The blade is incredibly sharp and is incredibly sturdy. The blade is the full tang and is well designed ergonomically.
To note, you can equip this knife with the TDI belt clip to use it on thinner belts. Can be had from Amazon for 12$But I will say this knife does take a bit of force to release from the sheath so even with the TDI clip, it will pull up on your belt significantly far; even with a thicker webbed belt.
https://www.amazon.com/Ka-Bar-Metal-Belt-Clip-Knives/dp/B00180D1ES/ref=pd_sim_1?pd_rd_w=BwkNy&pf_rd_p=dde9b612-c71c-4550-8f12-758d90eade9e&pf_rd_r=1RZ6CJBWPTZ0916S0XY8&pd_rd_r=763b923b-4076-4516-9286-d383a9d55e91&pd_rd_wg=BbTkz&pd_rd_i=B00180D1ES&psc=1.
I wore it on the Velcro portion of my duty belt on a left side appendix carry then placed the main duty belt over top of it. This gave me access to it with both hands if needed for either firearm retention and an attack or a block an attack depending on the situation. It was out of the way and the grip was large enough to grab in a high stress situation.
The only drawback I found was, if you ever put on weight or have a large stomach it may affect the way you carry it. I gained some weight while working that complex and the knife became unconformable to carry.
All in all, if your physiology allows you to carry this knife I highly recommend it. It's out of the way when you don't need it and always available when you do. It's high quality and a must have if you work in a dangerous area.
