NedFoss Tactical Knife with Fire Starter, 3.9" Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife

I very rarely write reviews, but I have to this time. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I was looking for a fixed blade knife with a kydex sheath. I'm tired of really great knives being a let down with their subpar cordura sheathes. They're cheap and garbage. This knife has a legit kydex sheath with a very solid snap when placed inside of it. Even comes with a Tek-Lok. Then there's the knife itself. I have Beckers, Kershaw's and Schrades to name a few. All are very respectable knives with good steel. This knife is not only beautiful to look at but more importantly the craftsmanship is top notch. The finish and grind is on point. The blade design is incredible and very aggressive. Also has great balance and comes razor sharpout of the box. The steel, while not 8cr13mov, is more than acceptable for routine tasks and will sharpen up easily. The finishing touch was the G10 scales. Absolutely an amazing knife for the price point. A must have for any knife collector.

This knife set does not disappoint and it is well built. I like the fact that you get a nice kydex holster with the knife along with a flint and steel set plus a compartment for it. The blade holds its edge and it is easy to sharpen as well, the steel is of good quality and does not rust if maintained as instructed. The grip/handle is good for medium to small sized hands, so if you have large hands, the knife may feel small in your hands. I'm happy with it and looking to getting many years of use out of it.

Impressive quality and amazing value. I have a modest variety of knives, from Fixed blades, folders, OTFs, and everything in between. This is one of the best all around blades. Solid construction, with a THICK spine and true full tang construction that extends through the handle. Textured nonslip grips are just the right balance between form and function. The over all size and blade geometry offers aggressive cutting performance while finer details like textured jimping on the thumb ramp and perfectly shaped finger choil offer a variety of practical and effective cutting positions for your hand. You can feel the heft and weight of the solid construction, well balanced so it’s not to forward (blade) heavy, with ample handle space to balance the blade. Even the kydex sheath exceeds expectations, tight and secure, no rattle, or modifications needed. And of course, the blade was sharp out the box. Combined with the built in fire starter in the kydex sheath, this is definitely a keeper for years to come.

EDIT: Long term update -7/11/23 - The knife still looks great, the sheath is amazingly strong and still looks and works as new. My striker is a bit worn after taking it camping several times, and yes it did start 2 or 3 of the fires, I just don't like the small burn marks it tends to leave on the softer blade. Speaking of that blade, I've used it to cut, and split wood without any issues at all Oo and I was ready for the thing to break on the first camp! It's so thick, that it kind of make sup for the blade softness, also, I can resharpen the blade easier than any of my other, more expensive knives. The wight alone helps a ton when it comes to stripping wood for kindling. I've used larger pieces of wood to hit the top of the blade and split larger pieces, no issues. I bumped it up to 4 stars because as much as I hate this metal, it seems to be working with this knife, and I don't quite understand why, but reality wins, it works. I was going to do a tip test, but at this point, I don't want to ruin it, because I like it, and it does everything I need it to do. The handle hasn't come loose, and the blade does not rust(It could be due to how I care for my knives, and not the metal itself). It's perfect for the occasional outdoor adventure, but if you go often, or go solo, I'd invest in a much more capable blade. I feel like I got great value from it, and have no complaints for the price. You get what you pay for sometimes, but once in a while you also get a great deal, and I'm fine with mine. Lastly, YES, this would absolutely be fine for emergency self defense. I wish I could have this exact knife, in a more durable high quality metal, but it seems to perform adequately, as is, when used for what it's made for. It looks great imo, but I imagine the price would triple as well...over all a solid 3.8/5, great value, and might last many years if cared for. Very solid, and capable camping, self defense knife(NOT SOLO SURVIVAL). Caveat: If you can't sharpen a blade properly, or aren't willing to learn, I would say look elsewhere. I love everything about it, it's the perfect weight, very sturdy construction. feels far more quality minded than the price would suggest. does not shake or rattle in it's Krylon sheath, it's very tight, may take a few rounds of in and outs to get it just right, that's to be expected. the blade comes razor sharp, and the handle is exactly what I wanted the handle to feel, full, grippy, and strong, not even a hint of looseness. The striker works like any other, scrape off the black carbon, and use it against the sharp right angles on any part of the knife(not the blade). The sparks are numerous, and very hot, requiring little effort to birth a flame. Looks are strikingly beautiful, whoever designed this should have a pat on the back. The Krylon sheth works on all 3 belts I tried, and feels like it will last, and is very secure...ok, now the BAD, just after opening the box, wiping it down, and making sure all was correct, I took a small fallen branch maybe 1.5" thick, and carved a point on it, used the striker to test it, and noticed later the blade had lost a good portion of its edge, I could have shaved with it before, now on the first paper cut test, it bends, and tears, instead of cuts. I was not aware of the qualities of the metal this is made of being more fit for kitchen use than survival! I've learned a bit since, and feel very foolish now. DO NOT BUY THIS KNIFE unless you can get it in a more adequate material, unless you just want a pretty knife to practice your sharpening skills on, that, I believe it would be perfect for. It's such a let down to feel I've found my perfect camping knife, to be crushed before i even get a chance to use it. extremely disappointed, but concerned about returning it, I spent 4-5 hours looking for knives, I now what's out there, and this is what I want! just NOT IN THIS METAL!!! ...oh btw, the striker handle doubles as a whistle, but is crudely carved, it may or may not work properly until trim the extra plastic off of it, it's also orange only with the orange handle knife, and black with the black one. (not as the picture shows)

Good deal nice product fast delivery

Heavy in the hand, sharp out of the box. The ferro rod works very well. The case can be positioned multiple ways, I use it in scout carry position and this is the only knock. It is comfortable and the design allows it to hold tight. However it does not fit to the belt carrier the best. Not that it is not secure, it just sits high because of the design. It is not a problem for most, but it is something to keep in mind if you are wanting to be more concealed.

Out of all of my knives, this is by far my favorite. Not only does it look good and has the right weight, it just feels right in the hand. It's correctly balanced and is already razor sharp from the manufacturer! No need to sharpen at all. Is a must buy for any outdoor enthusiast.

I recently purchased the NedFoss Survival Knife with Fire Starter, and overall, I was impressed with the quality of the knife. The 3.9" full tang blade and G10 handle felt sturdy and well-made, making it a reliable tool for camping and outdoor adventures. The Kydex sheath provided convenient storage and easy access to the knife. However, one aspect that I found inconvenient was that the fire starter was hanging around separately. This made it less practical for me, as I prefer to have all components securely attached for easy access during outdoor activities. Due to this issue, I decided to return the product. Despite this drawback, the knife itself was of good quality and would likely be a great tool for those who don't mind the separate fire starter. If the design of the fire starter attachment is improved in the future, I would consider repurchasing this survival knife.

This is a great knife for the price the sheath is also a nice touch. The knife came in super sharp. And the adjustable sheath is really nice can be carried vertically or horizontally. Which is great depending on where and how you plan on using it. Farrow rod is also a nice addition but don’t know if I’ll be using that unless it’s an emergency because I don’t want to scratch the blackness of the knife. But nice that it’s there as a back up. All around it’s a really good purchase already used it while bushcrafting with my son. Was great for prep work for making a fire. Feather sticks and chopping wood down was easy. Would highly recommend this knife. She’s a beauty. Had this knife for awhile now and it’s holding up great. Highly recommend this knife. Thinking of buying another one as a gift for my brother or nephew. They like going into the bush like myself and I think they’d appreciate this knife. Used it over the summer and it still looks great. If you’re thinking of buying this I say buy it. It’s a great looking functional knife.

Es un cuchillo excelente muy bien fabricado y afilado, me encanto todo, funda también lo recomiendo ampliamente.
