Surprisingly doesn’t suck,
This is an exact copy of a S&W neck knife. Mine is branded Maxam. Bought it on impulse for a few bucks.
Amazingly, it’s good for what it is. It’s made of fairly thin (but stiff) stock and beveled only on one side, so the edge angle is quite acute. Once you refine the edge a bit, it cuts very well. Many of these square “tantos” are tough blunt instruments for hammering through walls, floors, stumps, and what have you. Not this one. It’s more of a cutter.
The sheath is very secure Kydex or similar. A good push with the thumb unsheaths the knife with no problem. Nice feel to the handle even though it’s a skeleton.
The grind is accurately executed. Very surprising!
The steel is 420J2, a bottom-end knife-grade stainless in terms of hardness and edge-retention, but good in terms of corrosion resistance and toughness. It will hold an edge OK, just not as well as a higher-carbon steel. And in my experience, this common Chinese 420 steel is impossible to break. Dent or bend, maybe. Chip or break, doubtful.
The S&W is probably made of 440C, a better steel in terms of edge holding.
I wanted to laugh derisively at this knife. It’s so incredibly cheap, and this “tanto” profile is far from my favorite, and black coatings are bogus. But hey, I can’t find anything really wrong with the thing. At this price you can get 5 and give them to friends.

|Great Knife,
Great little knife, came razor sharp. The knife is very consealing and you would never even know if you were wearing it. Great for handy work or protection. Over all great buy.

|Nice knife,
This knife is good. The blade is sharp, and using it to cut the packaging on the rest of my new toys, I found that it performed rather well. It is really light, as I expected, and seems to be strong enough for most utility use, maybe even self-defense if you are close enough to the other person. The only real problem I have with this is that on the grip for the index finger, the metal wasn’t sheared off smooth, leaving a few uncomfortably pokey points, but a little time with a file with more than care for that. Came with a few small pits in the blade, but nothing that would effect performance, just visual flaws. It’s a good knife all around, and for so cheap, I really do reccomend it.
