Essential Knife

Don't know how I missed this one over the years of collecting. This knife seems virtually indestructible! No chance on breaking this blade. Multi use is great. Build a shelter, skin an animal and cut small vegetables for dinner. Also, a formidable self-defense weapon. The nylon sheath that it came with seems to be getting a bad rap, but I must have received a good one. No complaints and it fits like a glove . If you are a collector or plan on spending time in the bush it would be in your best interest to have this treasure.

Great KA BAR Knife

This is one of my favorite knives. KA BAR does not disappoint in quality and craftsmanship. I do wish the handle had some checkering on it for a solid grip, the sheath is kind of cheap, those are my only cons. Knife Center did a great job getting it to me on time as promised. My next camping trip this will be by my side.

BK22 Most bang for your buck!

This knife is absolutely unbelievable. Yes, its big, thick and heavy. But if you only had this one knife, wouldn't you WANT it to be? One would have to put forth a lot of effort to bend/break this knife. This is hands down one of the best knives I have ever used. And for under $100? Buy several. You wont be disappointed.

Its a BEAST! But the balance is incredible!

I bought this blade after a LOT of consideration. Heavy?! You betcha! But, with a balance that you will simply be AMAZED with. I have been collecting knives for many years, Never have I received one as quickly from KC as I did this one. The Pandemic has everything screwed up, but this puppy arrived in 72 hours. Thank you, KC! The knife is a 1/4" thick slab of 1095 steel. Weights in at 433 grams. Thats roughly 15.3 oz. You average claw hammer weights in at 16 oz. WOW! Overkill? Probably. If you break this knife you were doing something with it that you should have been using a different tool for. Amazing factory edge on this knife. I spent a couple of years getting a screaming sharp edge on my US NAVY fighting Kabar, less than a week on this blade. THANKS KC! Your folks sent me an amazing knife.

Terribly awesome. . .

This knife is a really well made knife, and can do everything it was designed to do well. However it is impractical. It’s weight is unnecessary, even though it does aid the chopping ability, it just isn't enough of an improvement to make this a better buy than a larger thinner knife that weighs about the same or a bit more. Everything considered, it has the ability to do a bit of everything as far as survival and bushcraft go, however it would be a much better idea to buy specialised knives in each area (bushcraft and survival) and have less weight with two adept knives as opposed to one with compromises in both. I like the weight a lot, but I wouldn't take this on an expedition due to how much better, lighter specialised knives are (like a Mora and the Condor, Hudson bay camp knife, which incidentally costs less). All issues aside, I really like this knife because of how ridiculous it is to have a 1/4 inch think 5 inch blade.

The best camping knife for the money

I use it mostly for camp/outdoors. When I got it I was impressed about the looks (Better than the internet pictures). I would say it is indeed heavy, but I'm not sure that is a very bad thing. It feels solid and seems like it's never going to break! I did some reaserch on good knife options for 50-100 USD budget and I'm sure I didnt go wrong with this guy. The steel used on the blade is 1095, which is highly "delicate" with corrosion so it comes with a very thick and mean looking finish on it.

Has the potential to be a classic. I use it mainly for weekend outdoors trips, teaching my boys basic survival in a world without Xbox. I'm very impressed. Especially with the durability, as my boys are 10 and 4. The weight is perfectly balanced....doesn't feel like lugging a pick axe around....it just has that solid feeling and you just KNOW it won't break.
