Shrade makes the most cost effective quality blades I've ever found. One was rated knife of the year at a knife show and it cost around $50. Can't go wrong with Shrade. They use 1095 carbon steel, ship razor sharp and 1095 holds is easy to resharpen when necessary.

I bought this for my abandon vehicle disappear quickly bag, build quality is as good as anything that cost up to 50% more. This by no means compares to Some of the high dollar custom survival knives but for what it's designed for , it's a great deal.

The knife is so sharp it is scary, the fire starter gives you a good stream of sparks especially when using the back of a knife blade. Cons, the sheath needs work, it is very difficult to get the knife out, the first time I had to use a screwdriver to pry it out. Perhaps with use it will loosen up, I am hoping so.

I had the chance to take this blade for camping. I loved it, sturdy, easy to sharp, good belt loop and comes with a ferro rod which is a plus. Its good balanced and the g10 handle makes it very grippy even with wet hands. Batoning and chopping small branches are easy task. I recommend this blade
