Any comments that you can shared?
I love this knife. Now it is important to keep in mind intended purpose for gear, especially knives which come in such a wide variety. This knife’s purpose is all-rounder and survival. This means it is sort of a jack-of-all trades, master of none blade. What do I mean?
1. It’s too heavy to EDC unless you are really a guide or bushman or Mick Dundee.
2. It’s more heavy duty than normal camping or bushcraft would require. A 4-5 inch blade of half of this thickness can be used for most wood processing especially if you have other tools, like a saw or hatchet.
3. Not an ideal fighting knife I would think. I am not a knife fighter, but it isn’t balanced for speed and it is not shaped for thrusting or probably even slicing flesh as effectively as it could be.
So why five stars? Because this thing is excellent at being what it is made for, a one-stop shop. If I was going out into the wild and I could only bring one tool, it would be this (unless I was going to be wet all the time, then it would be a stainless steel equivalent). It is well made, comfortable and effective to use, and can fill many roles pretty well.
It came sharp, and it wasn’t hard to put a better edge on it. The recurve makes it a little more difficult if you really want to get it shaving sharp, but it can be done and a simple field sharpen is easy enough.
Sheath is very good, not amazing, but a very well made kydex or leather sheath would cost more than this whole package. It is easy to strap to your leg, has a plastic liner so it should last. The detachable pouch is pretty useful. I keep it separate from the blade and have a fire steel, lighter, tiny Bear Grylls mini torch, lansky knife medic and a couple of fire starter packets… essentially a “get out of the dark” kit. I figure if all I have is a sturdy blade, and a reliable way to make fire… i’ll be doing a lot better than if I didn’t have those two things.
Bottom line: For the money, It’s hard to imagine a better companion. It doesn’t get used as much as my other knives, because, frankly I almost always have a knife that does what I specifically want to do better and more conveniently, but if I could only take one knife with me “out there.” without knowing what was going on or for how long, I would grab this one. I shopped it against more expensive knives but honestly this one seemed better.
Do you recommended to buy the products?
YES. This knife is nice and has a really thick spine and a good hefty weight while still being pretty darn balanced. I love the weight of it. I did feel the need to give it a good sharpen when I got it but it wasn’t dull just not up to par.
Conclusion
Based on the prices and specifications offered online, it’s easy for me to compare prices and be more confident when I see a lot of recommendations and experiences from other customers.
