MASTER USA – Knife

**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐**This Master USA knife isn't just *sharp*—it’s *sexy sharp*. From the moment I held it, I could tell it was built for action. The black stainless steel blade glistens with that perfect balance of hardness and corrosion resistance, making it an absolute *keeper* in the outdoors or... well, wherever you need a dependable edge. 😉I’ve used it for everything from camping to DIY projects and it’s *so* reliable. The razor-sharp fine edge effortlessly slices through anything I throw at it (which, *wink wink*, could be a lot more than just outdoor materials). The fixed blade and full tang construction make it feel solid in hand, and the nylon fiber sheath with lanyard makes it super easy to carry—whether you’re hiking or *carrying something more... personal*.This knife isn’t just for the wilderness; it’s got a sleek, tactical vibe perfect for anyone who wants something that looks *as tough as it is*—and trust me, it looks damn good. Whether you're slicing fruit, filet mignon, or showing off your survival skills in the bedroom... this knife will definitely get the job done. 🔪✨*Ready for a cut above the rest?*

A little small in the hand but feels like a solid knife

This is a very nice light weight fixed blade that hasngood sharpness. The blade has a nice paracord grip. The sheath feels durable and has a lanyard, or a clip which allows mento carry it in a variety of ways. The blade stays safely and snug when secured in the sheath and the overall design is effective.

Master USA printed on one side, China on the other. Good sheath retention. Def need to add your own handle. Not great for big hands. Sheath needed a lot of smoothing.

These Master knives are very simple, stainless steel, sharp, and priced right. I have 3 and like them.The handle is too thin though. To fix this I whipped 1/8 inch nylon line (rope) tight to the handle.Just whip over the existing line or rope.This makes the handle about 1/2 inch thick which has a much better feel.Google whipping line or rope if you are not familiar with it. It is very easy to do it.And just tuck the loose ends into the handle to hide them.The sheath works well and holds the knife well.The knife is slightly on the smaller side but exactly what is wanted.

So, I ordered this when it caught my eye, no particular reason. I got it figuring it would be pretty crappy quality, just because of the price, but I was pleasantly surprised. I removed the lanyard from the sheath, just because that's not my style. The sheath clip is somewhat flimsy, and the knife has some play when sheathed. It is worth noting that the sheath fits into the penny pocket in my jeans, though mine is quite large, so I can't guarantee it'd fit any of yours. That all being said, I bought this for the knife, not the sheath.The knife itself is a darker black than the photo would suggest, and the cord wrapping around the handle is a silver. I found I did have to sharpen it, which was a bit of a pain. With my smith's dfpk sharpener, the stones do not work as well on recurve blades. This knife is in fact a very slight recurve. If you use rods to sharpen it, or pocket pal type sharpeners, it should be easy. Even "normal" bench stones should be fine. The issue with smith's diamond stones is that the abrasive surface does not extend on and past the corner of the stones. When sharpening recurves, I always use the corner. I did manage to finally get it sharp with my system, though the finish along the edge is not the "mirror finish" that I am able to put on the rest of my knives.This knife is a lot of fun to just twirl around, and is solid enough for utility work. Could you defend yourself with it? Definitely. It has quickly become one of my EDC knives. I will say, that the grip took some getting used to. As at least one other reviewer noted, the grip seems most comfortable when you slot your middle finger through the hole, and grip it that way. I have gotten past that point, and now prefer to place my index finger through the loop. *WARNING* If you have large hands, like me, you may find that with your index finger through the loop, your pinky may be very close to the edge, or perhaps even on it.Overall, 5 stars for the knife, 3 and 1/2 for the sheath. Buy it, it's great for yourself or a gift for others.
