GCS Handmade D2 Tool Steel Custom Survival Hunting Skinning Camping Knife with Brown Leather Right Hand Front Cross Draw Fixed Blade Knife Sheath GCS264 (Camel Bone Handle)

Very well-made it’s a nice size and good quality for the price

This is a high-quality and durable knife. The D2 tool steel is strong and has the ability to hold an edge, which makes it suitable for survival, hunting, skinning, and camping activities. The brown leather right hand front cross draw fixed blade knife sheath is a classic and practical touch but honestly i dont like the way the knife sits in the sheath. It goes all the way down, is difficultnto pull out and the knife actually cut through the sheath. But if you're in need of a reliable and versatile knife for outdoor adventures, this one might be worth considering!

Very well made knife. Full tang, blade thick enough to withstand some abuse. Just the right size to carry on one's belt without getting in the way as would a larger knife. (This is not a knife I would use for hunting. I consider it too small for the job of gutting/skinning large game. The handle is too small for a blood-slick hand.)I dropped one star in the rating because the knife isn't very sharp and the bevel that does exist is too steep. It's going to take me a couple of hours on various stones to get the edge where it should be.The sheath is sort of silly. The straps and snaps used to carry the knife in the horizontal position increases the bulk resulting in quite a bulge that tends to get in the way. (I cut those particular straps off and wear the knife in the typical vertical position.) The sewing is not properly done. The tension of the thread while sewing was not correct so the loop system is outside of the leather exposing the thread to premature wear and tear. I anticipate having to re-sew it in the future.Overall this is a good knife, well made, and worth the money I spent, but purchasing the knife may result in the buyer having to lay a new cutting edge.

This small belt knife suits my every day carry needs. The blade is 2 13/16” long, 2 3/16” sharpened with a hollow grind and it’s razor sharp. The way it feels in my hand I’d buy it again. Matter of fact I have given away the knife I was using.UPDATE: the knife is still doing its job. The steel is holding up, not going dull at all. Stropping the edge once in awhile is enough to keep it tuned up.The sheath needed attention. The stitching on the vertical belt loop ripped out. I fastened it back down with a Chicago screw. I put a leather lace through the loop also. It holds the sheath next to the belt loop. The horizontal belt loop that came on the sheath was useless. I cut it off and threw it away!If for some reason I lost this knife I'd buy another one!

I bought this knife because it looked cool and that's pretty much what I paid for. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty sharp and is solid enough for the price but you WILL BE LET DOWN by the craftsmanship quality. Mine had a similar design but was not like the picture. The "filing" cut outs on the top are poorly done and are very uneven, I assume GCS has poor quality control due to their craftsmanship. You're getting what are paying for.

It came very sharp. Looks and feels good in your hand. I put some leather conditioner on the sheath to make it more supple and it worked great. Holds a decent edge and sharpens quickly. One drawback is that the sheath is stitched and when the knife is pushed deeper into the sheath, it cuts the threading. I'm working on a solution and will happily continue to carry this knife.

Really pretty, fun knife. Terrible steel. The blade started to curl sharpening my pencil, and bent trying to pry off a 3” piece of baseboard. Really cool design I wish it would hold up.Definitely not for camping or survival. The blade wouldn’t have lasted sharpening a marshmallow stick

Very Impressed! The workmanship, the quality materials, the razor sharp D2 tool steel blade, the aesthetics, the sheath & the price quickly made this knife a favorite in my collection!!
