The knife is not worth a penny of its price. For that amount of money, you could buy a Glock and a higher-end sharpener that would last for years. Let's start with the sheath—the sheath is so hopeless that after the second use, the knife just falls out with any quick movement. Also, the knife rattles inside it like a chosen nation's representative in an empty store, making noise with the slightest movement. On top of that, the worst part is the mounting to gear, which is as well thought-out as a 3-year-long special needs operation. The knife itself is indestructible, but the guard facing downward is as comfortable as a shotgun bullet in your skull.
Fixed-blade dagger featuring a Hidden Tang design, representing a further development of the wz.92 model—also recognized as "62 KS"—from the 62nd Special Company in Bolesławiec. In the early 1990s, soldiers from this unit contributed to creating a new knife for Polish scouts and commandos. In contrast to the original version, the wz.98 dagger does not have a handle storage compartment, resulting in enhanced tang strength and reliability.
Double-edged blade with a dagger-style profile crafted from robust spring steel. The blade is finished with a black matte oxide, increasing corrosion resistance and offering anti-reflective qualities. An ergonomic handle made of oil-resistant rubber features anti-slip grooves to ensure a firm grip. The steel cross guard serves to shield the hand from sliding onto the blade. Completing the handle is a heavy-duty pommel, which can also function as an auxiliary field tool.
Set includes a plastic sheath. The holster is designed with a dual loop system for belt attachment and is wrapped in nylon cord. Knife retention is secured by a steel clip that locks into a rectangular slot on the cross guard, preventing accidental movement. An additional mounting loop is found on the lower end of the sheath.

The knife is not worth a penny of its price. For that much money, you can buy a Glock and a higher-end sharpener that will last for many years. Let's start with the knife sheath—it is so hopeless that after the second use the knife falls out of it during any quick movement, and the knife rattles inside like a certain someone in an empty store, making noise at the slightest movement. Moreover, the worst part is the mounting to the gear, which is as well thought out as a 3-year-old’s special operation. The knife itself is indestructible, but the lower guard is as comfortable as taking a shotgun round to the head.

The knife design is brilliant, but there are a few things about it that make it seem like someone wanted to intentionally ruin it at the very end of the design process (a Russian mole?): - the guard is bent 'inwards', which is incomprehensible... but this can be quickly and easily fixed by unscrewing the head and turning the guard. I fixed it on mine and I recommend it. The overall characteristics like balance/ergonomics improved significantly, and you can use a 'saber grip'. - the sheath, which dulls the knife, or more precisely, the two screws that are screwed into the sheath?? I unscrewed them immediately and replaced them with small binding screws and covered the exposed metal in the sheath with a piece of kydex. - I replaced the metal doohickey with a piece of a black paper clip cut at an angle, and it works better and the knife comes out smoothly. - The steel is OK, but they could offer a version with, for example, 1.4116, which is cheap and just as durable.

A very well-made dagger. The non-slip handle made of molded rubber provides a really good grip, and the carbon steel used for the blade makes it possible to sharpen it like a scalpel, but the user must remember that such steel requires maintenance, but that's part of the enjoyment. And I really like the little eagle on the blade!

+ Good blade, pleasant balance and the handle feels good in hand +/- The sheath lock with the side push tab is quite convenient because you can take out the knife in a reverse/icepick grip by pushing the tab with just your pinky of the same hand, but the tab itself is a slightly bent metal strip so if it gets bent, that’s it for the lock - I’ve never seen a knife sharpened so unevenly and badly, one edge has a completely different slope than the other and the tip practically doesn’t exist (even goes into a stupid cardboard box with much more resistance than a budget folder but with a decent tip) because there is a horizontal line about 1mm towards one side (perpendicular to the blade), it could be fixed yourself but then after the black coating..., and the sheath itself is made of mediocre plastic-like material with clear machining marks, fit for a supermarket knife.

A classic of the Polish knife, inexpensive yet worthy of any knife collection. The construction and materials are solid, worth every penny. I recommend it with a clear conscience.
