Ill keep the amazon link if you want to see what a couple other people think.
The youtube video
displays it a bit better than the amazon photos.
It's, convenient enough I think, you must unhook the sheath from where it is though. And mind your fingers, I did nick myself trying out different ways of holding it. I have the sheath on a fastener to a machete so it's easy to reach for lighter tasks. It makes unhooking it pretty awkward though.
HipsterMcHipHonestly, I'll be sitting this one out. While QSP has surprised me with the value for their stuff, I just am not in the need for a knife that this one is marketed for.
If I was, I would with little hesitation at this price point
'Survival knife' to me means something that can take a beating in a pinch. I had a Kershaw blade snap because of a tiny hole in the spine. I would hesitate to use a knife with a giant hole in the critical stress area for light prying, something I do often for fire prep.
I'd buy one if it didn't have that sharpener on there, but that's just too dangerous to have around the house. Someone might try to help by using it on a knife.
That's a nifty looking sheath. No, not the firestarter, flashlight or blade-destroying sharpener, but the button lock. If I hadn't ordered the Neckmuk, I'd be interested if only to try out the 9Cr14Mov.
Plus the the bottle opener! It's a pandemic after all, we need our essentials.
bookworm13The button lock is a cool feature. Unfortunately, you're right about the other features. The fire steel is unnecessarily tiny and hard to use. The dangling striker tag makes noise and barely works. (Why didn't they just put a 90-degree edge or jimped surface somewhere on the back of the blade?) Even if the flashlight wasn't terrible, it uses a bundled stack of button cell batteries. The sharpener is terrible. At least the bottle opener is good.
