It shaved my leg out of the box! Review: Besides poor marketing, knife and sheath combo need some work. - OK, full tang. Decent stainless steel, doesn't roll or chip, but selling a dullish knife with a kitchen knife grind as an "elite fighting knife" in 2017 is pathetic. Tanto blade design decent for fighting, not so much for hunting. Glass breaker passable for a limited number of uses. Rubber handle comfortable, grips decently, but lacks guard. Would not use this knife with a wet hand. Sheath kinda MOLLE compatible, but doesn't lock knife. Minus. This blade is not razor sharp and should come so from the factory. The lanyard, while better than nothing, earns a C'Mon Man - paracord is not expensive. The sheath will not hold knife securely in and needs a buckle and/or fasteners to secure it. Sheath will break and chip. The edge grind and the stainless blade material would preclude this from being a work knife. Stainless has the proclivity of breaking while used to baton. Would not chop, baton or feather with this knife. A metal guard incorporated into the design would be nice and your fingers would agree. 1095 or D2 HIGH CARBON steel WITH A RAZOR EDGE and a better grind could make this knife double as a possible work knife. Not sharp enough out of box to be a fighter. Would be marginal hunting knife with dullish edge and blade geometry as is. Puncturing organs while field dressing would be a constant concern. Fishing knife, I guess: just don't filet. Sheath needs fasteners. All in all, if one deploys or hunts with this knife, have it professionally sharpened (and maybe reground) first. Consider replacing sheath or adding fasteners. The Croatians make this knife and claim it is an "elite fighting knife." Made in Croatia with decent quality control. A Buck Nighthawk is a similar but much better knife. The product is decent, but must be improved to be marketed as a deployment ready, "elite fighting knife." A fighting knife which isn't sharp enough to cut steak isn't much of a fighting knife, not even a hunting knife, and you aren't going to safely filet fish with this. The Croatians should employ consultants who actually use and work with knives to improve their knife production. When both Schrade and Condor can do a better job for less with "budget minded work and hunting knives," Kovachek has no business calling these things "elite fighting knives." Potentially better than Gerber, Cold Steel or SOG mass production, Kovachek doesn't have it together to claim its share of the market. A Kabar it is not. ## Features - Military Grade BSD9 Premium Steel - Full Tang - Tactical TANTO Combat Blade - Combat Kyrdex Sheath - Lightweight SOLID RUBBER Handle ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00YYULHD6 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Blade Material | Alloy Steel | | Blade Shape | Tanto Point | | Brand | Kovacek | | Brand Name | Kovacek | | Color | Steel | | Customer Reviews | 3.3 3.3 out of 5 stars (23) | | Date First Available | June 5, 2015 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Rubber | | Item Length | 10 Inches | | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 11.3 x 2.5 x 1.3 inches | | Manufacturer | Adventure Knives | | Material | Military grade BSD9 Premium Steel Blade | | Model Name | Kovacek EVN27 | | Package Weight | 0.25 Kilograms | | Part Number | Kovacek EVN27 Tanto | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Military | | Shape | ergonomic | | Size | Large Size | | Special Feature | Full Tang, Lightweight | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 088745532680 | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** Kovacek - **Color:** Steel - **Handle Material:** Rubber - **Model Name:** Kovacek EVN27 - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash Only - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Military - **Special Feature:** Full Tang, Lightweight - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![EVN27 : Tactical Combat, Fixed 4.9 Inch Tanto Blade Knife, Full Tang, Military Grade Steel, Survival Ready with Kydax Sheath / Solid Rubber Handle - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7190xLeviNL.jpg) ![EVN27 : Tactical Combat, Fixed 4.9 Inch Tanto Blade Knife, Full Tang, Military Grade Steel, Survival Ready with Kydax Sheath / Solid Rubber Handle - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JdwIl9BmL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these made in china?** A: My guess is yes. I think these are nothing more than an example of a marketing trick to be honest. Although not bad, it's no better quality than say, "M-tech." If you want a quality tanto for a comparable price Cold Steel maes a few... **Q: Is the sheath concealable?** A: Hello, Yes, you can reverse so the blade is inside your pants or boot. **Q: What is BSD9 knife steel, can't say that i have ever heard of it and i cannot find any info on it to be a "military grade premium"** A: You would have to contact Kovacek directly, we just buy them from a distribution company. The BSD9 is a very hard steel and reliable from all customers who tells us. **Q: What is the blade material? Is it Stainless steel, carbon steel or what?** A: It is the Kovacek BSD9 which to my best knowledge is a high carbon ferritic stainless hardened with carbon, chromium and nickel. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the money *by A***R on September 3, 2016* It's beautiful, very good quality control, and very sharp.

Sheath 1/10 *by J***3 on May 4, 2018* Blade is fantastic its a good weight and design and it was even pretty sharp... But the sheath is junk its made of fake kydex like material held together by cheap rivits and the loop is really thin so it will only fit certain belts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/32195623-evn27-tactical-combat-fixed-4-9-inch-tanto-blade-knife](https://www.desertcart.us/products/32195623-evn27-tactical-combat-fixed-4-9-inch-tanto-blade-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
