the tube inside the handle i threw away tho i saved the morsecode list. i put some steelwire, matches inside a vinyl-glove finger and some spikes to attach the blade IF it would fall of the handle som day. I also took two small rubberbands at the bottom of the blade under the knucklecover so the blade is totaly stable and secure
If you do these small modifications IS a great frekkin knife! I compare other knifes in stores to this knife when i want to buy new knives
i bought this knife about 5 months ago, i was SCEPTIC but after taking it to the woods and chopped down some trees and bulit a shelter, chopped some firewood i realised it was a good quality knife!
Tho the items that following SUCK! i´ve replaced everything with some rope, matches, firesteel ect.
@emmy6423 if you spend 'alot' of time in the bush.. you wouldnt need to ask this. anyone who does bushcraft knows. knives that contains shit in the handle is a very weak blade and will break at the handle. you need a full tang carbon steel blade for bushcraft.....
these are made of 420 j2 steel i think ...its another term for crappy steel. the last good knife united made were the navy seal knives in ats-34 years ago and those were not worth the money they wanted for them. if you want a survival knife that is worth a damn and dontt wanna spend a mint get a mora or a cs bushman . carbon steel is the way to go 75% of stainless is garbage
No offense but this guy sounds like Alfred Hitchcock.Good e-ven-ing heah's anotha knife reavuuw fouh all you chaps hahaha.Really this knife is ugly but sometimes that's good because you care less when it gets beat up.I have the M48KommandoBowie,M48Kommando dagger and the survival negotiator spear tip by United Cutlery and they're pretty good knives;no Case or Buck for sure but as far as the imported inexpensive crap goes I would prefer this brand over most others.
@emmy6423 i have owned this knife for 2 years, and the funny thing is that in my experience its taken a MASSIVE beating. im gonna be honest and just say that my friends got drunk one night while camping and made a video of them trying to chop a brick in half with it..... the blade had only a small chip in it that i was able to buff out with a rough stone. it now has a razor edge again and is my go-to camping knife. i did have to glue the compass in place as it was falling out alot.
@gbrinfo yes the log will have no damages :D haha get the knife, and try it out. use a hatchet for choping ,every knife will get damaged by that kinda use so that was a trick question.
if you saved the $60 it cost for the knife and maybe just doubled that you could of got a nice blade that would last and be useful. The sheath has lots of pockets so if your unfortunate enough to loose the knife you just lost your survival kit, or vice versa.. how thoughtful. Plus its not full tang so if you dont manage to just snap the blade sometime it will probably break off at the handle sooner or later. Meh save your money.the first 4 random knifes at UC were all rip off's of over blades!
with all the pockets on the sheath, it's kind of dumb that they made it with a hollow handle. they could have just put the stuff in the pockets and made it a REAL knife by keeping a full tang. also how thick is the blade, i would never trust a stainless steel blade that long and large if it was under a quarter inch thick. it is a good video though, no disrespect to you just a dislike of the rambo type blades.
I wouldnt worry to much about the quality...and while im no fan of those ridiculous teeth on the spine of the blade, it should hold up just fine.. Taiwan manufactured knives are better fit and finish then pretty much anything coming out of China..Approaching Japanese quality. I own a Browning Crowell / Barker knife, nice even full flat grinds, micarta handles, awesome blade and its made in Taiwan.. My Ontario Rat 1 folder,Boker Los Banos and CRKT Hissatsu folder are all manufactured in Taiwan.
If Chris Reeves failed in making a strong screw tang or no tang fixed blade then i highly doubt that thing could be used outside of a paper bag never mind ''in the bush'' as you so comical put..
sorry to be a Ass but i do spend a lot of time depending upon good tools.
W'P thats a p52 tin opener, and your right those wire saws are ok if you use sticks for handles or para cord..
in my opinion u should never use a 440 or 420 stainless blade for a survival or bush knife there too hard to sharpen and there not as tough a good high carbon blade like 1050 or higher
probably Not, there are better knives out there, this is a good fun nife, got some good gear in it though, maybe you could try this knife, but alksoi take a good back knife with you just incase.
I have the same knife but ive had it for years.....mine doesnt have alot of it as yours.....i dont have a compass or magnifying glass.... plus some other stuff....its a great knife to have.
My parents actually gave one of these to me as a present on my 14th B-day...I know! But they trusted me with such things, and I managed to keep all my fingers so it was all good.. Well Im 32 now,and still have it! I lost most of the "survival gear" years ago. The blade is held by a single role pin and loosened with use. I fixed the problem by bending the top of the handguard so as to apply tension to the spine of the blade. That seemed to do the trick. It now resides in my old knife box..
420 steel is not the best for a survival knife, especially a knife without a full tang. the saw on the back is terribly notched, probly would snag too much while sawing. the compass on knives generally get thrown off by the knife if you use it while still attached. basically, any knife with a hollowed out handle is not going to perform well, bring a sack for those extra items/fill your pockets, buy a quality knife. you can get a pretty decent blade for the same price as one of these or less.
Hey, nice I am a fan of the D cover on the grip that makes it look nice. All my good knives are up in queensland at my brothers, His stone sharpener machine has a bigger opening so it puts more of an edge on it, so when I drove up there I took all my filleting and fishing knives and my novelty knives, I had about 8 of them, and I had one with a black blade so in the bush if its sunny it doesnt reflect and let everyone know where you are. I am about to upload some of my cheap/crap knives.
Nice knife Mike the blade reminds me of one of the rambo knifes used in the film,oh and u real get a nice survival knife for 35 pounds with a huge kit to boot ,5* as usual ,very huge blade ya!!! i love it :D
i nearly trot on an adder (maybe a grass snake lol )once down formosa, very rare to see either really , did,nt i tell you ?. self locking snare is what its called , anyway ,great vid mike .
