EXPLORER Bushcraft Survival Hunting Tactical Knife, Mikarta Handle, 7" Blade Stainless Steel MV-58, Genuine Leather Multi-Position Sheath + Firesteel, Made in Spain

I have owned many knives, but I suspect this will quickly become the favorite for outdoor use.The blade came in excellent shape, no signs of defect, bevels ground evenly, and sharp enough to shave hair from the back of my arm.The tang is THICK all the way to the tip of the blade and along its middle, tapering to a beautiful edge.The knife balances well; and rocks forward with heft at the slight flick of a wrist, which should prove to be a good characteristic for limbing and chopping. The subtle yet efficient hand guard prevents slipping of fingers onto the blade. The jimping is also well thought out and effective, not overly sharp.The sheath is of excellent quality as well. Strong stitching and well tanned, with a little oil, heat, and working by hand; the leather softens nicely.The snaps are strong and well made.This sheath can be set up for both standard drop leg and scout carry.Mv-58 steel has excellent rust inhibitive properties, and is known to hold an edge well.I am looking forward to owning this knife and thoroughly testing its use.Overall very satisfied 9.5/10 would buy againDeducting one half star not for quality but because I believe this knife would have been perfect if they used a superior quality stainless steel like S90Nor SV35N. Although that would drive costs up significantly higher.For the price this is what I believe to be the best all around blade on the market.

Excellent knife and sheath. If you do any outdoor activities, this is definitely a knife that you want to own. The knife arrived with no chips or scratches and very sharp right out of the box. Thick, full tang steel that should hold up to heavy use. Comfortable handle and well balanced with a solid feel. This is definitely a well crafted quality blade. The leather sheath can be worn vertically or in a scout carry. The included ferro rod is a nice touch. I am very pleased with the purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid knife for any situation.

Knife alone is of excellent workmanship and quality materials. Quite sharp right out of the box. BUT the case is disappointing as the attachment/retaiming leather strapse are attached with single sewing rather than double crisscross stiching..very very thin leather on this area especially when one considers the loss or not loss of this knife depends on this dismal attachment.

Love this knife so far. Well built. I'll add to the review after I've taken it on more adventures. 12-9-21 Had slight issue with a snap on the sheath to convert it to horizontal carry. After communicating with the Seller I used a tiny amount of WD40 and the snap was functional again!The only thing I would change on the sheath design is to change the snap that secures the knife, to a strap with a snap on the outside of the sheath. It's harder to get to the knife quick with the current way the knife secures.All in all though the knife is a work of art and I take it with me on almost every hike I go on.

I had been looking at this knife for about a year. I had a little extra cash so I bought it all I can say is wow. It is well built. I used it out of the bow to split a log Nd do some basic rope cutting and other basic things to get a feel for it. So happy. It replaced the other knife I used in my hike pack. Sheath also well made. It is sharp out of the box though I did sharpen it more because of my personal preference. I would buy again but it is so well made I doubt I will ever have to.

Theres a distinct difference between the endless $20-50 survival knives and this. That different screams at you as soon as you pick this knife up and slaps you in the face as soon as you unsheath it. It is not only stunning but the blade is thick running the full length, heavy, quality handle, sharp, with all the little features you could want. 100 $50 knives isnt worth this one knife.

This knife is absolutely amazing in quality and design. I was so impressed with a prior (slightly different) purchase from them that I bought this one as well. Absolutely beautiful design, construction, and arrived razor sharp. I will purchase from them again in the near future. The only problem I have with them is trying to figure out between the two which is my favorite....it's nearly impossible for me to make that decision.

There is a lot of bang for the buck on this. Incredibly well balanced knife, and sharp out of the package. We do our own custom leather so it is no surprise about the sheath reviews however, for a factory sheath it is quite adequate and again for the price point of the entire package you really cannot go wrong.
