Product Description
The Ghostrike Series Fixed Blade is an ultra-light self defense knife with a sheath system configurable for low profile or open carry. The modular sheath system can be worn horizontally on the belt or vertically on a belt like a traditional fixed blade knife. Simply detach the belt loops from the grommet holes and arrange them as you please. Made with 420HC steel, the Ghostrike Series Fixed Blade's black ceramic coating offers superior corrosion resistance and minimizes reflective surfaces. Its 3.3 inch fine edge drop point blade serves to slice and rip with precision. The compact skeletal fixed blade is sized for a subtle presence, and can be worn without making a profile against your outer clothing. The rubber over-mold handle features a diamond texture, allowing for a superior grip in critical situations. Know your local laws before you decide how to carry. The Ghostrike Series Fixed Blade knife is proudly made in Portland, OR.

I've carried this for quite a lengthy time now and so this is my experience. Firstly, I do use one of those little quick release belts, but it's a lightweight one, so that's reference of what belt I use with this. I carry this knife horizontally on the belt since for me, it's the most concealment possible and the best fit. I use to carry scout style, which is directly in the middle of the back, however, I find it much more concealing when you carry to just the left of your belt buckle and have a slight cross draw with it.
Now, I work full time while carrying this at a bakery. So, I wear the black belt with black pants normally, and then a white shirt and sometimes chef coat over that. I can say that this thing is extremely convenient when it comes to concealment for how I carry it. Even if I had my shirt tucked in, you can't see the sheath there - and if you did, you'd think it was part of the belt. That's how concealed it is for me personally.
Like I mentioned previously, I carry this with me to a full time job and I've had it with me for a very long time now. I'm very picky about what's in my pockets or person since I'm moving around all night at work. With this being on the belt, I literally forget I have it usually but, I will say that having this does give me a sense of personal security.
The blade is only 3.4 inches, so it's not that large, however, it's a great option to have a little shank just for a little security, or at least mindset. It's not as if we're knife fighters here in the reviews and going to infiltrate some building with bad guys while using this knife on some stealth mission, no.
So, with that said, I'd definitely recommend this due to it being lightweight, concealability is even better than a folding knife in the pocket for me, and it's a fixed place so it's an incredibly fast draw once you practice.
I don't use this knife as a box cutter or literally anything else. I keep it razor sharp and sheathed for defense only. I think with this kind of idea and knife, it's really meant for that kind of application. Pulling this thing out in front of people, they'd probably think you're silly to use such a weapon for some boxes or something. It's hard to not want to showcase this knife, trust me, but I love the stealth aspect of it.
I will make note of the snug fit that the blade has with the sheath, it's quite snug. However, I like how it's a snug fit since I'm carrying this externally on my belt, I don't want any wobble or way of this thing popping out and losing my blade. That's me personally. I've practiced enough with this to understand how to draw it fast with it being snug, so I'm sure you could too.
The only drawback so far is the lack of a stealth-mode. It rattles a bit in the sheath. But the sheath does provide a secure fit. I wear it horizontal, and I have no fear of it falling out.
But, as others have said, it IS small. This is not one you use for skinning a buck or butchering meat. It's designed to hide well and be drawn quickly in the event of an emergency. It's quite suitable for that purpose.
I do think it's a bit pricey for the amount of steel used. You can buy a huge Buck brand knife for less. But I'm sure a lot of r&d went into the design. So, overall, worth it.
