Poor Man's Cuda Maxx
.
I picked this knife up the other day just on a chance it would
be a decent self defense pocket knife or "tactical carry" or
whatever you want to call it. Boker Great Knight.
I was very surprised as I got a lot for my $15. It's a solid knife,
nice G10 scales, locks tight, has an excellent profile on the handle
which is of good size, has good cross-guard design, opens easily
both flipper and by thumb (I put a little zip tie on there to make the
thumb purchase more positive). The handle is long enough to offer
a strike point with the butt.
The only thing I thought was mediocre was the edge. I redid the
edge with my EdgePro and it's awesome. Shaving sharp. This point
will penetrate.
This knife is legal in Texas, where I live. It's dagger shaped but has
a false edge on one side. The blade is 4.75 inches long. This is as
much knife as I would want to carry in my pocket.
I've got knives I've paid 20x what I've paid for this. But I'm as pleased
as punch with this Boker Great Knight. I carry my Kershaw Leek in
my left pocket for EDC and this mofo in my right pocket if I need a
fighting blade. Yeah, it's 440 stainless and not some exotic steel, but
I never use it so I'm not worried about the blade not being able to hold
an edge hacking through 6 hickory trees. Just one person with
a bad attitude that goes too far.

Here's someone's YT on it if you want to see it in somebody's hand --
