10" Fixed Blade Tactical Knives with Sheath and Clip, Stainless Steel Survival Hunting Bushcraft Full Tang Non-Slip Handle Knife for Camping, Hunting, Adventure, Outdoors, EDC，Military Green

Effective blade, especially after sharpening

When you buy a knife like this, you need to ask yourself why? For me it has certain utility: a). Fishing b). Hunting c). Feathering d). Light Utility e). Limited Protection f). Foraging/Prepping. It's not for chopping, and it's not for batoning. It's not a fighting knife. It's not garbage.The last Gerber I bought was produced with 7CR13 steel in China, and the blade rolls from any type of medium to vigorous use. It didn't come as sharp as this knife. It costed roughly twice as much. Gerber is a name from the 1980s that doesn't sell with me - I really don't like most of their knives, and I would easily replace a Gerber with a Chinese knock off made in the same factory. Gerber isn't all that, and I'll be honest - it never was. If you got a Mark II back in the 1980s instead of an Applegate Fairbairn or an Al Mar, you probably weren't very serious.This knife is light but functional, arm shaving sharp with a CR13 (and I don't know which CR13) steel which doesn't roll or blunt as quickly as a Gerber. It is equivalent to a stainless Mora for roughly a little less or the same money. Is it worth it? You can spend $60 for the Gerber and have to work to get the edge this thing comes from the factory with to get the same utility.A bug out bag toss in knife which will not be a waste of space and come in handy.I'm not one to toss knives around as I'm a grown up and a knife is your last hope in a situation. It's not a spear and shouldn't be thrown at anything. I suppose you could throw this knife, but you'd be better served in tossing old spark plugs, hand sized stones, hardballs or bricks if you need to throw something to get out of a difficult situation.I give this item five stars as I give Mora knives 5 stars for what they are - if I paid $60 for the Gerber with the semi-dull edge which rolls they come with I'd be giving that a 2. If you don't need a stainless Mora-esque utility knife, you don't need this knife.If the blade were thicker and 2 - 3" longer and made of at least 1075 carbon steel, I'd pay $6 - $7 more for it, but then it would be a Kabar alternative.The sheath is cheap but functional - I would prefer it in ODG or Coyote and I'd pay $2 more for a ferro rod.

Overall a nice cheap knife. I would not try to split wood with it, but for light camping or work related tasks, it serves it's purpose. Takes and loses its edge easily, I was using this knife to stir up fire ants and then use a powder to kill them, it's nice for plunging to the nest and giving them a stir, but the blades edge doesn't hold up vs some other knives. Yes I'm aware that's a torture test, but a few passes with a cheap sharpener and it's good to go again.It will strip wire, cut tape, and cardboard but does get dull after a few slices of cardboard.The blade is flexible, have bent or broken it, but I've seen it flex a bit.The sheath is ok. The belt loop holder is not awesome. I have sat down and pushed it right off the belt. Also tried a bolt on belt carrier, it doesn't seem to have holes in what I'm guessing are a "standard" spacing. I got it to screw down enough it works.

Good product

El cuchillo es aceptable, pero tiene que mejorar, ya que al cortar una planta de bananas (la cual no es nada dura), la hoja se quedó atorada y se le salió la empuñadura.

Sharp,quality blade,bound handle.

As others have stated in other fair reviews, this is a fantastic knife for the money. It's well balanced, and the grip feels great. I like that it's ambidextrous with no finger grooves. I feel it's easily worth twice the price but yes, will not live up to its $60-80 counterparts made by the more well-known "G" company that it's obviously copying. The blade is a little thinner than I'd prefer but again, you can't complain due to the low cost, so that's only an observation not a detractor. And it just means you need to be a little more careful with the tip and not use it for prying and not use the back to pound on for splitting wood. I mean you could, and then just buy another one in a year or two. If fact it's so cheap, that it really is worth buying a few and stash in different places, different vehicles etc. But if you plan to go deep-woods back-packing in the wilderness for a week or two I'd get the real deal. This one is essentially more suited for your general weekend car / truck camping and RV trips. It's no slouch though, I've very happy with it and it fits great in the included sheath. I've used it for several months (of light use) without issue. Cheers.

Great little knife for a little weekend camping trip, pretty sturdy and came very sharp and handle was very comfortable in the hand
