MACV-SOG Vietnam Military Knife & Sheath

My husband gave this to me as an "I LOVE YOU PRESENT". I use it daily, as I am planting gardens in a new house. It is large & long enough for working the soil and light enough for my arthric hands. It's just perfect. Love it..

I love it. It's my first knife from this site. And I'm impressed. I wanted a good looking military knife but in a old way and boy I got it and boy is it sharp! Love the site of it the feel of it alround good knife. I'll buy from here agin im making a wish list

This knife is sturdy, well proportioned, fits and feels good in the hand. Not rAZOR SHARP OUT OF THE BOX, BUT EASILY SHARPENED AND HOLDS AN EDGE.

I decided to write a review about this knife after owning it for a few months with no problems. When it arrived in the mail mail the edge wasn't razor sharp but fairly sharpened. The leather pieces were also light in color but with constant use the oils in my hand dyed it a rich dark brown. Since I've bought this knife I've use it for everything from butchering and skinning, small hammering, whittling, and as an eating utensil. But despite all the praise the thing that sticks in my craw is the pleather sheath. So because of that I'd like to be precise and rate this product with a 4.5.

Very well built knife worth double the money.

Super Awesome Knife

as a Vietnam Vet, having known several REAL LRRP'S Individual, so I saw the Original LRPS Knives. this knife is so damn close to the Original, its scary!!! I bought two of them,when I received them, I put up my Blackjack fixed blade that cost ten times the price, also retired my puma trail hunter, same thing. THIS is the knife that is always on my belt, ALWAYS! I give it Five Stars because I can't give it TEN.

I can't believe what we put this knife through! I bought two of these knives, one for my very good friend, and we put it through every test we could. This knife can go through wood, metal siding, rubber, and just through a steel oil drum. I put a sizable dent in a solid oak tree with the butt of the knife, but the impact knocked the brass piece at the top of the hilt loose, but that can be easily fixed with super-glue. The sharpening stone works, but only in a certain way. If you are just going for looks, then the hilt is a light brown instead of dark brown, but other than that, it is a flawless knife. We definitely plan on getting more.

The knife is better looking in the pic than in the hand. Not ugly but there's machining on the brass and the handle isn't as dark.The leather sheath is mid level - thick but feels cheap. The knife comes pretty sharp but a touch up brought it razor sharp quickly. It's a solid knife and a perfect work horse but not a show piece. but for the price you can't complain.

I bought this knife a few weeks ago and so far i'm happy with it. It cuts well and is a very sturdy knife, not your usual flimsy stuff you would get at this price. The handle of the knife actually tapers a bit from the guard to the pommel which is not shown in the picture, this is not at all an issue unless you are worried about the appearance of knife. This blade gets four stars from me because the sheath is nothing but junk, if you buy this knife be prepared to make a new sheath for it. Overall a good knife and a great one for the price!

Great knife for the price.wish I could have bought an other soild heavey blade makes for easy cuting.

This knife was given to me for X-ms 2012 I was very excited when I received this knife and for good reason this is a great camping knife it is not to big or to small the handle is one of the best features to the knife its sharpener was good and the sheath over all was good the only flaw was the outer part of the knife clasp that came off. That was the only disappoinement, over all this is as good as it gets for $13.

so far i like this knife it wasnt sharp enough out the box for my tastes but it was a quick fix now i can shave with it lol anyway i have field tested it yet up till today iv been faithful to my green beret field knife but i put it to rest for a bit so i can see how bright this macv/sog can shine. ps this knife has a real good weight to it so if ur lookin for a light knife this aint it if ur lookin for something to take in the woods with u id definitely look at this beauty. ill update after my next long trip out on the land.

My two Vietnam Fighter knives arrived today. They were well-packaged with no shipping damage. QC on the knives is mediocre as one of the knives has a slightly loose guard and the guy or gal drilling the lanyard hole put two holes in one side of the hilt, merging into one hole at the other side! Should not effect functionality though and I do not plan to send it back. The knives were fairly sharp out of the box but I sharpened them some more to slightly less than shaving sharp, fairly easily on my WorkSharp. The blade thickness is about 0.2" which I find about right for a survival knife. The "pleather" sheaths are functional and would not be bad for casual use or storage; however I am making harness leather bi-directional survival sheaths for the knives that may out-last the knife. I do plan to use the knives in the field and like someone previously posted, will not feel too bad if they get scratched up or if I lose one. I think they would work fine for gutting and skinning a deer.

OK ... let's be clear on this knife. It was an impulse buy for me because of the price, period. But ... I'm giving it fours stars and I like it very much. Here's why: Even though the blade is an inexpensive Chinese piece of steel, it is set in a darn nice looking and substantial handle. I love stacked leather. (My first boy scout knife had a layered leather handle as this one does.) Every day, I look at my knives and ask myself "Which one(s) do I need for today's jobs?" Then, I strap on the gear I need. This knife is a simple workhorse, inexpensive and ready for work. I don't care about the speculation of whether Vietnam boots on the ground might have used something sort of like this ... meh, I just like the knife for the meager investment, and so will you.

Got this as a gift and all I can say is freak in sweet. Heaver than I thought and sharp as h**l. All around a great knife .

This knife has a wonderful sheath,the sheath is sturdy, and hard leather and it even came with a sharpening stone! The knife was nice and sturdy but the only worry I have is the top brass handle just under the blade is kind of wiggly and I haven't even used it yet, and I don't think I want to risk it... so I might just use a little superglue and hope it will go away other than that it is a great knife, BUY IT.

Great knife! I just got it a few days ago, and love it! It has a good weight, and the sheath is pretty good too. The top part of the sheath broke off though...Other than that great knife well worth it! Everyone should get one.

Love the knife..... But the sheath came cracked and all messed up. The knife was sharp and i feel well made. The sheath was made out of that plastic leather, it was cold out, below 0, and i think that's why it was messed up. Once I find a good leather or nylon sheath i'll be very happy with it.

This knife was a gift and I've used it during several camping and outdoor jaunts. I was surprised at the general quality of the blade and handle. I dislike finger grips but these felt well placed and did not irritate my hand. The sheath is adequate for the type of outdoor activities I do. It stripped bark easily for the making of cordage and took up several soaproot plants for bathing and the taking of fish. It sharpens easily but not with the attached stone. Get a decent one. Around camp it cut the toughest meat and the butt worked as a decent tenderizer. While not a great knife, it is a GOOD knife and worth twice the price. I will be getting another for Xmas or so I'm told.

I have to agree with Russ, the knife looks a little better in the picture, the handle is a lot lighter color. The blade is very sturdy feeling, I'm glad I ordered 2. The sheath is not leather its pleather, definitely the weak link in this deal, but not a deal breaker @ 9.95. If you are looking for a knife to take camping and don't care if it gets dinged up, this is the ticket. If you want a show piece....why are you looking @ 10 dollar knives??

The blade needed a bit of work, and the hand guard needed a bit of final polishing/shaping to remove tooling marks The tip of the blade was blunt! Expect to spend a bit of time sharpening. The sheath is not leather and was falling apart right out of the box. Still a good value for the money. This would make an excellent general purpose camp knife. The blade is not too hard, and would be easy to sharpen in the field. The only real drawback is that you will need a new sheath!
