Reviews & Ratings for Browning OPMOD Black Label Stone Cold Knife w/ 5.25in Tanto Blade — 8 reviews — Page 1

The blade itself appears to be of good quality and the overall size of the knife is nice.
I have several of the other Browning OPMOD knifes and was really excited about this one.
Here's where I was disappointed:
1) Sheath is really sloppy and loose. If it wasn't for the secondary retention strap the knife would easily fall out of the sheath. Unlike other Browning OPMOD knifes, this knife does not passively "lock" into into the sheath with a "snap" and the knife actually "rattles" when inside the sheath.
2) I wouldn't want to use this knife for any period of more than a minute or two....and certainly not if the paracord was removed. While the spacing and fit of the finger notches are comfortable, the narrowness of the steel in combination with a narrow grip makes the steel surfaces of the grip feel sharp in my palm.
I will be returning this knife and look for something with a more comfortable grip & better sheath retention.

Bought this knife for hunting have found it very good due to the shape of the blade is great for getting through and under the hyde.handle isn't the most comfortable but looks cool.but the excellent blade makes up for that.keeps sharp well.

Nice! Perfect knife to put in your bug out bag. I would have given it five stars if it came without a serrated blade. The belt clip is very sturdy and can be taken off and on without having to take off your belt. It is very light but solid. I am impressed with the quality of the construction.

Knife will be awesome in any kind of survival issue or basic camping, hiking or self protection. The sheath seems to be a sturdy plastic and hold knife really well. The cord handle is easy to remove. The price was a bonus also. Thanks

I purchased this knife as gift for a friend to store in her bug-out bag. She is quite pleased with the knife and likes the paracord grip as it adds utility while serving as a non slip grip. The included sheath appears to be well designed and durable and securely holds the knife with an audible and tactile click when sheathed.

Some browning knives are excellent made in USA and expensive... This one is decent made in China and inexpensive... A value.
If you are looking for a good knife to keep in bug out bag or emergency use this would be a good choice. Every day hard use maybe not... Skeletonized frame holds paracord but not the most durable or comfortable.

I'm a hiker and backpacker so keeping my equipment light and simple is important. The tanto blade is suited to nearly any cutting task, plenty of paracord if needed for lashing or other emergency and a great sheath design.
Pros: Lightweight and functional
Cons: none
