Off-Grid Knives SIDEKICK - Compact EDC Fixed Blade Knife, Scout and Vertical Carry, Sandvik 14C28N Steel, G10 Handle, Kydex Sheath, 360° Rotating Belt Clip, Camping, Fishing, Hunting, Boating (Coyote)

I was between this and the CIVIVI Elementum, and i'm glad I went with this. Feels nice and beefy in my large hands, it's sharp and I really like the sheath. Sheath has just the right retention to keep it locked in without being too much of a pain to pull out. It also secures nicely to my belt and rotates 360 degrees.

Great fixed blade with a really good sheath. Very sharp out of the box. Knife edge holds up very well. I carry and use this knife daily.

I am a female knife collector and own over 650 fixed and folding knives. When I saw Aaron from Gideonstactical on youtube review this small fixed blade I was immediately intigued. So often small budget fixed blades are too heavy, the handle is too short and/or narrow and the blade steel is mediocre. I was intigued enough with his review to purchase this knife. First the good -- the tan G10 handle on this knife is fantastic and fits like a glove in my medium sized female hand. The handle is thick with divets in the handle and is just a joy to hold. I also appreciate how the handle has a guard to protect your hand from slipping on this blade so you can easily bear down on the blade. This fixed blade is also full tang, made of Sandvik 14C28N, which is nice change beyond D2, which seems to be what most under $100 budget fixed blades are made of. There is also well designed grippy gimping on the handle and the blade that doesn't cut into my fingers unlike a lot of gimping that is sharp and biting when my fingers hit it. The knife cuts wood easily and is small and light enough to carry with ease on camping and hiking trips. Now the bad --- I don't like is the sheath. Besides being bulky and high up, with the clip sitting on top of a plastic extender, the sheath also does not make that satisfying click when trying to put the blade back into the sheath. I literally have to pound the top of the knife to get the blade to go into the sheath to lock the blade into the sheath. I loosened two screws on the sheath to reduce some of the tension on the sheath and its marginally better, but I still have to pound the top of blade handle quite hard to get it to lock into the sheath, which hurts my hand. Obviously a lot of attention was paid to the blade and less attention on the sheath, which I think is mediocre and the reason I am subtracting one star in my review. Revised: I pulled the knife in and out of the sheath about 50 times and the knife is now clicking into the sheath without me having to bash the hilt of the knife with my palm. I still don't like the sheath because of its bulk and how far the clip extends out from the sheath body, which makes the sheath look and feel awkward.

The included clip is trash. There are holes for custom hardware on one side of the sheath. I ended up tying it to my belt with a few feet of Paracord and carry appendix. The knife itself is great, I've cut quite a few branches, layers of duct tape at my job and packages. It holds an edge fairly well. Took me quite some time to get it sharpened to get the factory edge off. I used diamond and ceramic sharpening stones. The metal is very hard. Blade thickness is good and it feels durable. It took me a few days to find a comfortable way to wear it, but tucking in my belt appendix, I forget it's there til I need it. For anyone looking for a working knife fixed blade with a good sheath minus the clip, I recommend this.

Very impressed with the quality, weight and durability of this knife. Checkout this video to see how sharp it is out of the box! Excellent value for the the money spent. The size is perfect in hand.

Comes very sharp out of the box. As a fan of 14c28n I was really excited to get fix blade. The product did not let me down. The sheath is great, the ergos are very comfortable, and its just the perfect knife for me. Love it.

I came across this knife due to its recent popularity. It's extremely well built, and I love the design. It just makes sense. The handle is a 10/10 for comfort. I'm also a big fan of 14c28n steel, which is one of the main reasons I purchased the knife in the first place. The sheath is a taco style, which is nice. I'm not a huge fan of the swivel belt clip. It's a little bulky. Not a big deal. I'll add an Ulti-clip like some other users have mentioned. Although I haven't put the knife through any serious tests, I have no reason to believe it won't hold up. For the price, you'll be hard pressed to find a better value. Worth every penny! FYI, this is my first Off-Grid knife

Knife is good but the belt clip is total garbage. The clip has zero retention value and it is even a risk for you losing your knife. Expect to expect extra cash to buy you an aftermarket clip.
