This #NATAKU Survival Knife is nice and sharp. It's also very well-balanced. The blade itself is made of stainless steel and is 3.4 inches long. The blade is nice and sharp and I like how it has a built in clip on the backside of the base of the knife. My son loves this knife and likes how the blade easily folds into the handle. We both like how it comes complete with a small sharpening stone. It's the perfect size stone to take on a camping trip, fishing trip or hike. Overall a great tactical knife. At the price of $16.99 it's a nobrainer as to whether or not to purchase it. A must have for all knife collectors! Makes a great gift for any occasion!
