Mine doesn't seem to break. Even when smacking it against hard objects. Guess the KA-BAR fanboys hate to $10 knife. It's got a lifetime guarantee anyway so if it broke you could get another one. If it breaks to much use it to cut a steak or something.
Buy mora their like $12 and super sharp. I have one and It sucks ass. I spent an hour trying to sharpen it and it still takes 10 strokes to cut through fishing line.
Don't ever say never, cold steel makes a hollow handle knife that would be very hard to break, LOL. But it is not you typical hollow handle knife. Gerber if I remember made a hollow handle knife that an old SF friend use to carry, but what do they know, seriously what do they know, LOL.
@mwillblade It's not that we're criticizing him. You and me both know the truth about hollow handle survival knives. It's this kid's life we're talking about.
some people like to, i did, but that was on my old account, lol i make a video of my 9$ knife i got from lowes, a 3 icnh blade, i buy cheap knives kuz i beat the hell out of them, cutting plexi glass, 2 inch carbboard, even staples ahaha
its a piece of shit...the sheath will rip...and it even has blade play......and its a FIXED blade knife.....but very cheap....its a beater for me lol......
This knife is fine for playing around with by the campfire but that's about it. It's small and not very well made. If you want a good hunting/camping knife, your better off with a K-bar type military knife. The Rambo knife's are just not what they seem to be...
I dont know what your talkin about. This is a good knife and it is a survival knife thats why it has a hollow handle!! DUHHHHHHHHH!!!
CmsUnknown95 do not believe any of the other reviews that say this a bad knife because they are just jealous and i got the same knife today and it is GREAT!!!
hollow handles just weaken the overall structure of the knife and you could probably carry more supplies in your pockets.
a single lighter can start MANY more fires than a comparative volume of matches (wet or windy day, what happens?)
finally, stainless steel will NEVER hold an edge like high-carbon steel. stainless is rust resistant, but, if you treat a carbon-steel knife with the proper respect that shouldn't be an issue.
You wanna know why the handle is hollow? It's because the company is so cheap (on knives not 4x4 rigs) they decided to save money by not putting plastic where they don't think it is needed. Unfortunetly the plastic is needed because whithout it your going to take one good fall on it and it will shatter.
actually the manufacturing cost of an empty handel w/ cap threads is more than a full plastic handel! its matter of design and functionality not money...
I see what you mean with the handle being more expensive since it is hollow and has to be threaded, but what I'm talking about is the company cut cost by not using as much steel in the overall design. By making it a full tang knife it would use more steel thus in my thinking costing more. Bot your point still makes perfect sense.
few pointers... get rid of the matches and get a small bic lighter... the compass in the base of the knife tends to go bad easy fyi so dont rely on those... you should wrap the sheath in para chord, para chord has a million uses.
...or just get a better knife. hollow handles just make the knife weaker and they don't hold much. you would do better to get a real knife and stuff your pockets with the important supplies.
few pointers... get rid of the matches and get a small bic lighter... the compass in the base of the knife tends to go bad easy fyi so dont rely on those... you should wrap the sheath in para chord, para chord has a million uses.
Get a Frost Mora Clipper or Classic, High Carbon steel. Don't waste your money on stainless, unless you just like a pretty looking knife. Good Video though.
i teach wilderness survival at the university of environmental science and forestry and trust me, dont buy survival knives they are useless. go for the 15$ mora at ragweed forge. I use it all the time. good carbon steel, full tang, single bevel, and so inexpensive that if you lose it you can buy another
Ka-Bar like the Bull Dozer one is well good for stabbing ppl but made of stainless steel. if i had to pic up survival knife i would put my money on kukri. and high carbon one.. havent failed me so far when i'v whacked couple rocks and all that sort of stuff. now ppl thinks that "u silly boy ur ruining your blade and learn how to use it!" nope, it's a tool as anyother so i use it on multiple sitsuations digging, cutting, eating, etc.
If you're the kind of person that will go out in the wilderness with that thing I doubt you're going to get yourself into a situation where you need to use it
ya i know its not the greatest... but it gets the job done. A kbar is literly the best knife in the world so im not disagreeing with you on that. This knife is just for messing with, remember i got it at joes for 15$ lol
Actually a Kbar is not the best knife in the world lol they are double beveled for a razor sharp knife you need a single bevel trust me i have several bushcraft knives for best results single bevel and high carbon steel about 59 on the rockwell scale is gd
Actually double bevel is good for general purpose knives. i.e. survival where its good for everything but not the best at everything. Whereas single bevel is excellent at carving.
Basically any knife that is sharp will shave hair. I bought a cheap knife to show the difference between a good and bad knife. And it was easy to get both shaving sharp. The thing with grinds is not how sharp you can get it (though it matters) but how it holds up. So single bevel isnt great for chopping but its great for slicing.
how the hell did a 12 year old get a knife? A shitty one at that? Go for the kershaw Kbar or the cold steel. something cheap but also something that you can put through hell and bring it back in a usable condition.
what a piece of junk kid. Carbin steel is the way to go, easy to sharpen and tough as nails. All you really need is a 4 inch blade with a tang that runs the length of the handle. Any good woodsman will tell you the same.
You should look into a KaBar USMC knife, man. It's definitely the best balance between quality and price. They usually run about $45-$50. They're tough as hell, but if you lose it or somehow manage to break it(which is damn near impossible), you won't be totally crushed over it like you would be if it were a $200 knife.
if ur gonna get a survival knife get 1 like mine i got a late model 6inch carbon steel coldsteel srk survival knife and obout 5 other knives if i hade i cam i would show u
seriosly tho if your gonna get a survival knife atleast get a well known brand thats trustworthy and 10 bucks thats not good and 420 stainless steeel is the same as regular steel
sorry to say thats not a survival knife thats a match case... a good fixed blade knife always has a full tang which is a metal tung going threw the handle..cheap knives only go about an inch into the handle horrible knives dont have one at all if the handle breaks off you dont have a useable knife anymore..
Mine doesn't seem to break. Even when smacking it against hard objects. Guess the KA-BAR fanboys hate to $10 knife. It's got a lifetime guarantee anyway so if it broke you could get another one. If it breaks to much use it to cut a steak or something.

why do you bother carrying a knife like that?
