Is the whole thing steal? Like how military combat knives are all steal so they don't break.

Iodinate know, handles very well, its heavy but I can't tell if its steel. Its like a strong carbon fibre handle.
1627583
No. The handle is comprised of high impact polypropylene mounted with six screws, that's the weak point. If you're going to throw it place your hand up to the hilt/halfway up the handle. Good luck!
1627584
No. The handle is not. In addition, this is not useful for camping and splitting wood. The way the head and handle connect does not allow the head to slide through the wood you're splitting.

Polymer shaft... Shock absorbing and very durable... I have a good deal of experience with both tools and "tools for war"... This axe is relatively well balanced and has a well executed design for both cutting and piercing... If this were made in America it would be in the high $200 range... And just to let you know,,, Military Combat Knives do break!!!

The head is steel and then the handle is polymer. It's a very strong weapon.

I treat my knives very carefully and haven't had that problem. This one is new, but I bought it as a replacement for one that was 15 years old, not because it wasn't like new, but because someone who shall remain nameless (husband) accidentally threw it away.

This is a collectors piece, for nostalgia purposes. I wouldn't trust the metal, they don't even say what type of metal is used. The real concern is that the sharpened tip, as stated by the troops that used it in combat, had a tendency to stick into bone, making retrieval very difficult if not impossible. I wouldn't even carry it as a backup. I would be looking at the Ka-Bar USMC, SOG Bowie 2.0, or shop Ontario knives. You want a thick 1/4 inch full tang sharper than a razor and made out of real steel . SOG uses AUS 8, Ka-Bar uses Cro-Van, and Ontario is High Carbon. These are your real deal military used manufacturers. This is a collectors piece, for nostalgia purposes. I wouldn't trust the metal, they don't even say what type of metal is used.

Yes. But please keep in mind that a knife is almost never considered an ideal first line weapon for home or self defense. I am a former US Army Airborne Ranger, and a combat veteran. I was given what amounts to the best hand to hand/close quarters training that a person could ever hope to receive, and still think of a knife (in the defensive role)as a weapon of last resort.

NO..Go With Buck, I did some research just the design of blade is pat here in usa..." Which is printed on the blade" Seems like a sneaky sales.. Good knife! All though I Believe its made out of chinese steel....I own a few of these knives, However I do believe the older models are made here, Do some googlin!

HelloUnfortunately, it is not. It is just a solid piece of black metal that slightly sticks out on the rear / bottom of the knife. It's never got in the way and has done very well at breaking glass.

No, I don't see any way you could do that. I think it is a great knife especially for the money, I bought 3 one on me, one in my truck and one in the safe for when I inevitably lose one.

No I clip mine to the inside of my pocket. So far the knifes great. Super sharp.Screws have held nicely. As soon as left a wrench small enough I place on putting on lock tight because I've heard other reviews that they come loose. Open blade with the quick release or the blade & so far both are great. Solid knife. No rattling open or closed. Have had it in my pocket but no problem retrieving it their also. Great little tactical or work knife. Highly recommend. Love it. Hope this helps.

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real.

So sorry, you may have to look that up on the I-Net. My son in law said that it was one excellent knife. He was always breaking his pocket knives, so I purchased this one. I have a knife like that around here somewhere. It is a very good knife I can not believe I purchased one for so little. It is much heaver than a pocket knife but, it is small enough to fit in your pocket. Remember you may always send it back. Amazon is good that way.

I think so. The knife is reportedly stronger and holds an edge longer but I have not tried to break it or had a need to sharpen it.

First of all the last that two that answered shouldnt have responded if they choose to be so rude. Ignore them. This knife has a liner lock. You push the thin piece of metal ti the side where the blade originally came out of the handle. Good luck!

This wasn't part of my response. I responded to whether the knife was "full tang." The "new addition" is in Amazon's description of the product, and I suspect they meant to say "new edition," since this particular knife is not exactly what is seen in the Crocodile Dundee movies.

I haven't had any issues with any of my Mora knives. Stainless or carbon steal. But than I haven't tried to bend or brake any of them.

Not at all. The two throwing knives are punched out from the handle of the sword. Wish I found that out when I bought it but the handle unraveled later on and I realized the shoddy craftsmanship :(

You are correct. This is a fixed blade knife like an M9 bayonet. This is an outstanding fighting knife in my opinion.

I added this knife to collection a few months ago and found it to be a beautifully made and finished combat dagger. I tested today to answer this specific question and am satisfied that the molded plastic sheath holds the knife firmly[stays in, held upsidedown without strap] but pulls out easily ,no snagging
