Eafengrow EF131 Fixed Blade Knife,DC53 Steel Blade,Micarta Handle Full Tang Fixed Knifes for Camping Hunting Bushcraft

Great knife , well balanced, sharp.

Knife is a tank. It is much larger, in every way, then i expected. It would be a great out doors/bushcraft knife. I only knocked a star because I wanted it as a standard belt knife or on pack knife, but it is just too chunky...

Great knife better then spending 300 or more

This is the only knife you will ever need, really this is the best knife I’ve ever used! You can use it in the kitchen, camping, survival, combat, hunting this knife will not disappoint you. The knife has a perfect shape, grip and weight, it is a knife you will carry forever.

I've purchased three Eafengrow knives - no disappointments with any of them. If you have some familiarity with knives, understand what you're buying and you like the style - don't hesitate. After 3 decades, I'm at the end of my knife collecting era, one because I'm getting old and two because of knives like this - an era that would have ended much sooner if I could have purchased perfect or near perfect knives at these prices when I first became infested with the knife virus.

Bought this as a new camping knife. Solid knife overall. However, when I received it, the sharpening of the tip was not straight and symmetrical. Had to put in some time re-profiling the tip. However, the rest of the cutting edge was hair-shaving sharp out of the box. The 90-degree spine is nice and will definitely help with fat wood shavings and sparking a ferro rod. The handle is comfy and fits perfect in my med/lrg hands. No real hotspots from what I can tell, though I have yet to use it for an extended period of time (just simple garden/yard work so far). The fit of the sheath is outstanding: tight fit, no rattle.If it wasn't for the crooked tip, I would've definitely given it 5 starts. It's still a great knife and highly recommend it. Can't wait to take it on my next camping trip. Just make sure you check the fit and finish.

I finally found my perfect camping, survival and bush craft knife. The straight Micarta handle feels very good in the hand without any annoying finger grooves that never spaced right. The spine is not only thick it is 90 degree for striking fire rod and for batoning. There is some weight to the knife due to the thick stock and that is a good thing. Unlike most knives that have a flat grind all the way to the tip and leaving a very fine and pointy yet super thin tip. Eafengrow left a lot of metal at the tip and that tip is strong and robust and I can't see the tip will break off at any task. At about 5.5 inch the blade is just the right length for carrying and bush crafting. The DC53 steel is D2 steel on steroid and a perfect steel for this type of knife. It is hard and tough and withstands chopping and thrusting and still keeps an keen edge. The sheath a simple but works and the retention is just right not too tight and not too loose. The belt clip is good but it is mounted at mid way on the sheath and that makes the handle ride too high when hooked onto my belt and it becomes a little awkward to pull the knife out. Although the belt clip can be mounted vertically or horizontally but not any angle in between. I never like carrying a 10 plus inches knife horizontally. I will change out the belt clip with the one that can rotate up to 90 degree so I can carry the knife vertically and rotate downward to any convenient position to withdraw the knife. This is the best designed outdoor knife in my opinion.

When I got the knife in and saw that its thick blade I said this thing is a beast. Well time went by and I did finally get around to splitting some 3 to 4 inch pine logs for a back yard fire. We'll was doing good never broke or chipped out. But when I looked at the edge it looked like a wave. So if this is infact a d2 blade it's not 60-62 hrc cause it would had blown out rather than bending. It's a good looking knife but not a great knife.
