Awesome hunter and outdoorsman’s knife Just received my knife. It has a Pakkawood handle as shown in the description photo.This is a full tang knife. With a blade and tang all one piece at 5/32″ (4mm), it has real weight and feels good in the hand. It has a 4 3/4″ blade and a 4 1/2″ handle for a 9 1/4″ overall which makes it perfect in my opinion as both a good skinning and outdoorsman’s knife.
Could be Worse… Knife has a decent weight and is easy to sharpen, but that’s pretty much where the positive attributes end. It came in needing some sharpening right out of the box, not uncommon except this knife claims to be handmade. It is made in China, and the sheath especially reflects that. It is a full tang knife, and the wooden panels are asymmetrical and the gaps are uneven. The steel that makes up the hilt is sloppy. You can see uneven grinding marks and wide tolerances between the layers. No pride in…
Good not Great I like this knife. The materials seem like they are of good quality. I like the shape and feel of the knife. The leather sheath is very high quality and looks great. However, the knife with it’s great materials has flaws which are representative of the price range for a knife like this. The metal and the wood don’t fit flush, there are large gaps where the blade and the hilt were forged together, and the bonding/filler material for gaps (like tar) is not contained to the gaps but flows over…
