Best addition to my collection

"Came quickly in mail, it feels great in hand nice tang, evenly balanced knuckle duster is a great addition to it. Fits nice inside my coat or strapped to my belt. Came already sharp and ready to use out the box. Love buying my blades from budk! The M48 series is one of my favorites."

Well made

"Great quality knife."

Could use a v2

"Pretty good knife, definitely needs some redesigns in my opinion. Blade is too thick to be an effective cutting tool. Handle design would be better if it were more reversible, as it is somewhat uncomfortable to be held in a reverse grip, which is the most effective for the current blade design. Otherwise, well fitted and sturdy knife."

Excellent Knife

"My friend told me about this site as I’ve been looking for a good trench knife. I have to say, this is probably one of the most solid knives I own. It weighed in at 1. 14lbs and feels solid in your hands. The blade and handle are one piece of metal with the grips screwed on over it which I like too. The sheath feels sturdy as well and I wouldn’t worry about it getting wet when out in the woods. Great price for a great knife."

— Brian D. (5/5)

Heavy Knife

"This is a very heavy and sharp knife. Not so much that it’s unwieldy but just feels solid. It was able to pierce almost a 4 inch thick hard cover book. I would say it does what it’s designed for, stabbing through thick targets. I would not want to be on the receiving end!"

— Dan P. (5/5)

Bad Ass

"This Trench knife is a solid bad ass knife! The pics are as it arrives, sharp and ready to carry, display or otherwise admire! I’ve ordered several more different knives to accompany my M48 liberator and have started having them engraved for my grandsons to have forever!"

— Craig J. (5/5)
