Eafengrow EF123 Fixed Blade Knife 14c28n Steel Blade G10 Handle Fixed Knife for Outdoor Camping Hunting Survival Tool Knives with Kydex Sheaths

I've seen this knife around for a while. It's popular so when I received mine, I found out why. it's really well made. Excellent ergo's and razor sharp right out of the box! Strong, sturdy, I was not at all disappointed. Good knife, great deal! Get one...

Very nice knife, sharp and pretty. Sheath rides a bit high for me, but that is a personal prefrence. Choil is huge and if they had a larger gaurd I'd say not needed, but it pairs fine with the small sqaure fancy gaurd in case you slip it acts to stop you from getting cut. The light green handles remind me of a jade like color. Very fancy and useful for either Gents or Ladies. Steel seems sharp and decently hard. Just a nice buy.

Okay, I really like the looks of this knife; however I don’t usually buy anything on looks. Having said that, the knife itself is really knice! Feels great in the hand. Weight and balance are really good - I teach Japanese sogobudo (traditional martial arts) which includes Tanto jutsu. So, especially for the price it is a great deal. Just be advised the knife wasn’t sharp at all and the sheath is poorly fitted and rattles badly. The knife moves around a lot in the sheath - nothing a heat gun and a sharpening stone can’t fix. But I am also not a fan of tek lok type belt carry as I find the draw rather awkward.

This is a great design, suitable both for outdoors use as well as tactical use. The finger choil allows for for enhanced blade control during detail carvings (bushcraft). The G10 handle scales are not very textured, but unless they are very greasy, they are not slippery. This is not a skinning knife, so that shouldn't be a consideration anyway. If the steel is indeed 14C28N, it provides excellent stain resistance, edge holding and toughness. Very happy with this purchase.

Im beyond pleased with this knife! I'm wildly pleased with the fit and finish as well as the design. Eafengrow has solidified itself as an absolute cornerstone of serious knife collections! This purchase has me blown away at the quality I got for the price. 5 STARS +++!!! I did reheat the snap-in closure at the opening of the kydex sheath to hold in the knife a bit more firmly, I could easily wear this setup horizontally or even upside-down now after this small adjustment. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS KNIFE, as well as just about everything from Eafengrow!

Grind on the blade was impeccable. However, the hilt was tilted and grip panels were askew. Some sharp edges on grip where panels didn't align. Sheath fit well. Was able to address the finish problems, including the hilt, myself. Now a very nice knife.

Even though this knife is made in China, it is very well made. I have replaced the Kydex sheath, because it did not retain the knife securely enough. The thickness of the blade, means it will hold up to hard use. Its a knife, it functions as it should. Holds a good edge and is well balanced.

First thing I did was put a polish on the blade, as you can see in my pic Second thing I had to do was to re-mold the kydex sheath, as it was too loose to properly secure the blade. That cost it a star. The blade steel is pretty good, the symmetry is excellent, and the overall feel is very sturdy (you can definitely baton wood with it). The blade was very sharp out of the box, and with a few minutes on the strops it’s hair-popping. At this price, I can’t fault the choice of the handle screws, but I might replace them as they protrude out of the handle. Also, there’s finger choil is a tad small, so be careful doing carving or feather sticking. Overall, I’m happy to have given this knife a chance.
