J. Adams Sheffield England MOD Pattern Survival Knife

Like the ones issued to us back in the day

Mine came as a new knife. These are big,thick knives. With care it should last forever.

This must have been a display tang and was coated in high gloss I have another from years ago no gloss and have not seen any others like this

Yes it's heavy after awhile of carry but this knife will get the job done with no worries. Yes you might have to put a sharp edge to it. But it is carbon. Once sharp don't touch. I had 2 when I lived in U.K. Now I have another one. And won't get rid of this one.

super heavy super thick , but the excellent handle design of rock solid tough material (entire knife is rock solid / tough) gives you a real good grip on it to manuever that heavy weight . that said when you read people say this is a pry bar with an edge thats what this is , its a great all around camp tool that you carry in your pack for outdoor adventures while also carrying a smaller knife for cutting because you chop / dig / scrape / pry / hammer with this but only cut or chop heavy stuff like rope or twigs with it . i really like it and might give it a 5 after i take one through rough usage , but it aint a knife its a camp / survival tool to be carried in pack because its too heavy to wear on belt unless your just sitting around a camp site . the sheaths thin and wont last long . the down side on my knife is theres a small spot weld on each side of tang and one of my welds (only a tiny 3/16 spot weld) was cracked all the way through upon delivery , didnt make the guard loose and im not sure if the crack would have ever loosend guard but it put it in question . so returned knife to knife country in un-used brand new shape in all original packaging and was still deducted 13$ for shipping on an item i recieved flawed . so be aware of that policy if dealing with them as they charged me shipping on a flawed item .
