SZCO Supplies Commando Knife, Black

Um ótimo artigo de decoração, podendo ser útil como punhal mas melhor para decoração

This item arrived just as described, and it has even surpassed my expectations! I would definitely buy this item again!

One Sunday evening, I was struck with desire for a Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife, and happened upon this item. Thirteen dollars and two days later, this arrived at my door. Because I live in the real world and not a fantasyland, I am satisfied with it. It's metal. It's pointy. It's sharp. It looks menacingly cool, just like a real Fairbairn-Sykes. It's not as well made as a real F-S. The balance point isn't perfectly located behind the hilt, so it's not quite as nimble. The included sheath did not fit well at first, but when I squeezed the sides together and pushed the knife in forcefully the problem was solved. In short, it is exactly what I expected and will serve quite well for my intended purpose, as a display piece. Mine was sharp out of the box, but don't expect that, because these are probably manufactured in a poorly lit concrete room by a barefoot teenager using a bicycle powered grinder. The metal probably came from a Fiat Panda melted down by a goatherd with a blowtorch. And that's fine, because I only paid $13 for it If you bet your life on a $13 Pakistani made "commando knife", you are a moron. I'm not sure exactly what some of these Tier 1 operators who wrote the other reviews were expecting for thirteen bucks, but here's the deal: an F-35 costs more '07 Corolla, but if your commute does not require air superiority, the Corolla will do just fine at a much more agreeable price point. If you want a Fairbairn-Sykes to display, or just to play with, this is your Corolla. It is visibly close enough to honor the legacy of the soldiers who carried them. And if you are a fellow overgrown child, i am happy to report that the blade is quite adequate for sliding between the ribs of countless imaginary German sentries. If you need a tactical weapons platform for high speed low drag edged weapon combat operations against our nation's enemies, look elsewhere.

The knife is good as a display item. I used this on as a centerpiece for a military promotion plaque. The tip on the scabbard barely hangs on and is only good for storing the knife until you use it for a craft. It's not suitable a a carry item as the leather is thin and the tip cover is barely held on.

It's a cheap knife alright, plastic guard , cheap handles etc. Is good for practice and expendable, but not something to carry in the real world.
