Tactical Survival Knife with Sheath – 6.5" Fixed Full Tang Blade, Serrated Edge – Hunting Knife with Non-Slip Rubber Handle – Heavy Duty Long Blade Knives for Camping, Self Defense, Military 2503

Great sale price made me go ahead and order one. Came very sharp and felt great in my hand & very tight overall. I love the handle feel, but I do worry about CH$#&%& rubber durability/quality over time. If it ever begins to deteriorate or smell strongly in the future, I'll wrap it with some tough flexible tape. Cheap but adequate nylon sheath. Don't plan to carry out to the woods and bang on wood or rocks with this. Just an affordable tacti-cool addition to a cheap collection.

There are a lot of pros and cons with this knife. First the pros, it seems well made. . The blade is a good quality steel, 440C. It is comfotable in the hand. No guard but that's ok. Handle is slip resistance rubber type material., rough to prevent slipping when wet. The edge is a good grind which is hard to do on a dagger type blade. The sharpness needs to be better and soon will be. The serrated section at the base of of the blade is about 1 1/2 in. long. For me this was a waste of time. These are generally very sharp out of the box. After the 1st couple of uses they dull and can never be resharpened to that factory edge. Now the cons. The sheath is worthless! Get a better one if you buy this knife. Kydex, leather, anything but this stuff. This nylon corduro makes good bags but terrible sheaths. The knife is handle heavy, not a very good balance. It is advertised as a " survival " knife. It is not that. I would call this a combat/ fighting knife. A survival knife is designed to handle anything in the wild. It has to be tough, strong and capable of handling abuse. This one won't do that. Kabar Marine Corp knife is what I consider a great survival knife, the Cold Steel SRK is a great survival knife. This one doesn't even come close to those. A dagger point like this is aways a weak point on a knife. It will snap off. The hardness of the blade is listed at 60. That's a very high hardness making the blade subject to chipping or breaking. But overall for the price this isn't a bad knife. Just don't take this into a survival situation.

There is no finger guard so when stabbing, one must not grip the knife in a way that could slice your fingers if your hand slips forward. You must have your thumb over the bottom.... pommel. The knife is double edged,it was almost dhaving right out of the box. I will use my worksharp field sharpener and strop to dial it in. i caught this knife on sale for half price so I feel that I got a great deal! The design is made for one thing, and I hope I never have to use it. It will stay at the ready,just in case I need it. I won't use it for un intended purposes. I will buy more to gift my family members

Ordered it because I was curious about the double edge. It's decent quality, especially for the price. It's a sub $15 so obviously isn't going to be super high quality. Wasn't sharp out the box, most knives aren't super sharp but are at least working sharp out of the package. Not this one, it was pretty dull. Not a big deal though, a few passes on each side on a ceramic rod got it pretty sharp. Haven't used it much but it feels pretty nice in the hand, is reasonably light, decently balanced, but still seems sturdy enough for all but very heavy duty cutting tasks. Can't speak to edge retention but IF it's actually 440C it should be pretty good. Given the price and country of manufacture I'm skeptical it's actually 440C, 9CR or 8CR seem more likely but who knows? Time will tell how it holds up. Almost forgot, as others have mentioned a guard would be nice. If you wanted to it shouldn't be too hard to add one. You can find them pre-made online for as low $5-$10. If you have the proper tools you could also just get a flat piece of metal (brass, aluminum, whatever you want really) and make one yourself and it'd probably only cost a few bucks.

Excellent knife one of my favorites and I own several hundred blades Not a beginners blade Came with an excellent edge which is worth the extra couple dollars Know your state laws it’s not legal as am everyday carry in some states

I don't think you could get a better knife for this price. Seems well made, not too heavy, just right. Has a pretty sharp edge, but not sharp enough. It was easy to put a nice edge on it. Feels good in the hand, well balanced. The sheath is kinda cheap, but does the job. Has a nice length. No regrets in buying this knife.

Not very durable but then again, it's low cost. Guardless style is very unusual, and really makes it easy to cut yourself. It is truly double edged. The option to customize is cool. Hey -15 bucks? OK, yeah, it's not gonna be awesome. Grip area is rubbery grippy. Sheath is weak but, again, 15 bucks... A cheap dagger that will sharpen reasonably. Not for prying or hammering at all or It Will Break For Sure. Three stars only cause it's a low quality knife. Mora manages to make a world class 15 dollar knife so this one is a three star. Get it cause it's cool and unusual but not because it's any good.

Marvelous knife! Balance is great and it feels great in your hand. Blade is reasonably sharp right out of the box. Engraving is top notch, and really beautiful. Had to order two so I could gift one to the school’s chef instructor and keep one.

I was pleasantly surprised with this knife. The only negative I have to say about it was that with any decent use in the woods the metal pummel at the bottom of the handle snapped off causing it to fall apart. The knife came razor sharp and the handle was a great feeling. With the sedation it was a perfect camp and diving knife. The clasp on the sheath did come off unfortunately, and when I dropped the knife the metal disc snapped off but otherwise I was greatly pleased with it. Enough that I plan on buying a second one when able to.

My husband purchased this knife and gave it to me so I'd have something to protect myself with while he worked overnight shifts. This knife is solid, sturdy and seems to be very well made. It has a good balanced weight and feels good in my hand. I am an older disabled woman with smaller but square hands. My husband has large strong hands and we both like the feel of this knife. It's very manageable but I feel it would be the intimidation needed should the situation arise.

Overall a great product but the GW logo on the sheath was poorly sewn and had to be cut off after only a couple times worn. Blade is great so makes up for it.

Best knife! Very sharp rigid perfectly weighted. Gorgeous. The handle is comfy as well would reccomend
