KHU Fixed Blade Knife Tactical, Hunting Knife EDC knife Survival 440C Steel Nylon Plastic Handle, Outdoor Hunting Camping Accessories Camping Gear With Kydex Sheath - 28A

Good knife; cool & comfortable design made of a decent low budget steel in 440C; it’s a little heavy; good for moderate tasks.

This knife is very sharp, heavy, and sturdily-built.

Fair warning, this review got way longer than I intended, as I am a bit of a knife geek and went further in depth than I expected from the onset.Bought this for mounting on a plate carrier, as pictured. Threw this rig together and, as is my SOP, wanted a do-all field knife/fighting knife mounted oh here, but didn't want to pay current prices for my go-to favorite (gerber strong arm). Settled on this for the simple fact it meets my specs and roughly emulates the Benchmade Nimravus Tanto, so I was curious. My requirements were as follows:-420HC steel, same as strongarm-non-Serrated blade-shaped so as to be usable in multiple grip styles-durable enough to take to war, versatile enough design to accomplish any cutting tasks one may encounter in such a scenario.Was going to do a torture test before mounting, particularly tip retention testing, but upon opening of package I instantly knew that shouldn't be necessary. This thing is BEEFY. Plenty of steel behind the tip, and it's 420HC so should be pretty tough even if that weren't the case (which is the reason for my steel choice, given my use context. May need sharpened more often than other steels, but I'll take a faster dulling blade over one that I gotta worry about snapping).Interestingly, the secondary bevel is exactly as pictured in product listing. They did thin the blade some with a primary bevel, but left it very thick behind the edge. What you wind up with is an odd inbetween style of edge geometry that resembles a shorter Scandi grind. Should work awesome for my purposes, but you should be aware this is not going to excel at food processing or other finer work. It did come hair-popping sharp out of the box, so that's a plus. Grind appears very consistent as well. Facets, plunge lines, and edge itself all appear to be very straight, even, and meet up with eachother very well, definitely MUCH better than most budget knives I've handled, so kudos to the manufacturer there.Handle design is overall good, with 2 exceptions outlined below. I wear size large gloves and handle fits my hand lengthwise very well. There's sufficient front quillion and butt swell that it should prevent slippage, which is especially important for a fighting knife. However the front quillion is not designed in such a way it impedes choking up and using ricasso/finger choil for finer work.My only true complaints are as follows:- the handle scales are too thick, making the handle cross section very round (see pictures for measurements). I'll likely either thin out the stock scales to achieve a more oval cross section, or remove them and paracord wrap instead-the handle is fully textured, but is surprisingly slick thanks to the material used. If I were going to leave the stock scales alone, I would want some much more aggressive texturing.All in all, for $28 I'm VERY impressed with this knife so far, and look forward to further testing in the field! The only possible issue I can foresee (besides the necessary handle modification) is if they completely botched the heat treat and either there's some micro crack I can't see, or the steel isn't as hard as it should be. I will follow up on this review at a later date if I do encounter any other issues.

I'm really impressed considering the fact that I've never heard of this company.I decided to take a chance because I really liked the overall design.No weird swoopy, edgy bottle opener type stuff on this one. Just a nice, straight forward design with a few sculpted accents on the G10 scales.It's no polished jewel and kind of looks like your typical military grade stuff. It's brushed and blacked out.That's what I was looking for.Stealth!The build quality and sharpness are excellent. It's heavy duty. I thought maybe they sent me 2 or 3 knives in the same box, judging by the weight.The grip is a bit cramped, but manageable. I usually wear a size 2x glove, sometimes a 3x. If you've got jumbo sausages fingers, maybe it's not for you.The sheath is a nice fit with a solid click home. Not too happy that it has a slight abrasion on it. Where it's located, it couldn't have happened in transit. Must have happened at the factory, or perhaps someone was fiddling with it and returned it. One side of the round seal tab on the box looked like it had been resecured.The knife itself is in good shape. Doesn't show any wear.Also, the knife wasn't wrapped in plastic as many are.The belt clip is your standard cheaper pinch type. I prefer the ones with the push button release. They're a bit more substantial, but this one will do the job. I can always change it for about $6 or swap it with one of my others.The box would have been nice if not for Amazon slinging it around and throwing it on my doorstep as usual.It's was a nice dark green box with a magnetic closure until it got slightly crushed. Why the hell can't they be more careful? This is why I pay for PRIME??? It should have been shipped in a box, not a bag!The translation to English on the box is goofy looking, but still, it would have been a keeper if not crushed.Overall, this is an excellent knife and I would highly recommend it.It shaves hair out of the box.Nice aesthetic.Ergonomic fit for up to XL glove size hand.Heavy duty.Compact.All it says on one side of the blade is"KHU" and "420HC".NO MADE IN CHINA BS!I really dig the lack of a made in China stamp.

Love this knife, particularly for the price. Knife arrived with a very sharp edge. Good snap on the sheath for positive knife retention. The blade is >1/8" thick... giving me confidence that the knife will hold up well to batoning. The belt clip has button to release and a locking switch to prevent unintended release (of the 'belt clip'... no locking for the knife to sheath)... very important to me as work on a farm & tractor and have lost knives from my belt out in the field.From initial impressions, I am VERY optimistic... and considering purchasing another just to have in the truck.

For the price point, I don’t believe you can beat this knife. Extremely durable, razor, sharp, holds an edge well. Just about the perfect size for skinning, camp knife, hiking knife, EDC. Excellent knife!

Awesome looking, metal weak

Saw this as an Amazon deal so took a flyer and bought it. Heavy and thick blade with a good edge. This will be my go to hunting/woodcraft blade going forward. Will let you know more after some heavy use. For now it looks promising and for the money tough to beat.
