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

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.

solid construction. great value. A solid amount of utility. high-quality design.

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, especially at this price point. 440C steel, no crossguard, fuller (blood groove) center of the blade both sides, and a Kraton-like grip. Very good edge out of the box, but with some work with the 1500, 2000, 3000 grit stones and then finish with a leather strop you can get it shaving sharp. Didn't take long either. These are made in Charkov, Ukraine (SLAVA UKRAINI!) and NOT China. They're touted as a camping/survival knife but their design is more of that of a 'stick it in the bad guy's spleen' type of knife. Comes with a decent black nylon sheath. At this price point, why not get two? Highly recommend!

*bought mine before the upgraded handle* I think I got mine for $13ish. I just wanted a cheap knife to "use and abuse" not expecting to receive a knife that went from "throw away" to "stow away". I was happy with the price before I got the knife and even happier after I got the knife. I know this isn't 'Excalibur' quality materials but I'm very pleased with what it is. My non-upgraded handle is still a great handle, I was never worried about slipping up and cutting my hand. For the knife, the weight and shape of the handle is just right for "centered" holding. I really like the dual blade style with the "drain" grooves, mine came a little rough but not enough to dissuade me from loving it. The blade material is sharp otb and is easy to give a quick sharpening to without having to use the full on sharpening kit. I like the serrated section, but imo the serration would be better if it was full length or close to full. As long as you're not trying to go "Rambo" with this knife or chopping trees down or tying to pry open everything possible then you have a very handy and useful knife. Great for most average household and camping tasks and some self defense, this is the knife for that. I just might have to buy another one now.

I've wanted to put a good blade made from decent steel in each of our three vehicles. But I didn't want to spend big bucks. I also didn't want to spend a bunch of time putting a decent edge on dull knives. This fit the bill very nicely! I got the first one, and ordered two more the next day.

Minus 1 star for saying it was "ultra sharp" and it was not. Im going to have to put it to a whetstone. It was sharp but not ultra sharp. Typical factory edge. Amd the quillon is also slightly loose so makes a clinking aound when you move the knife around. But I got it for 11.99 + tax so thats why it still gets 4 stars

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

Amazing quality!
