our reviewer SQmS John Sargent, 1 acS, dfTc says…
"I found the chain very strong, I wouldn't hang it around my neck as its too rough, but I would tie it onto my battle vest. The sheath
itself is very good, strong and can also clip to other kit. The blade is very sharp but can only be used for certain functions, for example
gutting fish or animals and cutting belts/cord etc. It's not a combat knife in my opinion or a throwing knife. Because of the short
handle style inexperience individuals could end up cutting themselves. I tried to break the blade itself again very strong piece of
equipment and the blade sharpener is good idea." 8/10
