Thread: Be ready for anything with this survival knife, sheath, whetstone and firesteel set

  1. #1

    Be ready for anything with this survival knife, sheath, whetstone and firesteel set


    The entire set is well crafted, with a thick blade reaching 4-3/4″. The grip is made of cocobolo wood and makes for an easy handle when cutting into tough surfaces.

    Wow I could not justifiy the price though. Too bad I like it.

    I'm not a fan of that handle either.

    I like wood especially coco bolo. That wood makes nice handgun grips too.

    They could have put some checkering on the grip for non slip. But the wood grain in coco bolo wood is nice.

    Knives are generally one of those things that you get what you pay for. I've bought a few knives in the $100 range and have never been disappointed with their quality.

It is treason against mankind to hold a knife to a man’s throat and dictate how he must live his life."

    I have never been disappointed with decent knives under $100. All of my Becker knives were under $100.

    My usual price point for a good (MY LIFE DEPENDS ON THIS KNIFE!!!!) is around $80 dollars or so. That does not mean cheaper knives are no good, but I can abuse (and I mean ABUSE) an expensive knife a lot loner before it fails.

    I was on Amazon this morning, and they had a BK2 for about $60. I almost bought another one.

    Checkering would help.

    My original CRKT M16, when it was new, was around $60-80 (been a few years) but they've dropped in price.

    My last SOG knife (I think it was SOG) was $100, but I've abused the crap out of it too. Used it for things like a pry bar and such that is not good for knives, but it is still strong and sharp.
