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

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

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!

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.

*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 like the feel of it. The tang seems to be solid. Says 440C and so far it has had ok edge retention. Needed some sharpening when I first got it though. I took some .125" thick Aluminum flat bar and cut out a hand guard for it which works really well. I saw some other reviewer do the same thing and I thought it looked good. If you are thinking about doing it, it is pretty easy to screw off the bottom part of the handle and remove the parts for installation of a hand guard. I have had the knife for six months now and I haven't had any issues with this product so I think it was worth it, especially since it was so cheap to buy.

love the knife love the quality and the sharpness of it size is pretty good too

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.

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.

Amazing quality!

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.

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.

I bought it sometime before winter in northern Alberta Canada an used it properly rough and tough on it but that said it's still fragile ND I owned this for month at the least.needs to recognized that it's survival blade and you're not going to be smashing on wood and stone or even batoning.but with Sharp enough blade you carve up ah deadly feather stick or scrap ferroceuim rod for Sparks just use this in the proper manner and you'll save some money and maybe even your life. The blade carrier is cheap and you should invest in high quality sheath.
