Very good blade. Overall great knife.
Great knife, the material is pretty durable.
Especially the blade, it has a very solid feeling and just stays sharp. Altough mine took a hell of a beating, it's still almost as sharp as when new.
Overall it's a very good price-value knife.
I would certainly recommend this knife to people who like a sharp, high quality blade for a low price.

Wow
I was very surprised at the sharpness and strength, especially for the material, the only down side is my dad won't let me have it until I'm 18.

Not very durable
I keep reading reviews about how durable this knife is, but it really isn't. The blade is a pain to maintain, knicks easily, and must be kept oiled or the edges will rust. It's a good ankle knife, but don't expect it to be a buy and forget knife. I have to sharpen or hone mine almost every day to keep it in good condition.

Exceptional Knife!
This knife has to be among the best knives I have ever owned, used, and abused. I am a soldier in the U.S. Army currently posting this review from service in Iraq. I set out on a search to find a very portable but effective knife for everyday use, off-the-wall use, and everything in between. I have had the knife for a little over two months now and it definitely fits the bill.
When I pulled it out of its neat packaging tucked away beneath plastic bubbles the first thing I noticed was its weight. I was set back by the weight for its size, but soon came to find it a very comfortable weight. Although it isn't heavy by any means, it certainly isn't the lightest blade you'll ever find. The sheath is very light and sturdy, the straps are dual Velcro that adhere to any other part and don't let go. I have had it strapped by the inside of my arm, strapped to my ankle, and strapped to my back on my belt, the sheath is very comfortable wherever it goes; though I would not suggest sitting down in a chair for an extended period of time with it on the back of your belt.
The knife is constructed entirely of high grade 1050 carbon steel. My father was a metal fabricator, from what he has taught me, this is definitely made of an exceptional metal. It is very easy to sharpen and it holds its edge well. I have been able to shave with this knife after a short session with a whetstone. I have taken this knife to fabric, to wood, to cables, even thrown into a tile floor (which it stuck into without a problem, the problem was pulling it back out), NOTHING has done any extensive damage to the edge of this knife. Bear in mind though, abuse their product like I have countless times, and you are bound to void CRKT's warranty; just take comfort knowing you'll never need that warranty!
The handle is just the right length and width for my hands to keep a very firm grip on it even with tough use. The coating over the knife has a nice smooth feeling to it; but allows excellent grip when the time comes. I have noticed some scratches in the coating from having used the knife on dense materials; but that can be expected with any fashion of abuse. The grooves and indents over the handle make it very ergonomic and easy to control, and if it strikes your fancy you can even tie it to something with the hole at the pommel and the edges of the finger guard.
Overall, this is an outstanding knife. You simply will NOT find a better knife, especially at this price! The next best thing is easily over $150!! This blade gets my vote in terms of portability, durability, and it looks pretty too.

Another well-made CRKC Blade
This blade is yet another brilliant example of why CRKC is a trusted manufactuer of high-quality knives. While originally sold as a survival knife, many purchase it for its boot-strap component, coming complete with two adjustable Velcro straps and a sheath that is designed specifically for this blade. It has a nice release from the sheath along with a smooth, reusable form.
In terms of the blade itself, it is a high grade carbon steel that is virtually indestructible; at least that's what Columbia River claims, and I have yet to find them to be inaccurate. Trust me, i've used this blade for many activities that I wouldn't trust another blade to do, and it still retains the point, the edge, and the form. Truly a strong utility knife or a trusty survival knife in those unsure situations.
It's small and compact as well, which is nice for concealment as a boot-strap and also reduces it from being annoying upon wear. The straps are not the strongest or designed with the customer in mind as well as they could have, which, if you apply them wrong, will cause indentations in the leg upon use, but that's kind of a "user-beware" scenario vs. bad quality.
All in all, this knife is perfect for being an all-around knife, great for camping, survival courses, or as a secondary blade for combat situations. Highly recommended and worth twice what you'll pay for it.

Fantastic Little Piece of Metal
This has been one of the best knives I have ever owned. Being one solid piece of metal (my favorite part) makes it sturdy enough for tough work both around the house and out in the woods, and it's small enough to travel with me on my belt or as a bootstrap knife when I'm out riding. As a previous reviewer stated, you have to watch out for rust, but that basically comes down to keeping the blade clean and keeping the sheath as clear of moisture and debris as humanly possible. Beyond that, I'd say this has been $35 WELL-spent.

SOLID!!!
I have a few CRKT's but this one by far is my favorite. It is one solid piece of steel. This gives it unparalleled strength and durability. The coating is thick and will most likely never wear off. The sheath and leg straps allow it to be worn around your leg, arm, or on your belt. A must buy!
