Does any one have one yet? Are they any good? How are the 2 sheaths that come with it? Is it too heavy to wear around the neck as as neck knife?

The quality is great for the money, really great. As a neck knife I would say it is too heavy. The sheaths are great and lefties will be happy!

The handle is excellent in terms of grip retention. The Kaspar design insures you'll hang onto the blade, even when wet. I agreed it's too heavy for a neck knife.

How about this idea, Buy two of the same model. You get four sheaths that can be pre- mounted in dozens of ways. If you're into training blades, convert one by dulling and applying an epoxy putty edge bead. A good system for around seventy bucks. No drone needed?? Well -- you have two great knifes
and four sheaths.

I did not notice this post when I put up a brief post under the reviews forum.
It is a great knife for under $30! I just got mine today and really like it. The sheaths are harder than kydex as they are injected zytel. It is too heavy for neck carry IMHO but the carry options are great. It can be carried IWB or out and has NUMEROUS lash points and comes with a chain and para-cord for neck carry. The old stiff KISS can't hold a candle to this puppy! DEFINITELY worth $30!
