NedFossBLACK PHOENIX Hunting Knife with Holster, 5.5" 8Cr14Mov Survival Fixed Blade Knife, G10 Handle, Bushcraft & Camping Gifts for Men

Wow! Nice knife! I ordered the used/like new w/leather sheath for $33. And I’m very happy with my purchase.The handle/blade shape are reminiscent of an early AL Mar knife from the earth 80’s. And I’m a big fan of AL Mar knives. The sheath and knife fit are tight and the knife doesn’t rattle around similar to more expensive buck knives that I’ve disliked and subsequently ended up returning.The sheath is thick and stiff, just like I like, fits the knife very well. Stitching is nice and tight, no issues, with nice decorative tooling. Beautiful micarta handle, Solid purchase all the way around. Buy with confidence.

Better than expected for the price quality similar to others at twice the price or more. Good leather Sheath holds knife firmly yet easy to access when you need it. Very sharp but will put a razor edge on it like the rest. Great for everyday carry, you never know when you might need it for a multitude of uses. Yes, I would recommend this knife for anyone looking for a quality Fixed Blade knife.

Very well made knife. Pretty comfortable handle for just about any sized hands. Solid, sturdy & perfectly heat treated 8cr blade with a nicely reenforced tip. Shave sharp right out of the box!Good sheath, real leather but will need oiling when received. The Youtube reviews will show that this is a knife you can actually count on. An excellent value!

From the first one I received as a gift I've loved Ned Foss knives. Excellent design, quality materials & workmanship and a good edge on them right out of the box. I ordered the Black Phoenix with a leather sheath and am very pleased with it. Unlike many other knives I've gotten, the handle strap on this sheath does not interfere with drawing the knife. The blade arrived with an acceptable edge, though not nearly as sharp out of the box as other Ned Foss knives I've gotten. No problem: 30 seconds on my field sharpener and it was sharp enough to shave with. The structure of the blade is very similar to the "inverted I-beam" of some Kizlyar knives, which gives it added strength. This will make a great camp knife. The only drawback is the texturing of the scales on the handle. While comfortable in a regular grip, they were uncomfortable enough to be a distraction in a reverse (fighting) grip. On the whole, it's a very good knife and I'm very happy with it, but I'll make sure to keep a backup with me if I feel I might need a knife to use for defense.

This is a sturdy all-around camp knife. This is not a lightweight knife so it might not be the best choice for a backpacking adventure. It came in a cardboard box with instructions. The sheath is made of leather with an attractive embossed design. It is made for wearing on a belt. It has a snap loop to contain the knife in the sheath securely. It is an attractive and well made sheath. The knife looks tough enough to take some abuse. It is a versatile design; I expect it will work well as a chef's knife, or to cut kindling / small branches, for protection, or for general hunting use. I selected it over other more specific use knives because I wanted a general use knife. I also like the price point. It looks to be an import from China. There are perhaps better knives, even in the Nedfoss product line, but this one seems like it is perfect for my needs. I expect that it will last many years. I am happy with the purchase.

A previous review had mentioned this, but it’s worth repeating. If Tops Wild Pig Hunter and Kizlyar Phoenix had a child, this would be it. It takes design cues from both.I put it thru its paces on various camping tasks, and it does quite well on the lighter items like slicing and creating feather sticks. It is not a full blown chopper, batoning or heavy duty bushcraft knife, and for the price you shouldn’t expect it. Split logs and you will damage the blade. Use it for what it’s intended for, for everything else it maintains a solid edge. Very good QC.The sheath may have longevity issues, the stitching may not hold up over time. I’m going to make a kydex one as I think that may be a long term fix.An excellent buy, I’ve already ordered a few more as gifts. You won’t be disappointed.

This knife is quite simply my new favorite blade. It’s thick enough to be used in a variety of settings without worrying about breaking the blade.it’s sharp enough to cut most anything and just fits in one’s hands quite well. I couldn’t state whether it will retain its edge long-term but if the SHTF, this is the knife you would want.The sheath is heavy duty leather and almost as impressive as the knife itself.Anyone searching for a multipurpose, all around super-solid blade that doesn’t cost a fortune, I think this one will suit your needs without breaking the bank.All in all, for what it costs I am very, very impressed with it.

Quality is nice.Handle is comfortable and doesn’t have any hot spots.8Cr steel rusts very hard and PVD is not necessary.Only 2 small cons:1. Sheath.Very stiff material (not sure about real leather). Hole on the tip is absent and that’s mean that water will get there without any exiting and as the result you will get blade corrosion and mold inside.If you try to do this hole by yourself you will damage the stitches. Knife fixation loop looks flimsy.Try to find the different sheath.2. PVD. It is not necessary for this steel and it looks very rough.So, I wish to see the version of the knife without any blade covering.In conclusion: very solid and comfortable knife. Sharpness is like a razor blade.Very good!!!!!!
