NedFossSurvival Knife with Fire Starter and Kydex Sheath, 9.25" Full Tang Fixed Blade Camping Knife with Sheath Horizontal & Vertical, Bushcraft Knife with G10 Handle for Outdoor, Hunting, Fishing

I use this as an IWC ( not recommended without training) with a Quick Clip Pro from amazon . Great size and heavier than most other but I love that about it. Sheath and knife fit well no rattle or movement, knife needs force to be pulled out so it is secure. It came sharp but since has needed sharpening, but every knife does after some use. This is a very good knife for the price.

Has good weight and balance, feels very sturdy, comfortable to hold, and super sharp right out of the box. Good quality knife

Impressive quality and amazing value. I have a modest variety of knives, from Fixed blades, folders, OTFs, and everything in between. This is one of the best all around blades. Solid construction, with a THICK spine and true full tang construction that extends through the handle. Textured nonslip grips are just the right balance between form and function. The over all size and blade geometry offers aggressive cutting performance while finer details like textured jimping on the thumb ramp and perfectly shaped finger choil offer a variety of practical and effective cutting positions for your hand. You can feel the heft and weight of the solid construction, well balanced so it’s not to forward (blade) heavy, with ample handle space to balance the blade. Even the kydex sheath exceeds expectations, tight and secure, no rattle, or modifications needed. And of course, the blade was sharp out the box. Combined with the built in fire starter in the kydex sheath, this is definitely a keeper for years to come.

EDIT: Long term update -7/11/23 - The knife still looks great, the sheath is amazingly strong and still looks and works as new. My striker is a bit worn after taking it camping several times, and yes it did start 2 or 3 of the fires, I just don't like the small burn marks it tends to leave on the softer blade. Speaking of that blade, I've used it to cut, and split wood without any issues at all Oo and I was ready for the thing to break on the first camp! It's so thick, that it kind of make sup for the blade softness, also, I can resharpen the blade easier than any of my other, more expensive knives. The wight alone helps a ton when it comes to stripping wood for kindling. I've used larger pieces of wood to hit the top of the blade and split larger pieces, no issues. I bumped it up to 4 stars because as much as I hate this metal, it seems to be working with this knife, and I don't quite understand why, but reality wins, it works. I was going to do a tip test, but at this point, I don't want to ruin it, because I like it, and it does everything I need it to do. The handle hasn't come loose, and the blade does not rust(It could be due to how I care for my knives, and not the metal itself). It's perfect for the occasional outdoor adventure, but if you go often, or go solo, I'd invest in a much more capable blade. I feel like I got great value from it, and have no complaints for the price. You get what you pay for sometimes, but once in a while you also get a great deal, and I'm fine with mine. Lastly, YES, this would absolutely be fine for emergency self defense. I wish I could have this exact knife, in a more durable high quality metal, but it seems to perform adequately, as is, when used for what it's made for. It looks great imo, but I imagine the price would triple as well...over all a solid 3.8/5, great value, and might last many years if cared for. Very solid, and capable camping, self defense knife(NOT SOLO SURVIVAL). Caveat: If you can't sharpen a blade properly, or aren't willing to learn, I would say look elsewhere.I love everything about it, it's the perfect weight, very sturdy construction. feels far more quality minded than the price would suggest. does not shake or rattle in it's Krylon sheath, it's very tight, may take a few rounds of in and outs to get it just right, that's to be expected. the blade comes razor sharp, and the handle is exactly what I wanted the handle to feel, full, grippy, and strong, not even a hint of looseness. The striker works like any other, scrape off the black carbon, and use it against the sharp right angles on any part of the knife(not the blade). The sparks are numerous, and very hot, requiring little effort to birth a flame. Looks are strikingly beautiful, whoever designed this should have a pat on the back. The Krylon sheth works on all 3 belts I tried, and feels like it will last, and is very secure...ok, now the BAD, just after opening the box, wiping it down, and making sure all was correct, I took a small fallen branch maybe 1.5" thick, and carved a point on it, used the striker to test it, and noticed later the blade had lost a good portion of its edge, I could have shaved with it before, now on the first paper cut test, it bends, and tears, instead of cuts. I was not aware of the qualities of the metal this is made of being more fit for kitchen use than survival! I've learned a bit since, and feel very foolish now. DO NOT BUY THIS KNIFE unless you can get it in a more adequate material, unless you just want a pretty knife to practice your sharpening skills on, that, I believe it would be perfect for. It's such a let down to feel I've found my perfect camping knife, to be crushed before i even get a chance to use it. extremely disappointed, but concerned about returning it, I spent 4-5 hours looking for knives, I now what's out there, and this is what I want! just NOT IN THIS METAL!!! ...oh btw, the striker handle doubles as a whistle, but is crudely carved, it may or may not work properly until trim the extra plastic off of it, it's also orange only with the orange handle knife, and black with the black one. (not as the picture shows)

This was one of the best birthday gifts and knives! It's beautifully crafted, has a good weight, and is very comfortable in the hand. And as a petite woman who leaves work late at night alone, I feel safe. In the same breath, it functions great when I'm enjoying the outdoors camping.

Best knife I've ever owned. Solid operation and smooth. Holds edge for a long time. Has good feel and wt. To it. Fast opening.

I very rarely write reviews, but I have to this time. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I was looking for a fixed blade knife with a kydex sheath. I'm tired of really great knives being a let down with their subpar cordura sheathes. They're cheap and garbage. This knife has a legit kydex sheath with a very solid snap when placed inside of it. Even comes with a Tek-Lok.Then there's the knife itself. I have Beckers, Kershaw's and Schrades to name a few. All are very respectable knives with good steel. This knife is not only beautiful to look at but more importantly the craftsmanship is top notch. The finish and grind is on point. The blade design is incredible and very aggressive. Also has great balance and comes razor sharpout of the box. The steel, while not 8cr13mov, is more than acceptable for routine tasks and will sharpen up easily. The finishing touch was the G10 scales. Absolutely an amazing knife for the price point. A must have for any knife collector.

Very happy with the value! The quality for the price exceeds my expectations. I like the adjustable belt clip also!
