The knife is unfortunately not very sharp. The biggest downside is the sheath, which holds the knife ridiculously tightly, so when trying to pull the knife out a few times I either tore it off my belt or almost pulled my pants up to my chest. Terrible!

Handy dagger, good steel, the price is good for this steel, good company, I like this dagger because it can be easily hidden, it's easy to hold, nice shape, sharp, it can be used for other things.

Very good equipment. I’m very satisfied with it. I would definitely buy it again. No need to hesitate. Cold Steel is indeed a solid brand. I recommend shopping at militaria.pl.

It's quite hard to take out of the sheath. Other than that, it's incredible—I don't leave home without it. Sharp, although I still sharpened it further. Fits very well in the hand, and I have large hands.

Top-notch, I recommend it. For me, it's the ideal size for a defensive knife to feel confident without being big and uncomfortable to carry. I have a Cold Steel SR1 and Ti-Lite 4, but personally, this one suits better what it was created for.

Brilliant knife for self-defense. Easy to conceal, excellently made from top-quality materials. I highly recommend it to everyone because it’s definitely worth it.

Nice little knife for self-defense. It can be easily hidden and kept in inconspicuous places. Great quality of workmanship and materials used. I highly recommend it, it's worth getting one.

As expected from Cold Steel—great quality at a great price. Much better size than the Safe Maker II.

Fast shipping, the product makes a very good impression, everything's ok, I recommend it.

Great, solid knife. Factory sharpened to an extreme degree. Serves as a self-defense tool—very easy to conceal.

I rate it very highly, it sits perfectly in the hand, very intuitive grip. For me, the sheath is very good, you can attach it to a belt. The knife is supposedly dedicated to self-defense, but it's also quite good for opening packages, cutting cords, making holes in material, etc. For me, it's useful when climbing a steep slope, when there's nothing to grab and your legs lose grip. Just stick it firmly in the ground and it becomes a 'temporary handle' :) Besides that, it's very lightweight.

Good quality workmanship. Factory sharpening as expected from CS - no objections.

Great little knife, worth its price. Durable, I recommend it! I would buy it again.

The ideal push dagger, in my opinion, better than a karambit in some respects. You can cut with a forehand or a swing, and thrust—easily switching between the above. Large handle ensures a secure grip. INTERESTING FACT: For example, in the small Cold Steel Best Pal dagger, the flat side of the blade is flat :), in the Safemaker it is concave, which greatly affects the ease of cutting and sharpening—the cuts are slightly curved due to the shape. Japanese chisels are made similarly—thanks to the indentation, they cut superbly.

Extremely sharp and durable knife, perfect for personal protection.
