DC53 Steel 38CM (15.2IN) Full Tang 6mm Thick Fixed Knife+Sheath&(5.9IN) Cerium Igniter, Suitable for Outdoor Hunting, Camping, Survival Exploration, EDC

For the money definitely a hard choice to beat. It’s well built and doesn’t feel like a cheap chinese stamp with low grade wood grip nor does it look like it. Mine arrived quickly and was well sealed it had a small amount of oil that wiped right off, not sure if the dry climate was to blame but the wood pieces were fit very nicely no gaps anywhere on the knife. Only dig was the blockiness of the front portion on the grips definitely could use a bit of sanding there but overall nothing that impeded the comfort and functionality of the knife. As for the size this is a big knife however the weight is well within controllable and for the thickness it is actually pretty reasonable. When it comes to the sheath yes I’ve seen nicer but for the price point and the knife quality I’ll take the solid stitching and thickness of the leather it’ll hold up fine for most any use. The steel is not something I have any experience with but after using this knife I can say that it holds up great. My edge had no difference from the box to cutting through branches this thing was great it stayed shave sharp with no damage to the finish. I’ve had a good bit of large bladed knives this is now one of my favorites to throw in a bag or keep in a vehicle, after putting it through my test it seems to hold up to abuse and at the same time it’s a good price point to not stress about it. I haven’t heard of the company or seen much information on them which gave me some hesitation at first but this is definitely a knife; I’d recommend buying if you’re looking for a good large thick blade or like me just interested in the BA-KOR products.

I purchased two of these when they were on sale, but even today they are priced at $39 - which is a bargain.The knife is built like a tank, very thick DC53 stock with a good factory edge. Suitable for a camp chopper, perhaps more. The pommel is exposed and ridged so that it can be used as an improvised hammer, and the handle scales are large and fit the hand well. I’ll know more about any blockiness on the scales after I whack on it for awhile. The spine has sectional jimping for different choke up grips, but also for scraping. While the included ferro rod comes with a striker, I’ll be curious if the spine has enough edging to strike on its own. It would have been nice to have something incorporated into the sheath to include the rod and striker, perhaps a loop or pocket.The sheath seems ok, it’s not a premium grade like I have seen on Cudeman or Jeo- Tec, but this is not a $100 plus knife. The retention strap seems solid.I’ve said this about their other models, but I’m not a big fan of the Miller Bros. induced blade treatment. However, that should not take away from the fact that this is a really good knife for the price. AA++

All I could say when I opened the Box is wow. You will not break this batoning firewood.Very Sharp very heavy. Don't like the sheath that much don't like the wood handles that much but I think it's close enough to a Becker to customize a pair of Becker scales to fit on it maybe I'll burn that silly pattern off the blade. It's pretty fantastic the way it is though. I can't wait till Americans are building these in America I will buy tons of them

If you were hesitant like me, take my advice and jump on this while it's on saleExcellent item. Was on my list but was hesitant. Watched some reviews that finally came out on this and jumped on the sale. The reviews were spot on and this is an excellent tool. I chopped down a smallish black walnut tree and that was fun. No damage to this tools edge, still paper cutting sharp. Excellent. Blade is thick and heavy and has a nice attitude adjuster on the handle.I don't care for the sheath, but it is a nice fancy one. I prefer being able to attach the sheath to my belt, while wearing my belt, also for a knife this size I would prefer a dangler and if moving around a lot a strap for my leg.I would like to find a kydex sheath for this.

Built to last, came very sharp and packaged well. This knife is a great survival knife that will be instrumental in shelter building or firewood gathering. Large knife just like I used while serving as a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. I can’t overemphasize the importance of carrying a great knife when you’re working in a job that could potentially result in placing you in a survival situation. I taught Land and Sea survival as part of my job responsibilities while serving as a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. I always pointed out, to all Aviators on the importance of having survival gear on your person. As the potential for emergency egress dictates what you will have with you for your survival after a crash or ditching. Many survival experts recommend that you keep important survival tools with you like a great knife and fire starting equipment.I have always favored a large knife as you can do everything you need with it large blade but you can’t do everything a large knife can do with a small knife.Great knife at excellent price.ASTCM Retired

GREAT KNIFE!! T.H.I.C.C. !!! not the most comfortable handle in the world but nothing a little sand paper can't change. A very worthy BK-9 sidekick. Very pleasantly surprised.

Very solid knife and sheath. Hard to beat for the money.

Awesome knife. Very hefty and solid.
