This is a very popular knife from Cold Steel, and once you hold it in your hand, it's very easy to see why. There are dozens of reviews on the internet which praise this knife, so I won't write an essay on it, but I will give you my two cents.
Comes razor flippin' sharp. Ergonomics are great, despite appearances, and the kraton handle is AWESOME. One of the lightest fixed blades I own. Very light and fast.
The sheath is amazing. Fits the knife perfectly. This knife isn't going anywhere unless you want it to. I love the clip, I love the eyelets, I don't love that it doesn't have a drain hole like the other secure-ex sheaths from Cold Steel, but this is a boot knife, so that's okay.
The guard is very small but is enough, again considering that this is a boot knife. The tanto blade style is an excellent choice for what kind of knife this is (I hate fragile tips), and the steel is perfect for the application.
I will go out on a limb and say that this is probably the best boot knife in the world.

WOW ! Now that I have your attention, understand I'm 50(ish), always been a "knife person", & owned(or own),everything from the smaller folding knives to to swords. They've been interesting, and usually cause me to respond, "Yeah, I'd carry this for(insert purpose here)". The KOBUN is the 1st blade to make me say, "Where WOULDN'T I carry this"? So far? NOWHERE. Ergonomics, aesthetics, mechanics, of both blade and sheath,. . . 5 out of 5 stars PLUS !
