Cold Steel FGX Ring Dagger, 3 1/2", Black

More solid than I expected, lightweight and good grip. Wish there was a holster for it, but it’s a great value for what it is.

knife is sturdy and the edges are sharper than I thought they would be, I wouldn't want to be slashed with it. Bigger than I thought it would be about 9 1/4 inches overall. that isn't a deal breaker for me but it changes how I carry it. PS this knife is fully non metallic if that's what you want, just cut off the key-chain ring attached to the handle loop.

Best rust proof non metal plastic poker u can buy. 3D cast, unlike many of the single sided flat cast junk. TAKE IT IN THE SHOWER TO THE POOL & IN THE RAIN WHEN CAMPING HIKING OR "TRAVELING",😉 no rust or metal to trigger machines off. Super duper light weight and speedy to deploy when it kicks off in the yard.It’s better than a sharpened toothbrush shank in GP.

You would think after more than 7 decades of continuous passion for anything to do with the martial arts, weapon arts and related areas, (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Boxing, MMA, guns, rifles, swords, knives, sticks and numerous other weapons), that I had enough weapons in my collection; however, I just can’t seem to resist purchasing more. This is why when I saw this product (Cold Steel black FGX Ring Dagger, 31/2 inch) on Amazon I decided to purchase it.In the past I have purchased numerous products from Cold Steel because they make quality self-defense and weapon products. Yes, it is made of hard plastic, but it can be a handy little self-defense tool when you do not have another type of weapon like a, (gun, combat knife, baton, a cane, a Hanbo, Cold Steel Delta dart, tactical metal pen, a sharp metal key chain holder, or other type of Combative tool). Besides, I just like collecting all kinds of self-defense tools and did not have this particular one in my collection.If you are also a weapon collector and desire a light weight hard plastic key ring type of knife you may want to check out this product.Rating: 4 Stars.

As the days get shorter and the infamous time change occurs, we runners often find ourselves running in the dark. As a trail runner, nighttime runs can be fairly interesting. A good light is supremely important, but being back in the woods by myself, a decent weapon certainly makes me feel better. The weight of a regular knife is often an issue, with even a fairly light clip knife often turning into an aggravation and tugging down my waistband. This knife is an elegant solution. It is feather light, and being made of grivory, is rust-proof. I tuck it up under a sweatband on my wrist, so it rides on my forearm and is easily accessible. Admittedly, this is a last-ditch sort of implement, but it feels robust enough do a lot of damage, and is a vast improvement over a stick or a rock. It's my night running security blanket.

Do NOT buy any knife with a nonmetallic blade for anything except one-time use in an emergency. This knife will both stab and cut quite effectively if it is fresh and hasn't been dulled by trying to cut or pierce things beforehand. The point and edge would both deteriorate rapidly with use, meaning hopefully your fight against an assailant will be over with in just a couple of minutes because beyond that you're going to be jabbing at them with a blunt piece of plastic. It should be more than enough for a single violent encounter if you reserve it only for that purpose. If you want to test it by cutting and jabbing various things, I'd buy two. Test with one and discard it once it is dulled. Keep the other pristine in case you need it.

This is a very fun toy to play with. Sure you can convince yourself you're a CQC expert and could use this in self-defense, but, get real, that ain't happening and if it did they would probably have a gun. This is a toy to be played with, and it excels at what it is - pointy, sharp, and fun. You could seriously damage something with this thing, but, realistically, there's no sensible circumstances where you have this and that's your best option. It has a very robust feel and a nice texture and I'm glad this exists bc it's fun to play with.

Could have use better plasticBut for price I’m not complaining.
