Review: The perfect survival knife! - I am legitimately blown away by the quality and value of this knife. I have been a survivalist for more than 20 years and this is my new favorite knife. When it comes to survival knives, they have to be dependable because your life may depend on them. And this one hits every single mark, It's perfect! Perfect steel, perfect length, the drop point is perfect. It feels so good in your hand. The grip panels are as grippy as sandpaper yet still comfortable to the touch. Full tang is great and all but nothing beats one solid piece of drop forged steel. For the past ten years, I've used a Gerber Strong Arm in the field. Great knife but this one is SO MUCH BETTER and it's 25% cheaper! The only thing that falls short is the sheath, the Strong Arm sheath is slightly better. It's not bad but you can tell it's a bit on the cheaper side and it's not nearly as impressive as the knife itself. I may look into getting a custom leather sheath made in the future, but the one that it came with will do fine for now. I watched a ton of videos of people beating the crap out of this knife and it never even lost an edge. This is by far my best desertcart buy ever. This is the kind of knife that could last generations. I will be using it for the rest of my life and one day I'll pass it down to my son. I've spent entire paychecks on high-end survival knives but I'll take this one into the field over those any day. I really can't say enough good things about it.
Review: Excellent, solid knife. Tough as they get!! - Great knife!! Love the 52100 solid steel, monolithic design. This thing is tough and has great edge. Will eventually use heavy grip wrap on it, but it looks so good as is…

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will I definitely receive the new black version?**
A: 2/2023

The knife I received is dark or smokey grey — could easily pass for black.  

The handle inserts are extremely coarse — similar to 80 grit sandpaper, enabling a secure grip.

**Q: How do you slide it on a belt. The clip doesn't work**
A: It’s not meant to be s belt clip. Just a belt snap or pant snap. It’s primarily set up for a boot style clip to the top of the boot.... or just inside of the pants. 
Ulti clip is one of the best... for secure hold. 
Good luck.

**Q: What kind of steel is this blade made from?**
A: 52100 steel. It’s a high quality steel. Used for ball bearings.

**Q: where is the knife made?**
A: Mine say Taiwan printed on the blade

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy
*by A***R on October 13, 2025*

Better than excepted. This is a very good Bowie for the price. It’s came pretty sharp, and the size is just perfect for a Bowie. The knife looks great in person also. It is a heavy duty knife but surprisingly feels light in the hand. If you’re looking a beater Bowie this is it. I’ve beat the heck out of it and no problems.
