This short blade is similar in material as the Cold Steel FGX Tai Pan Knife 92FTP reviewed earlier. I was looking for a knife to fill my online basket, and this one conveniently came up as an option. Also, I thought a shorter model would be a good alternative, or one that I could pass to my dive buddy. This is more a stabbing implement than a cutting one.
Like the earlier longer model, I bought this knife (on 28 February 2015) for diving use as the knife will not suffer from corrosion and would not require as much care as a regular stainless steel diving knife. The handle is also made of Kray-ExTM. In case you didn’t catch it in the other article, for diving-purpose steel knives, I use a special steel known as H1, which will not corrode and rust even in salty seawater conditions. For more information on this steel, see the Spyderco Salt I C88SBK found in my collection as well.

At 1 oz, this is a very light knife, if it can be called one. It retails for US$12.99. I have not tested it outdoors, but I am quite sure, as with products from Cold Steel, that it will not disappoint. One just have to remember that it is not a steel-bladed knife. It will not cut paper or other materials like a regular knife would. Even so, this “knife” is restricted in Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Blade: 8.3 cm (3.25″), Handle: 8.9 cm (3.50″); Overall Length: 16.2 cm (6.38″)
