GTK10 Fixed Blade Knife DC53 Steel Blade Full Tang Nylon Fiberglass Handle Massive Cool Knifes for Jungle Hunting Camping Bushcraft Adventure

The GTK36 is overall a great survival/camp knife. Came absurdly sharp out of the box, fits my hand really well, feels like it can take a beating and the price was right.Summary: Is the GTK36 Worth It?Steel: DC53 offers impressive toughness and edge retention at a lower cost.Build quality: Expect sturdy full-tang strength, sharp edge, and solid sheath retention.Value: Comparable knives in this range (~$25–40) are consistently praised by budget knife enthusiasts.Limitations: Needs routine maintenance for rust prevention, sheath and hardware prep, and is not ideal for extreme batoning or very wet environments without proactive care.RecommendationsIf you're after a tough, sharp, full-tang outdoor companion without splurging, the GTK36 seems like an outstanding value—especially for camping, bushcraft, hunting and skinning.To maximize its performance:Prep it: Lubricate, smooth handle edges, and customize sheath fit.Maintain it: Keep dry, oil regularly, and store in a dry place.Use it appropriately: Great for slicing, carving, camp chores. For heavy batoning, opt for a heavier-duty blade or carry an axe.

I really liked the knife. It was well balanced, very sharp, comfortable to hold and priced right. It’s a shame the sheath did not provide enough retention. Minor quality issue that should have been caught before shipping. After I posted the review the seller reached out and wanted to make sure I got the product I wanted. I was sent another knife (same model) and this time the sheath has better retention. I was very impressed by the customer service and the fact that this seller cares and acted quickly to address the customer’s needs. Awesome knife and seller!

Good chopper. Not a Tops, but very good for the money.Sheath is good, but needs more retention for such a heavy blade. Heat gun should fix that.The hanger (green in the photographs) is garbage. Thin, soft plastic. Mine arrived already torn. Removal means drilling out rivets and replacing them with Chicago Screws. I'll probably fashion something so I can hang by a baldrick. This blade is heavy.

What’s not to like about this bad boy. Checks all the boxes for me. LENGTH(15”). BLADE THICKNESS (6mm). WEIGHT (1lbish). HANDLE LENGTH(5/34”).Again very sharp from the box. Didn’t paper test it but confident it would ace the cut test.I like how the handle is set up for a lanyard. Need to stay with thin material as the holes are small. It’s also able to crack a skull & a handful of walnuts @ the same time. There’s an 1/8” of protruding metal on the handle bottom that is useable if needed.Overall I would recommend to anyone. GTKii is really stepping up its game recently by offering several variations of this knife.

The media could not be loaded. Sheath sucks but adding one more grommet at the mouth of it tightens up the retention. At least until you make your own. The blade seams good but the scales will soon be replaced by ones I make out of G10 slabs. Testing this blade all next week in the woods of Tennessee. I'll post back with an update on how it went. I broke my Becker BK-9 last week so I'm going to see how this holds up. Update...made e new sheath. Beat the knife pretty hard this week. Chopping, batoning and carving. It held its edge perfectly. The only issue is that it really rusts fast if not cared for properly.

The sheath sucks but the blade itself is good for the price. I guess what can you really expect for the price. All around I’d buy again.

The knifes are very well made solid construction balanced.

Came extremely sharp. Appears to be pretty good quality
