This is a big burly survival knife, it came super sharp and I've been impressed with it so far. I mostly use it as a self defense/ security blanket for when I go hiking by myself in cougar country, or to ward off would be bad guy hikers who would be interested in stealing my camera equipment, as such the handle has really taken a beating as I've squeezed through many a tight spots where the handle and sheath have been sandwiched between me and jagged rocks, so far, despite the abuse, the handle still looks brand new.

I have other knives I use when precision or weight are primary factors, but when I'm in survival mode, this is my go to knife. It's also really well priced, I got mine on sale for about 35 bucks, at that price I don't think it can be beat.

Good knife, sharp blade that holds an edge well. Pretty thick blade so you can pry with it, and not worry about breaking it. Kind of expensive on this site though.

Strong full tang fixed blade design, good edge holding capability, no nonsense straight grind edge (not the hollow grind edge which may be sharper at the beginning, but may easily get damaged when used for chopping firewood at the camp side).

Comfortable handle material which is still rather slip proof when wet.

The handle could be a little thicker and the sheath leaves something to be desired it could hold the knife better (that is why I am deducting one star), but hey it is a big well made knife for less than 50 $.

I've learned anything from Gerber is quality. This knife is a fixed full tang (meaning the steel to make the blade extends to the hilt) giving it a much stronger and durable design. The blade does not dull easily and can cut through ample sized wood. The price does not break the bank and your paying for a lifetime warranty. Great buy.

I love this thing. Its got a solid design with the stainless all the way through the handle. Its super sharp and holds a pretty good sharp blade with regular usage. Its great to have along when in the backcountry.

I bought this for my husband...in fact, I bought TWO of these for my husband because he wanted one in his car and one in our camping stuff. He absolutely loves them...I am not allowed to hold it, either because he is worried I will cut myself or scratch it. The first is definitely a possibility because the blade is super sharp. If your man likes camping and gear, he will love you forever for buying him one of these!
