FLISSA 9" Fixed Blade Knife, D2 Steel Hunting Knife for Camping, Outdoor, Bushcraft and Survival, Wood Handle, Leather Sheath Included, Christmas Gifts for Husband, Father, Friend

This knife is full tang and great for outdoor activities. It is the perfect size and fits my hand well. It meets all of the uses and quality as more expensive knives at a much more affordable price. It's a great knife.

SO awesome. Heavy and feels great in the hand, blade is thick and seems well designed. Haven't cut anything but paper and shaved some arm hair, but I can say it was razor sharp out of the box. Excellent bargain! I'm not a steel nerd, but if this is D2 as advertised and performs as such, will be great to add to the collection. In fact I got several!

I AGREE WITH THE GENERAL CONSENSUS ABOUT THE FLISSA FIXED BLADE. IT IS AN OVERALL WELL ROUNDED KNIFE AND SHOULD HOLD ALL OF ITS VALUE OVER IT'S LIFETIME. I AGREE WITH MOST THAT THE SHEATH IS SUB-PAR MOST LIKELY PHO-LEATHER. ANOTHER PERSON SUGGESTED TREATING IT WITH LEATHER CONDITIONER INSIDE AND OUT. THAT WORKED WELL. THE SPECS ON THE SHEATH ARE CORRECT AND THE KNIFE FITS GOOD. THE FINE MICARTA HANDLE IS PLEASENT WITH BARE HANDS. NOT LIKE HOLDING A COARSE ROPE.....IT HAS A SUPRISING POLISHED FINISH. THE D2 IS SLIGHTLY OVER HYPED AT THE MOMENT. YOU STILL NEED A LIGHT OILING AFTER WET CONDITIONS, BUT MUCH MUCH LESS THEN A 1095 RAW BLADE. I RECOMMEND THIS BUSHCRAFTER TO MY FELLOW AMAZONIANS. A NOTE TO FLISSA: PLEASE OFFER THESE ACCESSORIES POLYETHELENE LINED CORDURA (OR HEAVY NYLON) SHEATH. A KYDEX SHEATH WOULD BE GREAT TOO.....

Wood scales. Very impressive Becker BK-series shape, razor sharp, stout. Primary grind is flawless. Do remember one thing with this knife:whenever withdrawing or inserting the knife into the sheath, be sure to press the spine of the knife forward into the fold of the sheath, keeping the blade's edge as far away as possible from that thin retaining strap (with the snap on it). Very easy to do; otherwise, the edge will begin to slice into that retaining strap in short order and it will fail.I removed the scales (requires TWO identical hex keys, same size: one on each side) to get the two halves of the countersunk hex screws apart. Then I de-greased the whole knife blank, heated it with a heat gun, and frog-lubed it. Then applied a thin layer of automotive grease on the area where the scales go. I applied blue lock-tite to the screws and tightly reinstalled the scales, squishing the automotive grease out from between the mating surfaces. Wiped the excess grease off. The frog-lube should protect the entire knife blank and I don't think any rust can possibly form inside the handle.This knife should command at least a $45 price tag, IMHO. Buy it, rust-proof it, hone it, and wear it. It will not disappoint.

Heavy spine on this one, a very sharp edge too. I'm very happy with the handle the grip is comfortable.

I own a lot of nice knives. I bought this one on a whim after picking up another flissa knife for my sister. The quality on that one was pretty good, so at less than. $20 what could I lose? Nothing! This thing is a beast! I washed it off out of the box and ran it over a strop. It cut through paper like butter. The scandi grind is even and isn't too obtuse for the thickness of the D2 steel. The handle is a good size for my medium size hand, but as with the other knife I bought from Flissa, don't buy if you have large hands. The fitment of the handle scales is one spot where the price point shows its colors. I will do a bit of sanding and perhaps put some adhesive under the scales after I straighten them up. I don't consider the handles to be a deal breaker as long as you can operate sand paper lol. The sheath isn't bad looking and functions well. There isn't a drain hole but one can be put in easy enough. The spine of the knife is great for scraping or striking a ferro rod. If I had to run this order back, I'd have probably sprung for the better scales. I was being cheap. If you are reading this review looking for an entry level bushcrafter, or as a gift for someone that has and intrest in bushcrafting, don't hesitate! Buy it before word gets out and the price triples! I would suggest the upgraded handle though.UPDATE!: I have owned this knife for a few months now and I'm more impressed. As I own a lot of knives, this one was put on yard and garden duty. I've dug out more dandelions and thistles than I care to talk about. It's cut a bunch of aspen. Starts and raspberry vines from last year. Despite being used as a digging took and tree root remover it remained pretty sharp and chip free. I'm updating this review because of what it took to get that chip tip in the picture. The riding lawnmower found a couple lengths of rope hidden in the grass and wound them around the shaft of one of the blades so tight that it killed the engine. There was a loose end, but it was so tight I couldn't unspool it even with an end to grasp. So I grabbed the knife knowing it would ruin it. I was wrong! 45 min of prying against metal or just cutting against metal to work through the current rope, and an older rope that had been there a while. I lost a very small amount of the tip while prying against it, and have one small chip about mid blade from twisting the blade hard against some heavy steel. I put an edge back on it and it will remain the garden knife. The abuse I put it through was far worse than anything I've ever done in the woods, so I have zero complaints about the damage. In fact, just the opposite. Ill be buying a couple more for truck knives! Buy it already!
