NedFoss13" Survival Knife with Sheath, 7" Large Blade Camping Knives with Rosewood Handle, Full Tang Bowie Fixed Blade Hunting Knife, Outdoor Bushcraft Gifts for Men Women

Great knife. My 2nd Dave Foss. Don't let price alone mislead thoughts of something being cheap and unworthy (all the time). I'd call the cost of this knife as "economical, not cheap. If you want to pay more, they're out there. I own several American made Buck knives and would say this knife is practically in the same league. Designed in America, made in China, but not the well known communist China. (If you're surfing around and find a similarly worded review, I assure you I'm for real, this isn't a bogus copy/paste fake review, I own this particular Ned Foss Bowie knife and the other one, Ned Foss 9.6" Hunting knife)Craftsmanship is awesome, beautiful very sharp blade, serrations are real, not just for show. Nice sheath but some kind of design or texturing would have improved it's overall eye-appeal. But, the sheath isn't the business part of any knife. Beefy full tang blade/handle end to end, no welding. If you break it you're probably going to be going the hospital or the chain broke at the same time by using it for what a knife is not made for. Balance is pleasantly, and surprisingly, spot on considering the overall size. For survival, this will work on a true ferro rod (not flint) to start fires. If you need a bigger knife, you're not in survival mode, you're in lumberjack mode and should have a chainsaw to do what this knife can't (easily). Hardness is up there but since I don't have a hardness tester, I used the old fashioned method of testing with a steel file (in an inconspicuous area) and although is left a minor scratch, almost invisible, you don't want a knife to be as hard as a file, it'll break before it bends and be too brittle. Don't be alarmed because it's magnetic. There are various types of SS and the magnetic type is excellent for a knife. It arrived sharp enough to shave hair off my arm so I'm not messing with it until it needs it. (The phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a good rule to live by)I have absolutely zero negatives to mention about this knife and shipping was on-time. I recommend this knife to anyone looking for this type and size of knife (not practical for carrying around town and likely to cause undue attention from the wrong source), I'd buy it again if I ever wear this one out (still have my kabar from 40 years ago so not likely i'll live to be 100 and still able to use this knife)...LOL) As a gift, it will put a big smile on an mans face (or womans). My son's father gifted it to me for fathers day, made me smile ☺

This is a gift; but upon inspection the blade is super sharp and seems really functional. Time will tell how it lasts; but the price is very reasonable for this blade.

I'll start by saying my 5 star is driven by level of quality compared to price. It would still be a 4 star at any price. My best knife is a Tops Operator 7 which is perfection to my way of thinking. This knife has a similar feel, weight and balance. Didn't shave my forearm on arrival but 15 minutes got it there. Finish quality compares well to more expensive knives. Sheath isn't up to the knife quality as it seems a bit thin in the belt loop but I generally make kydex sheaths for my knives so not an issue for me. GREAT knife for the price that I don't have to worry about abusing with heavy use. To say I was surprised at the quality at this price would be an understatement.

I like the appearance of the knife. The quality appears sound, so far. even the weight and thickness of the blade are good. Moreover, I do not have to "re-sharpen" the blade. the reason for 4 stars is simply the size. I would appreciate say, 3-4 more inches. I think I know a little about size.

This knife is thick and sharp. Looks really cool, classic. The build is really sturdy. The piece is big.

I am very pleased with this knife. It has a solid full tang blade and the weight is perfect. I highly recommend this knife to anyone looking for a solid knife for a great price.

Very nice well made

This knife generally has very good reviews so I had very high expectations. The actual knife was even better than I had hoped. Fit and finish is very good (seems flawless) and it feels extremely sturdy. The biggest problem is that it is too nice to actually use ... one just want to hold it and admire it. I don't think you can go wrong with this knife. When I bought this knife, I also purchased a knife costing more than twice the price. It will have to be amazing for me to not trade it in for two of these and juicy hamburger <(;-)>
