SZCO Full Tang Hunting Knife 8 Inch - Classic Patch Camping Knife with Burlwood Handle, Stainless Steel Blade & Sheath - Brown Pocket Knife for Hunting, Cutting & Outdoor uses - Knives for Men

Alright, so it's a $10 Pakistani knife. Adjust your expectations accordingly. I think it's pretty awesome for the money. It's got a Kephart vibe. A solid, sexy lookin' hunk of steel. As others have mentioned, the leather sheath alone would likely cost more than the knife/sheath combo your looking at here. It's (the sheath) super nice - thick and well-stitched. As for the pretty handle (which caught my eye immediately in the pictures), it has a few minor imperfections, but nothing that can't be easily corrected with a little sandpaper and steel wool. A couple of the small diameter brass pins on either side protrude a bit, but hardly enough to complain. Believe it when others tell you that this blade will come to you completely and totally dull. Wow. It took some time to get this up to snuff, but it did take an edge. In fact, I got it pretty dang sharp. As to whether it will retain that level of sharpness after a few tasks has yet to be seen. Just buy the thing. For less than a fast food value meal, you'll get a decent knife and an even more decent leather sheath. See it as an opportunity to learn how to sharpen a blade. Buy it for a kid, keep it in your vehicle, or use it as a tool box/beater knife.

Fit was excellent. Sheath sturdy and very well constructed with no dingle balls hanging off it. Blade symmetrical but dull (don't buy a knife if you don't know how to sharpen it). I did notice a small crack in the handle after my review, but it seems minor and if it ever breaks, I will just epoxy it back together. Knife fits very snugly into the sheath, no worries it will fall out. The belt loop seems a bit thin, but is apparently strong enough to last and double stitched to the sheath. I wear GI issue web belts and that is about as large a belt as the loop will accomodate. I think it will hold up. It easily strikes a spark from a ferro rod. Will update review after I have sharpened and used it. Ordered a second one just to see if they are consistent and will toss it in the glove compartment of my car if it is close to the quality of the first one. It will make an adequate and inexpensive emergency knife. UPDATE: Second knife - The second knife had some familiar issues if you read other reviews. First the good, though. The fit of scales was excellent as was the condition of the scales. Knife shiny, no rust or pitting. Now the bad. All four of the small pins on the haft were sticking up. I think I am going to have to file them flush with the scales. The large pins were fine. Knife was not sharp and the edge had one spot that was not even with the rest of the edge but only on one side. It is bad enough that I will need to re-profile the edge to clean it up. If this knife cost over $30, I would be very unhappy. Since is cost $10, I may keep it or exchange it and see if my luck is better with another knife. Undecided at this point. The sheath on the second knife was just like the sheath on the first knife. No issues. UPDATE TWO: In the end I decided to return the knife to see what I got the third time. The return process was super easy. Two of the return options were to just drop the knife off at a UPS or other store, no packing required. I picked that option. I had my third knife in two days. The small pins were still raised on the third knife, but a couple were flush on one side. The grind on the blade was perfect and this one was actually sharp. The fit of the scales was slightly worse on the third knife as i can see a tiny bit of the haft of the blade for about an inch on one side of the scales, but can't really feel it unless I run my fingernail over it. I may wrap the scales of both good knives with friction tape anyway. The sheath for the third knife is pretty much identical to the first sheath. The second sheath was a bit thinner. CONCLUSION: I feel that these knives are a steal and if there are issues, they are super easy to return. Still recommended. Will do an update after using both knives. Still wondering why there is a California Cancer Warning label on the box of all three knives. i suspect it has something to do with chemicals used in processing the sheath. I got no answer to this my question about this.

I am not and expert but I collect and own hundreds of knives. This is an honest no frills EDC knfe from Pakistan. It is not supposed to be a perfect drop point but it is the most common/utiltarian of the major blade shapes. I softened the sheath with Neatsfoot oil and polished the knife and sheath (after 24hrs) with Renaissance wax. It has steel that can be easily shapened in the field and that is the requirement for a survival knife.

The knife itself is sturdy and strongly made, not a work of art, which is how I like my knives because I’m going to use them, not hang them on the wall or put them in a glass case. I like the feel and the heft, and the drop point is perfect. The sheath is kinda sorta ok, but not as strongly made as the knife. The leather is a little thin and the filler strip (that keeps you from cutting the threads) is not leather at all, but some kind of rubber. For me, that’s ok, as I plan to make a sheath to suit that hangs lower and covers more of the handle. To sum up, if you need a solid workman’s knife that will give you good service for a reasonable price, this is it.

I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for an inexpensive, Kephart-style utility knife that is equally useful in the woods, a camp kitchen, the garden or in your shop. The construction is nice and solid and the high carbon stainless steel is easy to sharpen. Though the knife came sharp out the box, the edge was a little uneven, so I had to rework it for a few minutes on my diamond stone. My only qualm with this knife was that it didn't fit in the leather sheath that it came with because the opening was too narrow to accommodate the knife handle. Solution: I had to open the top leather stitches and cut out a small piece of the black foam that holds the sheath together (see picture on the left.) All that aside, I'm really happy with the knife and am enjoying using it for diverse jobs. This really is a great value purchase if you like rustic, historic style knives. Recomended.

Very pleased. Knife was exactly as described and pictured. See Amazon advertisement for best info. Great for a beater or camp knife. Great basic gift to any guy who spends time outdoors. Great price. You would not feel bad to use it hard, to the point of abusing it. Was sharp upon arrival. If you hog or predator hunt actively, buy several at the current price and give away to others.

Do not buy this if you don’t know how to sharpen a knife. It came uselessly dull. Craftsmanship is about a 5 of 10. I spent some time sharpening it, and its razor sharp now. I also sanded down the handles sharp edges. It’s nice now, but I won’t recommend it or buy another one.

I'll start by saying yes it's worth the cost, and then some. You have to consider cost when something literally cost the same as a Happy meal, but this is still a great knife. Things I like far outway the bad but here they are: It's got a great little sheath for the money, seems to hold up but time will tell. I love the profile and thickness of blade. To not make this too long the only bad is the grind, sheath height, QC. The grind was so off it took me an hour of profiling to get a 25° angle on this. Steel isn't the strongest, it will need comstant sharpening if your doing "Bushcraft" with it. The blade rides high on your side (see pic) which could cause interference with movement. Overall I'm very happy with the blade and I did abuse it yesterday quite a bit and it never broke. Decent knife

Das Messer ist leider ziemlich schludrig verarbeitet. Handmade in Pakistan hin oder her, aber für ca. 20 Euro sollten die Maße trotzdem halbwegs stimmen. Insgesamt macht es eher den Eindruck eines missglückten DIY-Projektes, auf das man am Ende selbst nicht sehr stolz ist. Die mitgelieferte Messerscheide wirkte dagegen solide verarbeitet, das Messer sitzt darin schön straff. Fraglich ist aber, ob die aus echtem Leder ist. Dass das Messer bereits aus der simplen Papier-Box heraus keine ordentliche Grundschärfe mitbringt, ließe sich mit etwas Geschick am Bandschleifer noch nacharbeiten und wäre akzeptabel gewesen. Aber die axial nach links gekrümmte Klinge und die vom Erl abstehende Griffschale (siehe Fotos) waren für mich dann doch etwas zu viel des Schlechten. Das Messer geht wieder zurück.

Not the best quality steel, needed to be sharpened badly but a nice piece for the price

Vi os comentários sobre a faca: uns positivos e outros negativos. Quanto a faca que eu recebi não vi problemas, considerando também o custo/benefício para mim ela é muito boa. Talvez as pessoas que não gostaram entendam muito de facas.

Great knife, ordered two, one had the cutting edge perfectly centered and the second had an off set cutting edge. Nonetheless, still great knives for the price, used them to skin and cut up a moose and still have a good edge

Comprei mais para ter uma faca paquistanesa. Sei que é rústica, um pouco mal acabada. ( por produzirem muitas para compensar o valor). Achei que pelo menos deveria vir amolada. Nada que não possa ser resolvido com uma pedra 400 e um pedaço de couro.
