Review of: Railroad Spike Dagger
Let's start with the shipping department. They did a great job in securely packaging this knife and got it it off in record time.
As it comes from the manufacturer, the knife is inside a very heavy plastic bag. It is completely covered in oil and there was not a speck of rust on the knife anywhere. On the exterior of the wrapping at the blade point is a triangle of soft plastic that's about an inch long and slides over the tip of the blade. Have paper towels near you when you unbag the knife - it's oily! After cleaning the knife thoroughly I was really impressed with how it felt in my hand. It was as if this knife were custom-made for me. It fits my hand and balances perfectly. I wanted to see what kind of rough use it could take and took a can of soup and positioned the tip along the rim and gave it a good solid whack with the heel of my hand on the flat hilt. It easily punctured the soup can and when I walked it along the lid it cut quite easily.
I next sliced a small, recently fallen tree limb into thin strips of tinder. The edge I was using on this double edged knife is holding up just fine. I'm going to slice up a bunch of cardboard boxes today before I burn them and then hone the blade.
The sheath belies the $20 price point for this knife. It's well-made and securely holds the blade while still allowing you to get all four fingers on the hilt. There's a bit of space between the tip of the knife and the bottom of the sheath and the edges do not come in contact with the sides of the sheath. This alone will add to the longevity of the sheath. The loop on the sheath will easily handle a 2 and 3/4 inch belt. The sheath is double-stitched but I can't tell by feeling what material the stitching is. I may put a few rivets in just to be on the safe side. The sheath is a nice looking brown leather but I wish it were black leather.
Overall I'm thoroughly impressed with this knife and sheath. I'm going to have to buy a few more of this company's products.

Review of: Damascus Turquoise Skinner
I ordered 2, one as a gift and one for me. I bought the damascus bone microskinner 6 months ago and was very pleased. The turquoise looked similar so went for it. Absolutely beautiful. Great feel, was sharp but I easily made it sharper. Great deal for a beautiful knife. My new collection has begun

Review of: Long Double Edge Dagger Blade
Nice blade to work with. It comes unsharpened but that’s fine because it’s easier to work with and sharpen later.

Review of: Night Watchman Tactical Mace
The Night Watchman Tactical Mace is a formidable hunk of polypropylene. At about 1.5 pounds, the weight feels perfect. The knob on the base of the handle is perfect. Just like a knob on a baseball bat, the knob will really help keep the mace in your hand. I’m very impressed.
