I've been adding to my tactical/survival knife collections recently due to all of the great high value buys available through Amazon. I selected this product based on an over all evaluation and the fact I prefer a multifaceted tool like this at about 10.5 inches maximum length. I actually do carry many of the knives I own finding them very useful. This HK-1036S fit the bill in all respects, meeting the description to a T, very comfortable to hold, solid, good weight distribution, full tang with a very comfortably cushioned hard rubber handle.Of course, like all online knife orders, it had to be sharpened to my standards upon arrival. This knife takes a good edge with very little effort if using the correct tools. The nylon sheath is rather substantial and almost 'heavy duty' in nature, yet at this price a very good value. I am very happy with this purchase and the performance of the seller through Amazon. I highly recommend this company and the product for multiple uses short of hacking your way through a jungle.
