Very nice blade! - Cold Steel Drop Forged Boot Knife

This blade has exceeded my expectations in durability, balance, and edge retention. I have had no issues with the blade falling out of the sheath when running or climbing. The only complaint some might have is with the sheath clip. The clip is a little on the smaller side, most likely to keep the profile as flat as possible. So, if you plan on using this as a boot knife, and your boots are really thick at the top, the clip may not get a good bite. Personally, I don’t have a problem with the clip because I tie all of my equipment down regardless. The sheath has cutouts around the side edges that make it very easy to tiedown and secure, even without the clip. Overall, I am very happy with how well this blade performs, especially for the price.
