I was shocked at the quaility for the price August 8, 2009

Recently I recieved one of these knives for my 62nd birthday. FIRST, let me say,this is NOT one of those cheap hollow handle knives with a compass in the handle. This knife handle seems to be almost, if not, a full tang. The metal is nice and thick and I can see it goes well into the handle. The blade looks to be about the same thickness as the Buck 119 which sells locally for around 45 bucks. However the warranty of the Buck is better but I never registered mine. If I know it's good and they know it's good that is good enough for me. My Buck 119 is made of 420 (?) stainless which has had some stuff added to make it a high carbon steel. It's tempered very well in my opinion. It's a good very knife but it cost a LOT more. For years I have always been a Ka-Bar, Kershaw, Buck type of guy and cheap knives always look cheap in my opinion,this knife, however, does NOT look cheap to me. Immediately I see quaility. I would have guessed a knife like this to cost much more..It's made of 440 Stainless steel which comes in 3 grades, 440A,B,C..all of them are good but, sadly, the maker does not tell us which grade this knife is made from nor what rockwell hardness it's tempered to. VERY important information missing on the discription..Temper makes a big difference in knives of any metal. Good metal, bad temper = weak or brittle knife. Not the best metal BUT good temper = fairly good knife. First thing I did was to put a keen edge on it and it took it well. It takes a while to sharpen to a razor edge and requires some skill because the metal seems to be VERY hard which is good because hard metal holds an edge longer. Some people don't want a razor edge on a knife like this and it comes out of the box sharp enough for them..I have a Kershaw 1011L which I had just sharpened so I compared the two knives. BOTH Shaved big chunks of hair off my leg. My wife is going to be shocked. BUT, hey, it's improtant to me that a knife holds a razor edge, gotta test it somewhere..The sheath is similar to my Buck 119 sheath. Neither of them have a leg tie but nylon is easy to burn. A tiny hole using a red hot wire can be burned in the end and a tie can be added. I LOVE this knife..I live on a farm near a swamp and once in a while an ole cougar (or something making scary sounds) comes throught the bottoms. I carry this knife held by a belt tossed over my neck and shoulder. It rides comfortably on my chest and can be removed easily. This knife does not have a blood groove which I found strange but then my Buck 119 blood grove is not all that big and the Kershaw 1011L don't have a blood groove at all. It seems a lot of knives don't have a blood grove. Maybe they are not all that necessary. The spear point seems to be good for stabbing. Yesterday, I jamed the blades of my riding mower on some fabric. My dog had dragged his blanket into the lawn and I didn't see it in time..I was cutting, prying and abusing the heck out of my new knife getting that fabric off my blades. I took the opportunity to give this knife a test and she held up great. With all the prying I was surprised I did not break the point off. IF all M Tech knives are made this well the prices may start to rise.. I would not mind owning two of these. I am going to show a lot of my friends this knife. I have NOT chopped trees or limbs with mine and it may be the hard metal would not hold up to that type of abuse, BUT.. I don't chop limbs with my razor sharp knives anyway. I use Machete for that. .I never go into the woods with less than TWO razor sharp knives.. This knife will be my first line of defence in case of attack. My Buck 119 will be my back up and my buck 110 folder in my pocket my last knife out. The rubber handle has a hole for a lanyard located near the end. The rubber handle gives good grip with wet or bloody hands. Add a lanyard to the handle to keep from dropping it. If you google "Bear, Knife, Attack" you will read that it's possible to defend yourself against Bears and Cougars with a knife..They are becoming more agressive and I recommend every hiker carry one of these and another knife for a back up..Put the lanyard loop over your wrist if you fight a predator so you don't drop it. They may knock the knife out of your hand. Alligators are getting bad here in La.. It takes a long blade to hit the spinal cord just behind the head. That is the BEST way to stop a gator. I saw a video of a gator swimming with what looked to be a Buck 119 stuck firmly in his neck all way to the hilt. A six inch blade may not be long enough for some gators. I like the almost 9 inch long blade on this knife. It should reach a vital organ in almost any animal. I carry mine for protection..I trust my life to this knife, well almost, because I carry at least 2 knives in the woods and most of the time I carry 3. One folder and two fixed blades.. The ole woodsman that I am gives this knife 5 stars. I also give Amazon a 5 star rating for good service in the past.. NO I am NOT affilated. I am simply a happy customer who is very happy with his product..
