It arrived nice and sharp and I put it to the test the same day. Chopped through pallet wood easily as it did 2 inch branches. The blade nearest the handle was sharp enough to shave wood to make a fire. It sliced cardboard and old paneling easy enough that there was no struggle to get the blade down and through. The handle held up to pounding in a few makeshift tent stakes, and then was battoned to make kindling out of 4 inch branches. It held up for every test and still only needed touching up to sharpen it. A good working blade. It will go camping with me on my next outing. I might write again to let you know if I use it to clean game or do food prep. Seems like a most excellent addition to my outdoor adventures kit, might even replace my hatchet.

This knife is awesome! Its a half inch thick and with a little love it will take a razor edge. Buy this knife!

This is a beefy blade. M48 is doing it right. I picked mine up from academy for about $30. I think they were having a sale. I have been drooling for this for a bit and it did not disappoint. Sliced paper sharp.

Overall, i have to say this is a great knife. I tried chopping one tree branch maybe a half inch thick and the tang broke. Dissatisfied because this is really a good, unique knife.

Very nice. Well made. Sharp point, sharp blade. Good balance . A mans knight.

Bought this for my husband as an anniversary gift, first thing he did was crack a coconut open in 2 hits, another beautiful addition to his m48 collection

Great knife to add to any collection or for practical use. Heavy thick blade, sharp edge, well balanced, good solid construction. Sheath is hard plastic material but adequate for carry.

I can not remember the last time i spent 50.00 bucks and got a great product like the M48 SABOTAGE TANTO FIGHTER - it is a piece of art !! - well made - heavy duty - and just plain great to handle !! 5 star all the way !!! It would be a great deal at 2x the cost !!! Well done guys!!

I give this a 5 stars because no matter what I do to this knife it will never chip, roll, or bend on me. I can cut through coconuts with ease. This knife is sooooo thick! It is well over 1/4 of an inch thick. This is RIDICULOUS. It is good in the way that it won't break do to the thickness, but it makes it just a little too heavy for it to be a real fighter knife. I realize that this is more of a hacker but, this came almost completely dull. This is fine for me because sharpening is easy for me and I have the tools. But for some buying the knife your out of luck if you like to keep sharp knives like me. Overall a great knife. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

This has to be the thickest knife I ever bought. There's no way that someone could look at this thing and not be intimidated by it. I myself was a little surprised by the size of it. The blade wasn't razor sharp straight out of the box, but I took care of that easily. I know that something like this can do some serious damage, so I'll have to be as careful as possible. Well worth the money. This gets a 5/5!
