Trench Raider Knife - Knuckle Duster

Doesn't feel too bad in the hand. Knuckles plenty big enough for fingers to comfortably grasp in. Broke tip off due to user error but now works good to scrape stuff off with lol

This knife taught me why any knife with a partitioned knuckle bow needs smaller, more tightly spaced holes for the third and fourth partitions. What happens for me is that my third and fourth finger (ring and pinky) get pulled out of the 'fist' that I want to make when holding the knife blade 'up'. It's uncomfortable to simply hold the knife, and if I were to use it with any force, I'm concerned that I might wrench or even injure a finger. Great looking, but ultimately useless. Consider the '1918 WWI Trench Knife' , or perhaps the 'marine folding trench knife' instead...

I'm a former 0372 ( Raider ) and I served with the 1st. M.S.O.B. / MARSOC with a total of 4 combat deployments... A friend gave me this knife, and at first I thought " what a piece of crap", but then I put an razor sharp edge on it and wow... It seriously holds it edge extremely well, I really like how the grip fits on my hand, and it has good weight. I have to say that whenever I go hunting, fishing, or am in the woods, I always carry a concealed sidearm, but your knife is right with me as well....

Hardly needed to sharpen it at all. Great addition to my collection.

This knife is a perfect addition to my tactical belt.

Excellent. Good product, great price.

First of all it was delivered in a nice black well made cardboard box, it just made opening it up feel and look nice The "Trench Raider " (love the name) is just great, tough looking, thick blade, solid, fits my hand/fingers or anyone's hand really due to the "decent opening finger size. The Knuckle-Buster feature is one of the main reasons I bought it, I have personally been attacked and have had a weapon taken out of my hand, never again! The sheath is very substantial and riveted to my delight. The "pakkawood wood" handle is ideal, look it up it, is a wood and resin lamination that is virtually waterproof and a perfect medium for weapon handles and looks fantastic! The three black recessed screws that attach the grip/handle look total bad- azz and are way nicer than some kind of "rivets", the handle would never come loose under any condition! Very worth $16.98 and I would highly recommend it. For me personally it is about 1 1/2 inches longer than I think it needs to be but that's just me and a minor thing. Buy it, you will not be sorry.

I chose this budK offering as my "Christmas Knife" for 2019 and ordered a trio of them to give as gifts. My shipment arrived on time and was unboxed and inspected on the kitchen table. The trench raider was opened first due to my curiosity, and I was pleased with what I found. The metal was a nice full tang arrangement with the knuckle guard you would expect from a trench style knife. The knuckle guard is big enough to grip in both directions to allow for different fighting styles. One of my friends who got this as a gift texted me "its perfect" so we jokingly re named it the "Ash Fork Toothpick" after our dusty hometown in Arizona. To me that says it all. For the sake of an objective and credible review we must mention the cons. The blade is sharp and powder coated standard black with a pleasing micarta type handle. Snazzy, one might say. It is of the same quality steel you see in many different full tang designs at this price, but its lightweight for its size. What the metal lacks in quality is countered by the thickness of the blade and tang overall, which I found satisfactory if not remarkable. Its Big but not too big. I like nylon sheaths myself, so I was happy with the one it came with. This is a solid 5 star blade-piece all the way. The uses are limited only by your imagination. Could be fashioned into a spear with paracord if you have some laying around. If you dont then shame on you. All things considered, thats a lot of fun for 15 bucks! Thank you budK.

Just unboxed mine. It's sturdy, yet light. It comes out of the box decently sharp so I barely have to do anything with that. It's a lil longer than I thought it was gonna be but hey, more knife, right? The knuckle holes are nice and large too, so you could hold it in any direction. It's not the most comfortable knife for me (I've got little hands) but for less than the price of the average meal at an average restaurant, I can't complain. 4 stars.

Decent, but amazing for the price. I personally took the scales off and wrapped the grip with paracord. I also sharpened the back edge with an angle grinder. A little work and it is solid. Finna boog.

I bought two of these blades; just got them yesterday. Out of the box, they were a lot bigger than I expected, but that hardly bothered me. Rather, one of the blades had a small dent along the edge, but it was nothing a sharpening steel couldn't fix. Besides that, they fit pretty well in my hands; the knuckle guards could use some bigger grips to make it a bit more comfortable to wield. Overall, they were worth the money I dropped on them.
