Let me make a few assumptions if you are considering buying this knife. 1) You are not planning on buying a $200 Gerber. 2) You do not consider yourself a survivalist but you do DVR Man Vs Wild. 3) You’re buying as a gift for someone who DVRs Man Vs Wild. 4) In all honesty the biggest thing you have ever needed a “survival” knife for while camping is to Rambow open a bag of chips.
This was my first full tang knife and I honestly bought it thinking I could do more with it than I really can. Once I stopped trying to baton trees down with it and used it for what it really is, its a good knife. It easily beats any similarly priced folder or multi-tool (and hollow handle piece of junk) for back woods functionality, and its a very educational knife. Its pretty much just a chunk of stainless steel, so as long as you dont beat it to death, nothing can go wrong with it.
You must sharpen it. You must do something with the handle. (I went on youtube and learned how to para-cord a handle.) Ive used it as a spearhead, for making tent pegs and splitting kindling. All in all its a good tool that you can keep on you without ever knowing its there until you need it, and its great for opening bags of chips.
The firesteel on the other hand is incredible! If you have never used one before you will love starting fires with it. Knowing you can make fire without matches or lighters gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.
So I recommend owning this knife for the experience of of owning this knife. Also, consider a Mora, or Cold Steel Bushman.

I was not expecting much when I ordered this knife. I was very surprised. It is a great full tang knife. fits well in a survival, or hunting pack. It does need a little sharpening, and maybe a re wrapping on the handle, but most of us would sharpen, and work the handle for our selves any way. At this price you can have one for in the glove box, your hunting pack, where ever. Throw it in and forget it, will be there when you kneed it. The fire steel is of good quality, and the thumb grooves on the back work well as a striker. The sheath is just sewn canvas, and there is no retainer for the striker, but don’t let that keep you away from this knife. For $10 this is a way better knife than you will get from any flea market, and being really just on piece of steel will be very durable.

Kife and fire starter are decent and worth the price. The canvas sheath is not as good, as the kife easily slices through it and sticks out the end.
