Kriegar Helden Rand Kat Knife - Carbon Steel Lockback Pocket Knife - Historical German Military Reproduction - Lightweight Steel Handle, Slim Profile, Lanyard Loop - WWI WWII Army - 4 1/4" Closed

Despite the origin of manufacture I have found this knife to be very useful. The knife is thin and easy to carry. Also, it stays sharp. I had assumed that the brand name Kriegar meant it was german made - - it wasn't. This knife is manufactured in China (stamped on the blade of the recent edition). Previous editions did not show the origin of manufacture (I own several of the old editions).

Really like the knife as it is almost exactly like one I bought in 1960 and carried for years. The only negative is that the pins are not nearly as smooth as they should be.

This is a flat handle super sharp knife. It is a lockback. It is of a high quality. I really like this knife alot. I may get another it is so good. This is a smooth slim pocket knife. The pins are very slightly raised and smooth. They give a better grip. The blade is awesome.

I have had one of these since I was 18 ,bought my first in a knife shop in Calis . Broke the point chipping ice out ice fishing. That's The only time it has failed me and I can't fault them for that ,cold and high carbon don't work together well. I have given these to my sons and grandkids. I have 3 on hand because I don't know how long they will be around.

This knife lives up to the write-up. It is sharp, light weight, and thin (which makes it easy to carry). ' Definitely a great multi-purpose knife.

Lockback is solid - No blade play and detent is good; maintained by pressing the lock in folded position. Blade is SUPER sharp due to high carbon steel. Tip is shaped to a VERY sharp point. Review on Youtube said this is 0.24" thick, which is one of the main reason I bought this knife. It's about 3 & 1/2 quarters thick but feels like 3 due to routing of handle edges. Swivel post has a lot of resistence, desired. Extremely lightweight at ~86 grams. I can see this knife servicing me for years or even decades to come. Some even say it's better than the original?!

Great knife for the price.

Nice and tight, feels good in the hand and very slim, sharpened up enough to shave, probably going to buy another

Simply a very good single-blade pocket knife with an extremely low profile. A good grade steel, comes sharp out of the box, and can slide into the back pocket of skinny jeans. Drops into almost any pocket, purse, or bag. Nice at the price.

This is the third order I have placed for this knife. I previously ordered 4 knives and gave them to friends and neighbors. Now I have ordered 4 more before they are no longer available at this price. Got to remember to keep one for myself. This is a super knife; and everyone is very happy to receive the gift.

I'm a collector of all types of blades. I've given Mercators to friends and family and always have one with me. When I saw this Kriegar I thought it a good idea to try one out. Instead, I ordered two. Wow!!! For one fifth the cost of a Mercator it is every bit on a par with the big guy. I might have to order several more for gifts.

Well made solid folder. Unique lock-back design provides a confident lock and easy release mechanism. Razor sharp, light weight and glad there is no belt clip. I ordered three(3) more at the sale price. $9.98. This has become my every day carry.

I have been collecting knives for a long time--and this is the sharpest, one of the best made and easy carry knives I have come across. I have ordered another one.

I had a Mercator for years and when I saw this other brand Kriegar I didn't know if it would be as good but bought one .It is even better quality so I'm buying 2 more, one for a gift for my son and an extra for me. One of these knives has been with me for the last 30 years, it takes little room and holds a great edge.

Received this knife in site box razor sharp right out of the box does not weigh down your pocket

Just got this knife today in SHTF box. I am an Eagle scout(years ago) and this knife is one of the best that I have seen. I am also a Navy veteran and I wish I had this while scouting or in the nav. Outstanding little knife i will be buying more.

Overall, a very good replica of the famous German Army Kat knife - the only negative is that the pins protrude too high on the handle. They should be smoothed down - impossible to do post manufacture without scratching the handle, which would be even worse.
