Most gear coverage skips MTech USA Knives entirely. Master Cutlery is listed as the manufacturer on four of these five knives, the blades ship as stainless with a coating or a stonewash, and the whole catalog sits below the price of a movie ticket. That combination attracts a lot of eye rolling from people who carry a $200 folder.
It also makes these knives useful in a way expensive steel isn’t. You can leave one in a glovebox, hand one to a nephew, tape one inside a tackle box, or lose one on a hiking trail without a moment of regret. The five below stood out because each one solves a different carry problem rather than repeating the same drop point folder in five colors.
1. MT-632DT Neck Knife: Best for Carry Under a Shirt
This is the one that gets bought by accident. People see the profile, register a fighting knife, and open the box to find something that measures 5.75 inches from butt to tip with a 3.25 inch blade and a shipping weight of 2.56 ounces. Read the dimensions first and the size stops being a surprise and starts being the point.
The black coated blade carries a blood groove, the tan handle is injection molded ABS, and the ABS sheath ships with a neck chain. MTech lists it as full tang. At 2.56 ounces it disappears under a collar, which is the whole reason a neck knife exists.
Where it makes sense: a backup blade for someone who already carries a folder, or a package opener that never migrates out of your bag.
Where it doesn’t: any task that needs three fingers of leverage on the handle.

2. MT-A705SBL Folder: Best Everyday Carry Value
The blue TiNite coated 3CR13 blade over aluminum scales is the reason this one moves volume, and the specs back up the looks. MTech’s own spec sheet lists a 3.5 inch drop point blade, 8 inches overall, 4.5 inches closed, and 3.5 ounces on the scale, with a liner lock, a pocket clip, and a screwdriver. Amazon’s copy for the same model adds a bottle opener and a glass breaker.
Eight inches open is a real knife, not a keychain novelty, and the aluminum handle keeps the weight in a range you forget about by lunchtime. MTech sells this model as a spring assisted knife while Amazon’s spec field reads manual, so confirm the opening action with the seller before you count on a one handed flick.

3. MT-670 Karambit: Best for Training Without Ruining Good Steel
Karambits are a commitment. The hawkbill curve pulls toward you instead of pushing away, the finger ring changes how you index the blade, and none of that transfers from a normal folder. Anyone learning the grip is going to drop it, scrape it, and wedge it into things a karambit was never meant to touch.
Spending $200 to learn that lesson makes no sense. This one runs 6.65 inches overall with a 2.5 inch stonewashed hawkbill blade at 3.3mm thick, full tang, wrapped in green camo cord with a finger hole, and it ships with a black nylon sheath.
The stonewash finish matters more here than on the other four. Scratches vanish into the texture instead of announcing themselves, so a training blade still looks presentable after a season of use.
One caution before you order: hawkbill geometry and a sub 3 inch blade land differently under different state and city carry rules, so check yours.

4. MT-A882CH Pocket Folder: Best for Pockets That Already Have Too Much In Them
Six inches open, three inches closed, a 2.75 inch mirror polished 3CR13 drop point at 3.25mm thick, and roughly 100 grams total. The handle mixes aluminum with injection molded nylon fiber, there’s a bottle opener on the handle, a lanyard hole at the end, and a pocket clip. MTech’s product description calls it a frame lock while the bullet list calls it a liner lock, so treat the exact lock type as unsettled until you have one in hand.
The bottle opener is the feature that keeps this one in rotation. It’s also the smallest knife here, and MTech’s bullets list spring assist for one handed opening, so three inches closed disappears into a pocket that’s already carrying keys and a phone.

5. MT-588DG Grenade Knife: Best Conversation Starter That Still Cuts
The handle is shaped and textured like a grenade body in green digital camo, and the spear point blade wears the same finish. Full tang, stainless throughout, 2.88 ounces, roughly 4.5 inches end to end, with a nylon fiber sheath and a pocket clip in the box. Amazon’s spec table lists a 4.25 inch blade while the bullet list says 4.25 inches closed, which cannot both be right on a 4.5 inch knife, so take the published blade figure loosely.
A stainless handle means no scales to loosen and nothing to absorb water, which is a fair trade at this size. It also means the grip gets slick when wet, so treat the texture as decoration rather than a guarantee.
Price check: this listing reads $10.99 today, well below the $14.99 it has carried before. Check the parent listing as well, since the color variants run at different prices.

Which One to Buy First
If you’re buying one, buy the MT-A705SBL. Eight inches open, ten dollars, a pocket clip, and a liner lock cover the widest range of ordinary cutting for the least money. Everything else on this list is a specialist.
Buy the MT-670 if you’re training with a karambit and don’t want to abuse an expensive one. Buy the MT-632DT or the MT-588DG if you want a fixed blade for the jobs a folder handles badly. Buy the MT-A882CH if pocket real estate is the constraint and the bottle opener seals it.
One expectation to set for all five: budget stainless takes an edge and loses it faster than the steels in a $150 folder. Factor a sharpening stone into the price and these stop feeling disposable.
