DC53 Steel 38CM (15.2IN) Full Tang 6mm Thick Fixed Knife+Sheath&(5.9IN) Cerium Igniter, Suitable for Outdoor Hunting, Camping, Survival Exploration, EDC

I purchased two of these when they were on sale, but even today they are priced at $39 - which is a bargain.The knife is built like a tank, very thick DC53 stock with a good factory edge. Suitable for a camp chopper, perhaps more. The pommel is exposed and ridged so that it can be used as an improvised hammer, and the handle scales are large and fit the hand well. I’ll know more about any blockiness on the scales after I whack on it for awhile. The spine has sectional jimping for different choke up grips, but also for scraping. While the included ferro rod comes with a striker, I’ll be curious if the spine has enough edging to strike on its own. It would have been nice to have something incorporated into the sheath to include the rod and striker, perhaps a loop or pocket.The sheath seems ok, it’s not a premium grade like I have seen on Cudeman or Jeo- Tec, but this is not a $100 plus knife. The retention strap seems solid.I’ve said this about their other models, but I’m not a big fan of the Miller Bros. induced blade treatment. However, that should not take away from the fact that this is a really good knife for the price. AA++

All I could say when I opened the Box is wow. You will not break this batoning firewood.Very Sharp very heavy. Don't like the sheath that much don't like the wood handles that much but I think it's close enough to a Becker to customize a pair of Becker scales to fit on it maybe I'll burn that silly pattern off the blade. It's pretty fantastic the way it is though. I can't wait till Americans are building these in America I will buy tons of them

If you were hesitant like me, take my advice and jump on this while it's on saleExcellent item. Was on my list but was hesitant. Watched some reviews that finally came out on this and jumped on the sale. The reviews were spot on and this is an excellent tool. I chopped down a smallish black walnut tree and that was fun. No damage to this tools edge, still paper cutting sharp. Excellent. Blade is thick and heavy and has a nice attitude adjuster on the handle.I don't care for the sheath, but it is a nice fancy one. I prefer being able to attach the sheath to my belt, while wearing my belt, also for a knife this size I would prefer a dangler and if moving around a lot a strap for my leg.I would like to find a kydex sheath for this.

Built to last, came very sharp and packaged well. This knife is a great survival knife that will be instrumental in shelter building or firewood gathering. Large knife just like I used while serving as a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. I can’t overemphasize the importance of carrying a great knife when you’re working in a job that could potentially result in placing you in a survival situation. I taught Land and Sea survival as part of my job responsibilities while serving as a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. I always pointed out, to all Aviators on the importance of having survival gear on your person. As the potential for emergency egress dictates what you will have with you for your survival after a crash or ditching. Many survival experts recommend that you keep important survival tools with you like a great knife and fire starting equipment.I have always favored a large knife as you can do everything you need with it large blade but you can’t do everything a large knife can do with a small knife.Great knife at excellent price.ASTCM Retired

Absolutely great heavy camp knife / chopper. DC53 steel (for comparison, an upgraded D2) holds a sharp edge very well. Wooden handle is fairly thick, but provides excellent grip in medium to large hand. Included heavy leather sheath is good quality, large loop will fit most belts. Also included is a large fire steel with striker. Excellent rugged set for very affordable price. Definitely would buy again!Robert B.
