Ghost Knives took a classic neck knife design and then upgraded and modified it to give us the Banshee. The Banshee takes the neck knife design to the next level by giving you a small compact fixed blade that comes with an awesome kydex sheath, D2 steel, and a large handle for good grip. Plus they are USA made. You can't go wrong.

I've had mine for over a year and it still looks brand new. Rarely have to sharpen. Great sheath.

I picked this knife up a few months ago and have been very happy with it. It's lightweight and really holds a great edge, the perfect knife for backpacking. My only quip is it looks like the sharpener got a little eager and kissed the choil removing some of the cerakote. I also recommend buying through their website as they offer far more colors combinations then are available on Amazon.

It performs extremely well for such a small knife. It's small enough to wear on a leg strap opposite my pistol without bouncing around or being uncomfortable. It holds it's edge almost forever and is cheap enough to replace(especially for a quality usa blade) to replace if you lose it. I never wrapped mine with the paracord.

This appears to be a new company, but it looks like they took their time coming to market as this inaugural knife appears to be the design of seasoned vets. The knife is lightweight and very practical for backpacking (what I primarily use it for). From my experience D2 isn't the toughest steel, but the relatively small size of this knife seems to help negate this potential weakness. The tradeoff is a compact easy to carry knife that holds an edge better than any other knife I've owned. The knife also comes with paracord (the have a huge selection of colors and styles)which wraps really nicely onto the handle; again from a outdoors-man perspective this makes a very nice handle for the knife that can also be used as rope or fishing line in a bind. All in all a great knife and I look forward to seeing what products come from this fledgling company in the future.

D2 is actually better known for its wear resistance than its toughness (aka impact resistance). It takes a great edge and HOLDS it! That said, it's also a decently tough steel. It's a great all around steel and you can't go wrong with D2 IMO. There are tons of great steels out there, so if you ask 5 different people you'll get 5 different favorites lists based on their personal preferences.

I'm not a knife expert, but I was under the impression that D2 was one of the toughest steels used for knife blades. Could someone list the top 5 or so steels?Thanks.

How do you give a 10 to every category and then overall get a 9?

Great knife! This is an extremely well thought out little fixed blade. First, it performs fantastically. D2 really takes a fine edge and holds it! I use it a ton and rarely have to put a new edge on it. For a knife of this size, I find it to be quite comfortable. It's a small knife so I find wrapping it with paracord makes it quite a bit more comfortable than if you use it bare. It's very light.

It should be noted that it's entirely made in the USA. For the price, that is pretty amazing considering that many Chinese made knives cost most. Ghost Knives is a small company but worth checking out for that reason alone as well as the fact that they make solid knives.
