A Boot Knife that is LEGAL!! (I ordered a second one.),
HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE: There are plenty of great boot knife products on the market, if you want to carry what is legally considered to be a “double-edged dagger”, and is therefore ILLEGAL to carry in many states and jurisdictions. This SWHRT1 HRT Tactical is single-edged, not too long, extremely well made, feels good in the hand, has thumb gimping on the spine, has a full tang, and has a deep finger choil to protect you from hand slippage when performing either a thrust or slash cut. The blade is thick, and the scales feel better in the hand than some knives that cost five times as much. (Yes, I have a collection.) SHEATH CHALLENGE: I understand why some reviewers describe problems with the sheath being too tight. However, this can be remedied. Specifically, the first time you extract the knife, do NOT try to pull and pull to remove the knife. (It is dangerous…DUH!). Instead, carefully spread open the plastic sheath where the semicircular molding grips the finger choil, just next to the blade edge. Spreading the sheath at this point will enable the knife to slide out with a firm pull. Using a fine-grained metal file or fingernail file will allow you to carefully reduce the semicircular molding that grips the finger choil.

|I don’t know about the other 2 reviews,
The other two complaining about how “hard” it is to remove must be pansies, Yes, the sheath has a good hold on the knife, but that is how it is supposed to be! Would you rather have a knife that falls out easily? I use it as a utility blade when I go hiking, and have it hooked to my backpack (hanging upside down, grip down that is) and I can rip it out very easily, you cant “gingerly” take it out, you gotta rip it out! I give it 4 stars for the fact that I haven’t found a way to use this as a “boot” knife. But it is thick steel, very well made and is a great camping, hiking, emergency tool. Just don’t be a pansy when taking it out of the sheath, and you will love it too!
