KUBEY Hippocam KU166 Fixed Blade Utility Knife Hand Tool 2.36" Tanto D2 Blade With Snap Faster Kydex For Outdoor Hiking Camping And Everyday Carry (Jade) Review

Having carried fixed blades made of high end steel and by well known knife designers, I would still trust my life to the Kubey Hippocampi as a defensive and possibly utility tool. Nothing particularly stands out about this knife but everything about this knife design is done well. The clip on the sheath really hooks and bites into your belt, and it seems to require just the right amount of force to draw in that you would not have any worries of it accidentally slipping out. You also hear and…

Really nice blade. Incredibly sharp and feels sturdy. I got this for a self defense blade to carry on my weak side when I'm carrying my firearm.As far as the sheath goes, it's ok. Holds the knife very well, but screws don't hold the best and the sheath comes down too far. Easy fix, I just filed it down so I could get my finger in.Blade: 5 starsSheath: 3.5/4 stars

I’m a knife nut, I am also a steel snob. D2 steel is an amazing steel. This blade came so sharp I actually could shave my face with. I have worn this appendix carry for days and love it. I did make one little modification to the sheath so I could for my finger so it could purchase the loop. I just used a Rotary tool and sanded it took me about 10 minutes. And it allowed me to get my finger in the loop when I draw it out of the sheath. That has nothing to do with the blade the blade is honestly…

The knife was good-great edge, fits in the hand -the flaw is the sheath-it takes two hands to get the knife out of the sheath- I came close to pulling off my belt trying to get it out of the sheath.

I absolutely love this Knife. I do have many knives made by Kubey. I like the quality and durability they are made from. Great for an EDC.

Wow. For the money this blade is amazing. Super sharp right out the gate. Kydex holster works well has a mushy click in if you don't put it in just right but 100% secure. Handle is a but weird but the was a sacrifice I was willing to make for the blade size. Grips are secure stone wash finish is very nice. Would recommend 100%

This knife great size for a back up defense. Thick G10 handles and D2 full Tang steel. Handle a bit on the narrow side, but good shape to hold. Nice secure kydex sheath, very strong hold. Definitely blade will not fall out from sheath. Only thing I would change is the belt holder. Very thin plastic and if u try to pull the blade out. The holder part will flex to the point where ur holding the knife n sheath! But other than that it's really a nice back up knife. Just replace the belt holder with

I love the larger blade size (still under the 2.5 inch requirement for my work).G10 Jade grip panels are beautiful, and you can 3D Print customized panels if you have the motivation to do so.The clip that comes with the sheath is garbo as my belts are thicker than the average belt so I'll have to rework that while the knife sits in my pocket.

I was really happy with this product it’s definitely worth it for The price I was expecting something of lower craftsmanship definitely would recommend it as a nice gift

I've owned now three of these. Thr sheath doesn't last as if A CHILD MADE THEM. I wasn't mad until it took over a month to convince the HR department to give me a price to replace. not even asking for free stuff. just the price and they led me to the water. Never again with this company

Interesting design and good quality for the price. Blade came pretty dull and will need some sharpening before being put to work.
