Review: The best - First, a word to the wise. Do not throw this at metal. I had set my throwing knife target against a metal rod for support and on my first throw I missed the target and stuck it right into the rod. I was and am very impressed with the fact that it was sharp enough to stick in a steel rod like that but I'm just a tad disappointed that my brand new knife now has a slightly dented tip. When I pulled it out of the rod the tip had bent at an angle but I straightened it out with a vice grip. You can still plainly see the damage but the functionality of the knife is still fine. That said, I am certain that I am the one of the most hard to please knife owners out there. I have wasted my money on countless knives for years. I am in constant search for the perfect knife. It has to be throwable, big, durable, tactical, and preferably legal. I've tried different types of steel and different brands and none have lived up to my expectations. Then I opened the box that this one came in. I am convinced that this is the perfect knife. It's huge, easily thrown, very durable, tactical, and in the state of kansas, legal. For the price I am stunned. The sheath is exactly what I expect from a tactical and durable sheath, the knife is a beauty! The only two negatives I can think of are that the steel will rust unless maintained and the ring is just a little big for my fingers. Other than that, as soon as I need it, I'm going to buy another and you'd do very well to get one for anyone that likes throwing, tactical, or even hunting knives. A very good deal!!
Review: Big knife, not too heavy. - Knife seems ok. It's huge. Steel is easy to sharpen and that inexpensive but good steel is why this was just $27.95. It isn't too comfortable in the hand. Grip has some hot spots but you can sand those down if you like. The grip will accommodate a big hand. I have big hands and there's room to spare so if you like wearing gloves this grip would work well. BTW, the grip panels are easily removed so you can easily modify them. The sheath is the familiar Cold Steel friction fit Secure Ex type - functional but not concealable unless you have a long long shirt or coat. Really, this knife type goes hand in hand with concealment but sometimes that isn't legal, but there it is - a fact. The grinds look good and even. The ring is nice since it serves to keep it the knife in your hand or on your trigger finger while you work without putting the knife down. So this is a fighting (defense) knife design and a unique one too since the blade is unspeakably wide. Not a "bushcraft" knife. I do like the double edge because you have twice the edge life in two edges. You can work one hard and retain the other as a nice sharp option. It isn't a good hunting knife either but again, it's a defense knife, and a formidable one. Really would be nice in a upside down rig or crossdraw sheath. Would make a nice spearhead too in a pinch. The ring would make this a great boat knife if it were stainless. Amazing deal on good plain steel. The design is awesome - way outside the box thinking in that respect. Probably a Lynn Thompson design cause he's a genius weapon designer in my opinion. Really admire that guy. Maybe the worst thing about this knife is that it somehow doesn't make you want to fondle it. It just doesn't call out to the hand in that respect. I think a great tool is one you just love to touch. You touch it a lot and you get adept with it. Maybe I can sand the grip or alter it to become that but really some wraps of hockey stick tape might be best. Worthy knife. Big time. Buy it before it's dropped from the line. One other thing is that this knife is very distinctive. Few if any knives have its outline and that can attract attention for good or bad.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Budget Tactical Knife/Dagger!
*by J***C on June 28, 2011*

I want to start this review out by saying this is a excellent "budget" tactical knife/dagger. I am a knife enthusiast, so if i see something i like i just can't help myself, and in this case i am not wrong! I will break down this review into pros and cons, so here we go! Pros 1. PRICE!, as of June/25/2011 when i placed the order for this Knife/Dagger. The price was $24.96 with free amazon shipping! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!! a big knife like this for $24.96??? Especially when the knife include a KYDEX SHEATH?!! I paid $18+$6.99 shipping for a KYDEX SHEATH for my KA-BAR 7" knife, but with SHANGHAI SHADOW you get the SHEATH and the KNIFE! Excellent value. 2. Quality of Construction, i inspected this knife closely, and as far as i can tell i can't spot any quality problems on the knife/dagger i received, the SHANGHAI SHADOW is FULL TANG CONSTRUCTION you can follow the blade all the way to its lanyard ring. This knife is ONE PIECE CONSTRUCTION. the grip is hold down securely by 2 hex screws, those screws can be taken off, if the user would like to wrap PARA CORD around the grip area and make a CUSTOM GRIP from PARA CORDS. That would be a personal choice. The Blade itself is made out of 1055 CARBON STEEL, and by all my previous experience with the COLD STEEL,1055(I also own cold steel BOWIE MACHETE, and KUKRI MACHETE), I say it is up to the job as a TACTICAL FIGHTING KNIFE STEEL, and Also as a EMERGENCY WILDERNESS SURVIVAL STEEL. 3. Weight and Balance, excellent again on that front. I did a simple test, i place my index finger just under the crossguard area of the knife, and was able to balance the knife on my index finger. Ok, moving on the CONS I just want to point out these "CONS" are not meant to criticize the knife, but suggestion for future improvements, or simply my personal pet/Peeves so don't be too hard on the knife. 1. Kind of Dull, yeah the SHANGHAI SHADOW didn't come with a great factory sharpening job. I am picky, i like my knife factory sharp, sharp enough to shave, and Shanghai shadow is not. 2. Sheath retention could be tighter. That's it if you got any question comment on the review, i'll get back to you.
