I've owned this knife for years. I wear it quite often on my belt line. Very quick access for grabbing & stabbing, or throwing. (hint) This knife actually throws well, & its weight helps it penetrate deeper.
Since the boot knife is a EDC self defense tool, lets look at what it needs to be to solve the immediate problem. 1…You need to get it into action fast. That means one in EACH boot in a SECURE SHEATH. 2…It needs to be silent to draw. That means no snapping sound from a kydex sheath releasing the blade. Leather works. 3…It needs a surface that does not retain fingerprints. Why? Seriously? Friction taped handles are good. 4…It needs to be cheap enough that you can drop it as you walk away. Not much more than a prison style shiv. Why? Seriously? 5…Do you really believe its a good idea to have your self defense knife branded with a manufacturer name AND a serial number? 6…Remember, after you get away from the bad guy, you still have to get away from the law….Why? Seriously? I make my own out of carbon fiber that a friend liberated from a old work order at his machine shop. Cheap, light, and functional….And, no, I have never had occasion to pull a knife on anyone. And, no one knows I carry….Anything. Want to spend some money on REALLY NICE status symbol knives?

I bought this knife this summer and wore it every time i when for a bush walk and today i decided to throw it at wood and it broke in half the 4th throw. so i don't recommend this to anyone.
I have a Smith and Wesson boot knife, a different model, it's really comfortable to carry in the boot because is a little bit smaller and have a plastic sheath. I carry it everyday and I love it.
Arent boot knives meant for boots that are knee height like cowboy boots and the WW2 knee length one that US Rangers etc wore? Having one near your ankle as it articulates cant be much fun.
the reason you can't lace your boot up properly is because you are supposed to wear the sheath on the outside of the boot. These knives are actually a copy of the Bundeswehr(German Army) issue boot dagger from the 1980's,which has now been banned in politically correct Europe!
The sheath sucks imo!
When you had it in the boot did you use the clip at all?
W.S.T.- "This is my boot"
Shows boot
Me- "Yup that's a boot"
Have you tried throwing this knife?
Ummm… ummm… ummm… uhhhh…. Dude, you gotta prepare better!!

i wear this inside the waistband at 4 o clock it’s surprisingly comfortable that way. i don’t see how it fits on a boot it didn’t work for me that way
What brand are these boots from and what is the name of the model? I like them very much!
you should make a video on how you set it up in your boot.. like if some of us wanna get one, itd show the best way for comfort
my HRT is double edged

You need to prepare your delivery so that you say "uhmm…" less.

Got this as bass pro for $20 and it came with a necklace knife.

Um…suggestion: um…try to have a script or um…something.
But otherwise, a good job displaying the boot knife, in your boot. Keep it up.
honestly….
It's not "appellation" trail. It's "app-uh-latch-uhn".
Who wants to come along on my camping trip

Thank you for this thorough review. You had a lot of good info and I was able to make my mind up to buy it.
What's the boot?
I've recently been stabbed with this knife. trust me, it's great for self defense.
OIL YOUR BOOTS HOLY SHIT.
i assume those are red-wings or wolverines. either way, take care of your damn boots, and they will take care of you
