"Love the style."
"Beautiful knife. Lighter than I expected, but with a good heft. Nicely balanced. Wicked point. Punched a hole in a couple of boxes with very little effort. Blade is sharp, but not dangerously so. My only quibble is with the sheath, which is stiff and hard enough to be a bludgeoning weapon all on its own. Overall, very impressive knife."
"For all it's size, the knife is incredibly light, it takes and holds an edge better than any other knife in stainless i've run into, so I can''t help but wonder it it's really stainless. The shealth was the disappointment, i bought it as a bargain knife and the sheath was make of poor, thin material and was already split in the back.The knife looked scuffed, but it turns out there was just some kind of lubricant stuck to the blade and after cleaning it up, the blade was flawless. If ypu had a big skinning job to do, this might come in handy, as sharp as it is. One star off for the bad sheath. I hope better sheaths will become available as replacements. As inexpensive as the knife was, I wouldn't mind paying for a replacement sheath."
"Arrived on time, expressed with knife, full tang, fitted very well, not a bad sheath after working it and nice know, balanced, very soft steel, doesn't hold edge very long, arrived with marks on hilt and blade but polished them out, overall pretty well made Pakistan made knife. Just soft steel."
"I bought one of these 20 plus years ago at a med fair, gave it to a chick a few years later. This is the exact same knife. Awesome, beautiful, battle worthy, the handle is solid. The sheath is eh. I love this knife. It's balanced dude, for twenty bucks. Not all Pakistan blades are garbage. Somebody got it right and just kept churning them out."
"I am happy to add this knife to my collection. The quality of this knife exceeds the cost by quite a bit. The blade was without a blemish and nicely polished. The hilt was well fitted and showed only minor tool marks. I didn't like the lanyard loop and considered grinding it off all together but changed my mind after a search of the internet revealed that this was a standard feature of the Khyber Knife. Instead, I reshaped it to be less conspicuous but still functional. The functionality of the knife is not an issue as it will only be on display."
"An excellent large knife, well made and sharp."
"Fairly sharp out of the box. Feels good in hand."
"I just received this knife and it seems solid and sharp. Worth every penny. The handle scales were cut flat on the butt of handle which was poor craftsmanship But,... overall the rest of the Knife is Quite Good."
