The knife is made of 1095 High Carbon Steel, so if not taken care of it will rust. It throws some big sparks off of firesteel. The handle is made of micarta and looks beautiful. This is a durable little knife, I have used it to strike firesteel, and baton wood, and it is still as sharp as when I got it. it comes sharp enough to pass the paper test. It is very easy to sharpen aswell, holds an edge nicely. There are many carry options, you can carry it on a belt loop, clip it to you belt, make it a neck knife, etc. Overall it is a great knife for the price. I highly recommend it.

Ok its not a BK14 and you are not paying for one but it is a reasonable little utility knife for the the wife and kids Bug out bag (as a backup utility blade). It's too small to scare anyone but will do most small jobs at hand, the belt clip is too small to fit on a large mens belt ( gun belt) and the clippy thing for a belt loop does not seem like a great way to carry any knife you want to keep ( for long) . You could lash it on with paracord or get a tec lock. Sheath retention is good (wont fall out)but may be a tiny bit loose
My daughters friend wanted one immediately so that is a plus. it can be sharpened pretty easily,it has micarta handles. I believe it's made from the standard Chinese stainless that sharpens fairly well but doesn't have terrific edge retention. It's a trade off but at this price what do you expect sv30, d2 tool steel?

Great knife overall. The steel is nice, but will rust if not taken care of. The micarta handles are wonderful. Great build, and great quality control. A definately recommended knife. Great carry options on the sheath as well. 5 stars!
