EF148 Fixed Blade Knife AUS-10 Steel Blade Micarta Handle Full Tang EDC Straight Knife for Hunting Camping Bushcraft

Fits in my hand well (I wear size large gloves), and has heft. It arrived with no edge on so I'll have to spend some time with that. Haven't determined how well it can be honed, but the AUS-10 steel is supposedly a mid-range, Japanese-origin material that takes an edge fairly well. The ABS-like sheath is also solid and should hold up in harsh conditions. Easy to quick holster or access the knife. The clip is adjustable to fit various widths of belts. You can press a button at the bottom of the clip to quickly release the sheath from your belt. You can rotate the clip by releasing a couple of screws to make it hang horizontally or at an angle. The grip is a hard type of composite that has enough texture to maintain a grip in wet environments. Its a heavy knife but seems like it could be used/abused in many different situations. I like the black version and it looks good from a presentation perspective. Haven't quite determined if I want this for my BOB or something where I would use it more often. Likely the latter, as it's too good to just sit around.

So this thing is exactly what it says, a big knife with great quality. The handles weren’t quite as refined as the ones in the photos, but I pulled the scales and massaged them with 400 wet/dry on the contours that weren’t quite there yet. The finish of the metal was perfect. The primary grind was perfect. Sharpened on a TSPROF kadet, and to my eye, the bevels were perfectly even. That said, it could have been sharper out of the box, but anyone besides a knife nerd would think it was fine. After sharpening it was shaving sharp. For being a brutish club of a knife, the almost flat grind of the blade made slicing much better than you would think. It’s technically a Sabre grind with just I tiny amount of flat right at the top, this made clamping it for sharpening a breeze. The sheath is a really nice Kydex with a great clip. Eafengrow had issues a couple years back, but the new owners have really made a strong effort to put quality in their knives. Give them a shot, I’m glad I did!

So far appears to be very good quality, very sturdy and well made, I personally like the kydex sheath I have no issues with it, my only problem is it came extremely dull out of the box I had to take it to an ace hardware to put a good edge on it, other than that good knife, if you’re like me and can’t justify 300 bucks for a Dawson or a bench made but still want something solid for camping/hunting then this is for you!

This may be the best knife I've ever owned. Strong, good heft, very sharp and perfect size. Great in every use.

This is a beast of a knife! It would be my go-to for survival. It arrived quickly and in good condition.

In practical usage, it reminds me of a Busse or even a WTG Carnivore in the way it handles and processes jobs, balance is nice but personally I would like a larger Palm swell towards the pommel with no more angle. But it chops very nicely, the grind is such to where it slices better than just brute batoning. A very nice large camp knife that you can use and feel good about. Very good sheath.

Very sturdy and sharp. A litttle heavy, but thats a plus. The case is great fit and it has a thumb stop that makes it easier to take the knife out of the case. Used it to chop some wood and it retained the sharpness and did really good. The handle was nice not slippery.

It’s a tough knife for sure if you like custom quality but don’t have the budget this knife is it. Wow! It’s just a great looking knife. Sheath is taco style but awesome. It won’t disappoint
