RealBill's Review of Boker USA Applegate Knife
I agree with all reviewer 'Scott' has to say:
Yes, the sheath is just OK: not terrible, but not great. I'll probably get a better (kydex) one made for it at some point if I ever start carrying it.
And yes, better steel would be... better still.
That being said, it's still the best version I've encountered of the classic A-F combat dagger.
Commpared to the older Blackjack version, it's lighter, and livelier in hand. The micarta handle allows (for me) for a better grip in all positions. It's full-tang, and the glass-breaker is well-executed, sticks out just enough but not too much. Grind lines on the blade are perfect. Blade is shaving-sharp with a needle point.
The biggest drawback-- true for any double-edged blade-- is that it's illegal to carry in a lot of places.
