## Description

desertcart.com : KUBEY Hippocam KU166 Fixed Blade Utility Knife Hand Tool 2.36in D2 Steel Blade with Kydex Sheath : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Sheath really hooks into your belt while grip and blade design cinches into your hand - Having carried fixed blades made of high end steel and by well known knife designers, I would still trust my life to the Kubey Hippocampi as a defensive and possibly utility tool. Nothing particularly stands out about this knife but everything about this knife design is done well. The clip on the sheath really hooks and bites into your belt, and it seems to require just the right amount of force to draw in that you would not have any worries of it accidentally slipping out. You also hear and feel an audible click when you re-sheath the blade, which I personally like. The finger hole is more than large enough for pretty much any hand size, yet the grip is perfect for someone with smaller hands like me. Once your fingers enclose around the G10 grip and got a finger through the finger hole, you know knife is not going anywhere involuntarily. I carry this knife on my left side and draw in a reverse grip, I cannot speak on it's effectiveness as an everyday utility type of tool as I would use another knife for such tasks. The design of the Hippocampi is nothing new and there are similar higher end designs out there (still waiting on the newest Spyderco Swick), but for the price you get more than your money's worth.
Review: Good edge retention and concealability - Had this for a couple years now. Great neck knife! Beefy D2 steel blade. Kind of an odd blade shape but I dig it. Edge retention is great. Weighty for the size. The point is super fine but strong and SHARP. The handles aggressive curve is the only drawback. However it still feels fine in the hand but you have to grip it a very particular way. I use it for everything. Breakdown boxes, cut a steak lol, shave wood, open packages etc.... Good all rounder. Ideal for neck knife concealability. I keep mine on a lanyard under my shirt 24/7. Would also be easy to turn into a makeshift spear tip blade in a pinch in a survival scenario.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this belt clip accommodate a thick belt? I'm not referring to the belt width but the actual thickness of the belt material.**
A: I wear a concealed carry belt that's tall and thick, full leather and the knife's stock clip fits well.

**Q: Will the sheath fit on standard 2 inch duty belt?**
A: No, 2" belt to wide. Possibly a 1 1/2" belt.

**Q: How do I get another case clip ?**
A: If only there was an internet site you could go to shop for & buy a new clip

**Q: Is the sheath convertible to left hand draw?**
A: I believe it it is. I own this, but it is at work. 
So going by memory and the pics, the belt clip is held on with rivnuts,  I believe there called. 
And the sheath is smooth on both sides , so a simple flip to southpaw should be option. 

I will say, the knife is surgical sharp, holds a good edge, and seems to sharpen nicely.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stupid sharp, amazing price, D2 steel
*by W***E on January 7, 2020*

I’m a knife nut, I am also a steel snob. D2 steel is an amazing steel. This blade came so sharp I actually could shave my face with. I have worn this appendix carry for days and love it. I did make one little modification to the sheath so I could for my finger so it could purchase the loop. I just used a Rotary tool and sanded it took me about 10 minutes. And it allowed me to get my finger in the loop when I draw it out of the sheath. That has nothing to do with the blade the blade is honestly the best blade you will find for the price. The sheath also has about eight different ways you can carry it, inside the waistband, outside the waistband, straight up, sideways, kind of like the elevator and Willy Wonka.
