to help anyone thinking about buying one. This is one terrific custom Karambit knife! I bought a couple before on Amazon some for more or less money but I quickly returned them as the steel was junk, they were only cool looking, or they were dull as my grandma's butterknife others only comfortable if held in one position.This knife from its overall look to the fact it comes extremely sharp as well as comfortable either way you carry it and the quality steel holds an edge for a long time makes it outshine the others for similar price or even those a lot more expensive.I own hundreds of knives and I can honestly say this is my favorite EDC knife. The Kydex holster is made very nice and keeps the knife secure and we'll hidden and avoids printing. The seller was extremely helpful as I wanted both the Kydex and leather holster for it and they have me a terrific price to include the both holsters.If a weapon jambs or is unavailable due to location or fight for your life this knife is well made for self defense. Yes, it's a bit over the top as far as a box opener but if you want to get some attention or show off to your friends you certainly will do so with this beauty. I have spent over 10× more for a knife but this one is fantastic and though I wouldn't want it to IF it happens to get lost I wouldn't cry (much) over it kinda like when my Microtech was stolen 😭. I had to wait about a month to receive mine PLUS it was $20 more so it's nice to see their stocking it for 1 day delivery for Prime members like myself. As for the price reduction I'm surprised and probably buying the Damascus one, once I'm finished writing this. I see other buyers giving fewer stars but I can truthfully say that mine has been awesome in everyway, it's built nice but as all products your sure to come across a dud here and there BUT I would have to say with the helpful staff and quick answers and nice people I can't see them not backing up their product.This is a great gift or item for knife lovers and especially law enforcement as I have been told that a Karimbit in the boot in a fight with a jambed weapon or perp who has knocked it away it can be a important last defence tool that can easily save their/your life and is hard to disarm from you with a finger in the ring! I'm happy to answer any questions from potential buyers or owners. But it's safe to say wether for yourself or gift to someone else it will most surely be appreciated!

This Masalong Karambit styled knife is just amazing! Right out of the box this knife is super sharp, so make sure you never touch the blade, I made that mistake not expecting the quality to be that good, so I learned the hard way! The knife sits perfectly in it's sheath, and you don't need to worry about it ever popping out as the friction is pretty good. Even with that, as long as you give it a good pull it will pop out, making it pretty easy to open up and use as well. The double sided blade makes this thing a great tool for whenever you would need it, and the full tang makes it feel extremely well put together and sturdy! While I am not a Damascus Steel expert, but to me it looks real, and beautiful. You can feel the texture of the layers of steel and it makes the overall finish of the knife truly stunning. Overall, I completely recommend this knife!

I haven't spent more than a couple of minutes with this product yet, so there may be further updates. Having said that - the package arrived when promised, in good condition. The box - as others have mentioned - has a form-fitting foam cutout that matches the knife and sheath perfectly. The knife itself came sheathed and wrapped in plastic up until the point, where about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of blade were unwrapped and exposed. Some light lubricant was on the blade and handle - not thick, just enough to preserve it.Once I cleaned that off, I tried the sheath insert and release - it's tight. The blade isn't going to fall out any time soon. The belt clamp on the sheath is clearly reversible, and appears quite easy to switch.Regarding blade sharpness... I took a sheet of paper and was easily able to slice it into strips using the primary edge of the knife. Smooth slices, not a hint of hang-up or tearing, so this knife comes perfectly sharp.The spine edge is slightly less sharp than the primary edge, and won't cut paper - but I can assure everyone that it's more than sharp enough to cut leather, skin, etc. on that side. (Personally, I don't think the back edge needs to be paper-sharp.) The back-spine has the notches displayed in the image; these notches are as they appear in the image, quite sharp, effectively a double-sided serration. The two notches closest to the handle are likewise sharp - but their configuration is such that even if your thumb rides up on them, you won't get cut. (Not sure what practical value they have, unlike the primary serrations that would clearly slice into anything instantly.)Regarding grip - I have large hands, and both the grip and the ring fit well. The blade size is 3.1 inches, as stated... I say this simply because the image gives no real sense of scale.Overall, I can find no fault with the knife or sheath upon unboxing and initial handling. If there are no further updates, then I can state that this knife is absolutely worth the price.*****************************************ETA 1/30/2019*****************************************A couple of things to note: First, I misspoke about the serration. The two serrations closest to the handle on both the spine and cutting edge are, as I said, double-sided. The other serrations (along the spine) further away from the handle are standard serrations, meaning flat on one side. I see this as a good thing, really, since it makes keeping those useful cutting serrations sharp fairly easy. As far as the four double-sided serrations go (spine and cutting side), I think they're either decorative, or perhaps useful for cutting cord/twine - maybe. :)When I got the knife home, I repeated the paper test with the same results - cutting side of the knife sliced strips off without even the slightest issue. Spine side wouldn't cut the paper at all, but... as stated above, it's more than sharp enough to cut skin, leather, etc.I did an additional test - shaving hair off my forearm. Yep, razor sharp on the cutting edge. :)I have to say that this knife is exceptional. I have more expensive knives that aren't as good as this thing - and I may very well buy another Masalong because of it.Full 5 stars, no change at all.

I got this because I was looking for a knife for camping/hunting.Pros:Full tang - I don't have to worry about it snapping away from the handleDecent edge - Pretty sharp, not razor sharp, but not badSerrated edge - I generally like some serration for additional cutting assistanceSolid scabbard - It rattles a little, but it does not come out.Cons:- Hard to pull out, which could be good since it will not fall out, but it will take some practice to get it out quickly because of the curved blade. The tip sometimes catches in the scabbard a bit also.- Scabbard clip - You need a belt or some other strap to clip this onto. I don't typically wear a belt, so I cannot just clip it onto my pants. This may not be a con for some, and the clip is solid.Overall, pretty happy with my purchase
