Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smith & Wesson SWHRT9B Black HRT Boot Knife
Customer Review: Extremely pleased, enough to purchase 3 total
Summary: 4 Stars
As I've written in other reviews, I've been very pleased with several of the Smith and Wesson knives found on amazon.com. These were no exception. I originally purchased 1 of these knives for use in my Bates urban combat boots, and have since purchased 2 more.
In regards to the quality of this knife, it is extremely well made. The sheath seems to be genuine leather, and the blade itself has a very nice powder coat. The handle is a very high quality rubber, and I believe the knife to be full tang. I haven't taken the handle apart to check, as that would effectively ruin it, but based upon its feel, and the weight, I believe it is full tang. The balance of this knife is wonderful.
As a note, this blade is double-edged, which has questionable legality in certain localities. Additionally, as it is a boot knife, in certain locations, wearing this in a boot without a concealed weapons permit may be illegal. While I am not a lawyer, and you should not take this as legal advice, in general, as it is a blade and not a firearm, nobody seems to care. However, it is something to keep in mind.
The blade itself is very well made, and has handled many throws at very objects (as the knife is so well balanced, I've utilized it as a throwing knife while bored, or just for fun). The powder coating WILL degrade over time as the knife is plunged into a material such as wood, as the wood will scrape it off. On my original knife, about 1 inch of the tip is without coating, mostly because of the amount of times I've stabbed it, or thrown it, into wood. The blade seems to hold an edge very well, but again, be aware, that the coating will come off if, during sharpening, you are not careful to sharpen ONLY the edge. The point has remained very sharp and "pointy", despite being thrown and stabbed into various materials.
In review of the sheath, it is very well made, and has held up exceptionally well to days worn in my boots. As a note, the "clip" on the side of the sheath, which keeps it in the boot, generally does not support thicker boots. It's made for cowboy boots, or something with a similar material thickness, and so hiking or combat boots are very difficult to use with these knives. In my case, I clip it on the waterproof goretex that it behind the zipper on my boots, which is much thinner. I am unable to clip it to the side of the boot otherwise. It does NOT clip well onto a pocket, as there is too much handle.
Again, I'm very pleased, and own 3 of these knives. The length is just about right, as is the balance, finish, and quality. You will not be disappointed, and I highly recommend this knife.
