Trench Raider Fixed Blade Knife With Sheath - Stainless Steel Blade, Pakkawood Handle Scales, Knucklebuster Handle - Length 13”

First of all it was delivered in a nice black well made cardboard box, it just made opening it up feel and look nice The "Trench Raider " (love the name) is just great, tough looking, thick blade, solid, fits my hand/fingers or anyone's hand really due to the "decent opening finger size. The Knuckle-Buster feature is one of the main reasons I bought it, I have personally been attacked and have had a weapon taken out of my hand, never again! The sheath is very substantial and riveted to my delight. The "pakkawood wood" handle is ideal, look it up it, is a wood and resin lamination that is virtually waterproof and a perfect medium for weapon handles and looks fantastic! The three black recessed screws that attach the grip/handle look total bad- azz and are way nicer than some kind of "rivets", the handle would never come loose under any condition! Very worth $16.98 and I would highly recommend it. For me personally it is about 1 1/2 inches longer than I think it needs to be but that's just me and a minor thing. Buy it, you will not be sorry.

I chose this budK offering as my "Christmas Knife" for 2019 and ordered a trio of them to give as gifts. My shipment arrived on time and was unboxed and inspected on the kitchen table. The trench raider was opened first due to my curiosity, and I was pleased with what I found. The metal was a nice full tang arrangement with the knuckle guard you would expect from a trench style knife. The knuckle guard is big enough to grip in both directions to allow for different fighting styles. One of my friends who got this as a gift texted me "its perfect" so we jokingly re named it the "Ash Fork Toothpick" after our dusty hometown in Arizona. To me that says it all. For the sake of an objective and credible review we must mention the cons. The blade is sharp and powder coated standard black with a pleasing micarta type handle. Snazzy, one might say. It is of the same quality steel you see in many different full tang designs at this price, but its lightweight for its size. What the metal lacks in quality is countered by the thickness of the blade and tang overall, which I found satisfactory if not remarkable. Its Big but not too big. I like nylon sheaths myself, so I was happy with the one it came with. This is a solid 5 star blade-piece all the way. The uses are limited only by your imagination. Could be fashioned into a spear with paracord if you have some laying around. If you dont then shame on you. All things considered, thats a lot of fun for 15 bucks! Thank you budK.
