JokerArrui 12 Bushcraft Knife CO63, Olive wood handle, 4.72 inches stainless steel fixed blade, brown leather Sheath, Tool for fishing, Hunting, camping and hiking

Arrived well packaged and shaving sharp. Blade has good thickness and appears quite sturdy with a good 90 degree spine. It has more of a hollow grind than I was expecting, definitely not what I would call a scandi - No complaints there, just an observation. The scales on the handle were rough sanded and dry so I touched it up with some 600 grit sand paper and some boiled linseed oil. I feel like the scales might be a little brittle so I'm hoping the oil will protect them somewhat from cracking - definitely highlighted the grain compared to when I unboxed it. My only major complaint might be that the handle is a bit on the small side for my larger hands giving me more of a three and a half finger grip. The generous ricasso and gimping along with the square shape of the grip make up a lot for the smaller size and it still feels good in the hand. The sheath is well made but as others have mentioned the knife is a loose fit which I expect to loosen more with use - not a deal breaker as there are ways to fix that.If the handle were slightly larger and the scales more durable it would be approaching perfect. It won't take the place of my Garberg or Varusteleka but this gorgeous knife will see lots of use as I put it through its paces in the coming weeks. Bang for the buck, it is well worth the investment.

I have purchased a number of Joker knives and have never been disappointed. All are crafted with skill and are a solid value for the price paid. The Arrui 12 is a well made and beautiful knife. Very sharp right out of the box and a couple of strops on leather and it is scary sharp. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't bought a Joker knife to purchase one and see for yourself the quality/cost ratio. I would expect that most people would be buying more. Sign me a very satisfied customer.

The craftsmanship of both the knife and sheath is exceptional. The knife is beautiful, blade and handle. The blade is made of the same steel that Buck knives are, and it's also heat treated. The sheath is made of thick cowhide and custom shaped to hug the knife. The smell of real leather is always satisfying. As for those that may have a concern about the leather sheath becoming loose, it is normal for custom shaped leather sheaths to loosen up with time. Reshaping a leather sheath is easy. Look for "How to wet form a leather sheath" on the Internet or youtube. As for the olive wood handle, when it gets wet and used, it will dull. To restore its luster, the tradition is to rub it with olive oil. For a longer lasting luster, use a modern wood preservative. Considering what other knifemakers are charging for hunting knives, I believe either they are overcharging, or this knife is way underpriced.

Very attractive knife and mine came well finished and the fit was perfect if not near perfect. The olive wood handle is well done and has much more detail and finish to it than similar Ukrainian knives. Solid and well polished. The only drawback is the quality of the softer 420 steel but sometimes quality has more to do with how it is heat treated than what type of steel. Have not yet used it but not disappointed. Came sharp but done some work on the edge.

The handle could be a lot smoother finish. Also the sheath is pretty loose. I would not carry this knife on my belt because it could easily fall out. Nice and sharp though. And it sparks a ferro rod. Throwing it in my pack for now.

Love the feel and the look is great, the blade came very sharp like hair shaving sharp out of the box. It’s not heavy and feels just right in the hand because of how bulky the wooden scales are on the handle. Their knife overall is great the only thing that might be a bit wish washy is the sheath. If you’re someone who carries fixed blades on there belt than usually a button to strap around the sheath is nice because when you have the open sheath for fixed blades you’re solely relying on your knife retention in the sheath and in due time it will wear out. So far it’s an awesome purchase. For 38 bucks you can’t go wrong.

This Knife is just very nice! very sharp and feel strong and comfortable on the hand.

first joker knife.... after I got this one I bought 3- more different versions good value The olive wood handle is sweet. This is a well made knife which will be in my pack.
