great quality knife for the money!
By Travis Southerland
I bought one of these knives about 2 years ago and used it all the time. It is laminated metal for strength and sharpness. The Scandi grind on it is sharp and easy to re-sharpen. I pulled it right out of the shipping package and was able to shave hair with it. It keeps an edge pretty decent. I have used it for everything from the standard knife uses to making figure 4 dead falls, and other traps. It easily cuts through a finger sized stick in one swipe. I was recently robbed and the knife is something that was taken. I liked it well enough that I bought a second one. A great knife at a great price.

By J. Devine
If you're interested in some big black tactical knife look elsewhere. If you want an affordable, well made outdoors (camping/hunting)knife this is an excellent choice. It's made in Norway and has most of the Scandinavian style knife elements- razor sharp Scandinavian grind on the laminated blade, large wooden handle, no guard. It has been well reviewed in most knife circles, and has a good reputation as a bush knife. I love the large handle- it's big and comfortable making it easy to work with over long periods with no slipping. The blade is razor sharp out of the box and the scandi grind makes it easy to sharpen. It has a fitted leather sheath that is starts a bit tight but breaks in after time. Even after breaking it in, the knife is secure in the sheath. It's very unobtrusive in its sheath which can be a good thing depending where you are. I highly recommend it.

By Ethosian
It has a laminated blade, and the sharp material is sandwiched between other layers of stainless. I've had it around for months and never had the opportunity to use it, but last weekend on a hunting trip I decided to carry this knife because it is lighter and has a shorter sheath than my regular knife so it didn't bang things when I'm up in the tree stand trying to be quiet.I cannot adequately express how sharp this thing is. Sharper than razor sharp, and it is also very light weight. I swear, you just touch this thing against something and it is cut. I didn't get an opportunity to skin a deer with it yet, but I did have to trim some branches and cut some para-cord and fishing line, and it performed so nicely that I felt compelled to look back through 9 months of Amazon purchases to find it and give it this raving review (and I'm not much of a raving review king of person).On the negative side, it is not a "survival" knife which is what I mostly carry when I'm in the back country - I mean, you can't chop wood with it or use it as a pry bar, or use it as a hammer to break out an airplane window, but if you need to cut something, this thing will do the trick as well as any knife I've ever held. It also doesn't have a full tang the way I like - where the shaft of the knife continues full size through the handle and is sandwiched between two pieces of handle material. Instead, it has a slender shaft of metal that goes up through the wood handle and is secured at the butt of the knife.It's not a hammer or an axe or a pry bar, but it is a very nice knife that is sharper than any I've ever held, and the way the laminated blade is made, I expect it will retain an edge better than most.
