Oh yes! A fake tanto with a mini blade and plastic sheath, made in China. Foolish reviews earlier. Best use: opening Amazon boxes - although a box cutter or utility knife would be even better for this

Big fan of the budget cold steel brand, I bought this a couple of days ago, been scout carrying this since it's been delivered, very light, great grip. No complaints with this price at all.

The made in Taiwan version is well made and often on sale for $22-24.
The Kryton handle however, leaves much to be desired. It's not that Kryton won't last, it's that it is hard and needs a more uniform grip without high points.

I have the Mini Leatherneck with the swell in the handle and think I see what you're saying, it would be more comfortable if it was longer. On the upside mine is stamped with 8cr14 instead of 13, I guess that happens sometimes depending on what they have.

It may not be optimal for tactical/ninja operations, but it makes a GREAT poop knife!

For $20, that is one solid little knife, too.

I think it cost me like $11 because of the $10 off $20 offer for trying Prime on this one account.
