Is this a good basic knife?(:

It's sitting in my pocket as I type this. Its got a decent blade - razor sharp to start, but I abused it a bit. Its not going to hold an edge like a $80 or $100 knife, but for basic utility? It's excellent. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely. I carry this knife almost everyday just as a work knife. Also is a great knife if you are in public service. I suggest you buy a sharpener if you are going to use any knife like this to keep it sharp and useful.

I've had better but for $5? Yeah it probably is the best $5 knife I've had, get it while it's on sale if you need a decent beater.

Yes it is good so far. I initially went for the look of it, since I wanted a tanto style blade. The last Tech I had, the locking mechanism began to fail much earlier than I would have liked. I have not experienced a similar problem yet.

Yes, it is. It's a very nice knife, especially for the price. I went ahead and bought a second one.

Honestly, I own several knives worth upwards of $400. I dont really care what the add says, I care how the knife works and feels. I carried this for 5 months in Afghanistan, and it worked great.Is it G10? Maybe (more like probably) is it a great knife? Definitely.

It is very solid. I can't stress enough how good of a buy this knife is. Everything about this knife is excellent. It does come pretty stiff when you first get it but after playing with it for some time it will loosen up and be perfect. Or you could always void your warranty and take it apart and oil it. :) I would definitely recommend this knife.

kabars are pretty good in my opinion theyre too plain for me personally but they are good knives. i like sogs better im out camping in all weather every weekend and ive had my sog for quite a while and its still in perfect condition. the grn handle fits my taste too im not a fan of leather wrapped like the marine kabar knife because i had one that the handle got waterlogges and started to flake and chip away. still a strong knife just the handle started going bad after a while. sog is my recommendation unless you have money for higher quality knives such as tops. zt. etc...

Yes, it is agreat knife, I have 2 of them, they are very sharp and I only have them sharpened professionally. Cooks Magazine reviewed a lot of knoves and this was #1, and the cheapest!!!

Although a good knife I really feel it's going to be a bit rugid and heavy for every day , go for a lighter knife, it weighs a bit in your pocket , it's a good knife but for what your looking for its a bit bulky

No it's isn't. I actually don't even recommend it. It's nice but I prefer a chef's knife with more versatility. It's nice from an aesthetic perspective and cutting tomatoes. I hope this helps.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

The knife seems to be high quality, and is stainless steel. I haven't tried to sharpen it yet, but it should be as easy as any knife. A sharpening steel can also be used if you take care to follow the curved edge.

This is a solid knife. It is not a thin filet blade, but it is not a thick chopping blade either. Just average.

This knife is very sharp, only the first 3 inches from the tip. The middle section and the back is not really sharp. If you cut steak, onion or carrot, I think it's good enough as long as you using the tip. This is a really big/long knife.

It's a pretty light knife. I'd say look into another brand/model for a heavier knife. Higher price-point too, I suspect.

Yes, it would make an excellent pairing knife! it's a little short to do much else though. Make sure to use mineral oil or a food safe water barrier, as the carbon steel is prone to rusting if left unattended.

If your worried about the price tag I'm guessing you don't know much about knives. Gerber, kershaw Buck ect are trash compared to this knife. If you dull it you can send it back and they will refinish the blade. Watch some youtube videos on this knife. Once you hold it in your hand you will know you made the right choice. I take mine with me when I go hunting. It's the nicest fixed blade knife I've ever owned. For the price tag how can you not buy it? Look at some other high end fixed blade knives. Not the junk they have at walmart.

I will add that, while the knife is certainly lighter than many of the quality German knives, it is by no means 'cheap feeling' or 'too light'. The first time I picked up this knife I immediately noticed the solid, quality feel.
