M48 Stinger Urban Dagger Black With Harness Sheath

I love this dagger. I don’t understand why so many people are complaining they can’t put an edge on it...maybe they don’t know how to use a stone? Yes, you won’t get it “razor” sharp, but I was able to put a nice edge on it! I love the comfortable way it sits in my hand! I recommend!

This spike is a piercing weapon, similar to a stiletto. It is not a throwing weapon. It is meant to go through thick material protecting vital areas.

When saw it for the time I had to buy it,and it didn't disappoint,you can carry it or strap the harness on for easy carry,I definitely would recamend it

great spike. the shoulder holster is alright. I ordered this knife with the united cutlery stealth tanto trench knife with the same style shoulder holster. so now double trouble. I do love BUDK.com i have been a loyal customer for more then 15 years. great company to deal with. anything M48 by united cutlery is great.

What impressed me immediately is that this knife is chunky. Really nice weight to it, and despite the handle being small it has a surprisingly comfortable grip, even in my big hands. What this thing is, is a modernized/updated version of the “sleeve daggers” issued to OSS agents during WW2. Its sole purpose is being a concealable thrusting/stabbing weapon. You won’t be able to put an edge on it, it is far too fat.

Really nice, just got it today. Feels good when in your hands. Can't wait to try it out. The case is well made and holds the knife nice and tight

This is a really well designed knife. It has a great feel. It is well balanced. The black coating looks great new but comes off easily. The shoulder harnis is really clunky. The sheath is not bad, a bit bulky under a shirt or jacket. I think it would be a struggle in and emergency! It probably works best on your belt.

The knife is great. It feels wel balanced. The only thing though is the minute you use it the bluing comes off the blade so order the stainless one. The problem here is the shoulder harness, not to be confused with the sheath it's great. The metal clip that holds it to your belt or pants is very poor quality. The first time I put it on to trial it, it got deformed and I had to squeeze it between my fingers to try and make it work properly. That's right I said my fingers, that's howsoft the metal used to make it is. Now I have to find another clip to replace that trashy one. I'm willing to do it because I like the knife that much. Otherwise I would have returned it with the piece of garbage M48 gun bag, which I'm reviewing next cause I'm so mad at its horrible quality

The knife and sheath are surprisingly stronger than I thought. The sheath seemed fine upside down. The harness system is weak and feels like I’m going to rip the webbing apart as I try to draw the knife. Maybe I have to get used to the harness, but feels pretty it feels pretty flimsy.

Not sure. The sheath is not strong-to carry upside down. But, I am happy with the feel.

This is just a fun little throwing knife. the edge is not sharp and had a really wide angle like a axe. the dagger is very tough and durable but the blade is very hard to sharpen with such a wide angle.This thing is a stabber not a cutter.I couln'nt even get it to cut my hand and I tried. Also its much smaller in person than you'd expect. Basically if you want a neat tough throwing knife get it if you want it as a self defence dagger which it is supposed to be then don't bother.

I loved everything about this knife up until I started throwing it. Granted this was my first thrower. The rubber handle will come loose. Glue and tape didn't hold. The handle got all mangled throwing it at a tree the first time using it. Ok, now the plus side. Easily concealed under the lightest fabric. Smooth pull from the case and it's ready to go, just make sure you don't stick yourself in the neck putting it back. Would I buy it again? No.

This knife is VERY strong, but that's where it stops. The grind angle is 30 - 40 deg, this is supposed to be a knife, not a skinny hatchet. You cannot put a proper fighting sharp edge on it. I have no idea how someone would consider it, balanced, it is not. If ever used for it's intended purpose, the user would find out how unbalanced and ill fitting the grip is. The holster is useless, unless you're 7'2. It extremely thick...why ? You could probably it drive through steel drums all day, but so what ? It is SUPPOSED to be a stealth fighting knife, not a machinist tool. To get it out of the sheath quickly takes two hands, very clumsy, and it would be hard to get out in the heat of the moment.
