SZCOSupplies Hunter Blade, 12-Inch

He has not finished but he loves the blade. Will order again.

I just bought two knives from this company, this one, and a smaller skinning knife. The skinning knife was an inch shorter than claimed, and that was on the tang too, where is needs to have that extra length.It said it was 'supposed to be' 6-1/2" (inches) but it was only 5-1/2", so they shorted me on the tang, making it virtually useless.This knife however is different, not a complaint one from me on this.I saw no warping on the one that I have, I saw nothing out of the ordinary actually, and it's very sharp too. Also, I have no idea as to the hardness of the knife, I am not a 'knife guy', one that knows knives, I am only playing around with this.Actually, I really like the knife, I would wholeheartedly say, "Get it!" with the exception of, are they consistent with their deliveries with what the page shows, I can't answer that. In other words, if they screwed up my other knife, they could sure screw this order up, or... not.I do want to say that the reviews on my other knife were REALLY bad, the reviews are full of unhappy people that received the same knife that I did, a shorter tang than what they show on their web page.(I somehow missed reading those reviews, I only read this one)Now, this has a full tang, so this is different, the other had a partial tang, so that might make all of the difference in the world.So, I'd have to say that I am happy with this purchase, hopefully you will be also should you decide to buy.

I put a handle on it, and now it looks great! The blade was super dull out of the box, but that was easily fixed.

Knife blank itself is pretty nice. Mine came with no brass guard and I was told it “couldn’t be replaced”. I did get a $2.50 credit, still would have rather had the guard.Overall the blade itself is nice and will look good once I finish it.

The media could not be loaded. The handle is something I made and put on it, very easy to work with metal, not sure if it’s stainless steel, can’t remember if it was supposed to be but it’s still solid metal.

Despite the price it seems to be decent still you do have to clean up the Tang but that's part of the process LOL it was an interesting project and I enjoyed the build and then gave it away to the first person that could answer a specific question about the knife

Makes a great gift

The price says a lot!! I'm not very impressed!! It's definitely not stainless steel! The tang is oddly shaped and way too big. The holes in the tang are too small. The brass guard is huge. The edge has a ridge on it and needs honed. It'll take a lot of work to make a half way decent knife out of it.
