Cold Steel(92FJD) FGX Jungle Dart, One Size, BLK

I just want to say first, don't mind that ignorant 1 star reviewer. Cold Steel is the COMPANY NAME. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. They got what they deserve for impulse buying without knowing at all what they're buying. I bought this knife alongside another plastic cold steel knife in the same line for the purpose of having a plastic knife. I knew what i was getting into when buying these. Don't expect to do any kind of heavy tasks with this thing. These are great because they're so cheap you can buy several and stash them around your home incase of an emergency situation where you'd need to protect yourself. Better than being unarmed. Now despite this thing being made of grivory, aka plastic, it has great penetration power. On the other hand it has absolutely zero cutting power but this thing isn't designed for cutting it's purely penetration. In a life or death situation this absolutely has the ability to save your life. I recommend this thing to all my friends who're looking for some kind of knife for self protection that isn't made of metal. The only thing is that it comes with a steel ring looped through the end AND I'M NOT CONDONING THIS but you could in theory with a little brute force pry it right off. The ring is there so people cant take these things through metal detectors. SO FOR LEGAL REASONS, LEAVE THE RING ON 😳👍

Nice little hide out weapon/knife. Yeah it's made of plastic material. But for the price it's worth it

I bought this out of more curiosity then any specific need, but for the price it seemed like a fun item. It is made of grivory (plastic reinforced with fiberglass) with a handle that has kraton (basically feels like rubber). It is exceptionally light weight, less then an ounce, however despite the weight it feels well made. The design seems well thought out. I really can't think of a use for this except for stabbing something. The point is very sharp but the edges aren't blade sharp (not a butter knife but not far off). But if you use this as self protection I would fully expect that the blade portion would easily penetrate the length of the blade (a bit over 3 in). Despite other reviews, I cannot fathom using this as a throwing knife, and I don't think it would be useful as a box opener or such. I guess you could use it as a letter opener but the tip is triangular and thick and it doesn't seem designed for that (looks like it was designed to stab).The only issues that I see are that the rubber like handle is a bit short (ie the rubber should cover a bit more of the dart for a better grip). I think you are supposed to put your thumb against the butt end of it however even using it like that the rubber grip is too short. The ring that comes with it (fits in the end of the dart) may be also used in the grip (wrap around thumb) but I just think it gets in the way and you would not want to hang it from a belt (it would just stab you when you sit down). Furthermore, there is no sheath and this thing is a bear to carry around without a sheath (basically it will stab through anything you carry it in).If you could find a way to carry this without stabbing yourself it would be a great item to take camping (weights almost nothing but could be used for protection...obviously not big game but maybe a vicious racoon or such). Or put it in your car for personal protection (or you can hide it in your garage etc).for <10 bucks its a cool item.

Very sharp stabbing thing looks durable. I am going to make a Kydex sheath for it

This is a piece of crap. I don't know how Cold Steel justifies making this... When I originally was glancing over reviews it appeared like it would be good for throwing but its PLASTIC! There is no practicality for this item. It has no strength, no weight, no decorative use.I have other cold steel products but this is just disappointing that Cold Steel would even put this out. Like other reviewers I didn't know what "Grivory" was, its just a fancy word for plastic. I saw a Cold Steel youtube review and laughed when they stabbed a cardboard tube but I didn't realize that the jungle dart was plastic. I don't know how even with it being a cardboard tube it didn't bend the tip.If you're standing in your bedroom two feet from a cardboard target (as I've seen some doing) then MAYBE this could have some purpose but after five or so throws its going to break down.NOT FOR SERIOUS THROWERS!

This thing is GREAT! In terms of what this is *really* for, and what you are paying - just shut up and buy it! The grip is great, and it's sharp and actually very scary. Between one of these and pepper spray (assuming that gets past the security "experts" that wouldn't give af if you were assaulted), you are pretty much good to go against anyone. Of course it's basically a nylon shiv.... but most people aren't very interested in fighting after they get stabbed. I found a sick locking kydex sheath for it online. This thing has better ergonomics than a lot of expensive knives I own! The grip feels SO solid, it has a nice rough thumb groove - and I think you could probably even get quite a few blows in before it broke. I actually just went ahead and got an extra for storage!

Well, the product got here on time, (the earliest date at that!) and i opened it to find the tip broken off. I didn't mind too much, as i would never use it for violence, but if that's your plan, forget it. This "knife" is really just hard plastic. Unlike other reviewers, i knew it was plastic the day after i ordered it, so i wasn't too mad when i got it. The ring on the end of it sucks, and is hard to pull off. It's also not viable for throwing; it's back is not symmetrical with the front, and it's, again, plastic. I gave it a three star because at the end of the day, it is well made for plastic, and the design is cool as hell. I'd prefer a metal one, (even 440 steal!)but this will do.
