Mossy Oak 15-inch Survival Knife with Sharpener and Fire Starter | Fixed Blade Hunting Bowie Knife for Camping, Tactical, Outdoor

This knife came in as advertised. It was somewhat sharp, but not paper cutting sharp. After a few swipes down a Chef's knife sharpener, it was very sharp. I used a diamond credit card sharpener to make the edge dangerously sharp. I've used the knife to baton firewood and small kindling and it works famously! Before you take a baton to ANY KNIFE, make sure that you know how to do it correctly. Those complaining about the top serrations not being sharp, I found out coincidentally that this also is by design. When using the fire starter down the blade as is done with most fire starters, it produced only marginal sparks. When pulling the fire starter through the dull serrations it produced such massive sparks that I accidentally set my pants on fire. The included Stainless steel sharpener is not great, BUT it is sufficient to "tune up" the blade's edge while out in the wild. I wrapped a 20 foot length of 12 pound test line and a fish hook around the sharpener and it still fits in the rear pocket of the sheath. One can actually pull the rod out of either of these accessories and use the whistle part for a fishing float by simply adding a small round of cork are the plastic holders. The whistles on the fire starter and sharpener are not loud, but beat shouting when help is needed. Perhaps the BEST THING about these included accessories are the bank line and fasteners attached to each of the devices. If found just enough bank line on the accessories, along with the clips to keep an unruly tent secure. I have gigantic hands and prefer a larger grip. So I weaved 25 feet of 550 pound test paracord around the handle. This makes for a thicker grip AND you can never have too much paracord in a back pack. The inside of paracord is flammable, so as an experiment, I unwound 6 inches of paracord, used the knife and sharpener to remove the cover of the paracord and started a fire using only the knife, the included fire starter and the strands from inside the paracord. It worked flawlessly and produced a great fire with the aid of only some dried twigs. I liked this knife so well, I bought another to keep in the boat. The stainless and rubber design should keep the moisture from ruining the knife as it did the previous high carbon steel boat knife. GREAT VALUE, especially for $18!

Overall, a great knife for its price. It feels great and sturdy. The grip is very comfortable. I love the design. It has a lovely look. It’s decently hefty but agile. Highly recommend this.

This is a nice knife. It’s a big size but it’s nice and sturdy. It’s doesn’t wiggle around when you use it and it seems to keep its edge quite well. Works for what it’s intended and I’ve bought one for both myself and also my husband since I liked it so much. The added sheathe is nice too.

Guys the net/net here is the knife is very nice. Mine came wrapped in plastic (from handle to blade) and also came with a rubber guard for the knife tip. The knife is covered in oil to prevent corrosion (I appreciated this). Once you wipe the knife clean and hold it, it looks absolutely beautiful. The knife comes with a nice leather sheath that has a strap to hold it in place. The knife doesn't feel cheap and has good weight to it. One thing to keep in mind, THE KNIFE IS HUGE. It's like a mini sword and I would suggest you wear gloves when handling it for improved grip. Some people complain (these people complain about everything in life) and there is just no reason to complain. My knife blade has a little nick in it but it's really nothing. Keep in mind that this is A WHOLE LOTTA KNIFE FOR $80 and you'd probably pay $125+ for it in a retail setting. If you want a "perfect" knife, be advised they exist but you're not going to get it for $80. So be realistic and not some tool who expects the world for $80. Highly recommended...

I've had this knife for almost 2 years now, and it never failed me. I don't use it as often as I'd like because surprise it's a 15 inch knife! You can't really take it with you anywhere but it works good around the house and when I go hiking in the mountains. I'd hate to see what this thing could do to a mountain lion in a defense situation. Another thing, because it's huge and made of stainless steel, it takes a long time to get a good edge on it. So if you want a sharp blade, you're gonna be there for a while if you use a sharpening and wet stone like yours truly. And the saw back is practically useless. Its not sharp enough to cut anything and you can draw it across your hands and it does virtually nothing. But after all of that, I don't regret buying it. Its my favorite knife. Now for the sheath. The plastic inside the sheath to stop the knife from ripping the material apart comes out within time and a little force. Now every time I pull the knife from the sheath, the plastic part comes out too. It's irritating if you need a quick draw of a knife. But it's not a problem, just an irritation. Now the other things that I don't know are called, because I've never used them once. I think that summed those things up. Idk if they're used to sharpen the blade or to start fires but honestly I've never used them. But tl;dr, If you're looking for a durable knife to take with you hiking and to protect yourself from big hiking, get a gun. But if you don't like guns, this is the way to go!

This is an awesome knife! And much better than I expected! I am very satisfied with his purchase!

we have bears all over the place and only once have we had an issue where one came through the back door into the kitchen. in that situation with the family all there i just grabbed the rifle no thinking, just had to act fast. but that was a one off usually they are more scared of us by far. but lately we have started having mountain lion attacks nearby. i won't carry a gun with me everywhere i go. for those times i just carried my dad's old hunting knife. but i handed that down to the next generation and needed something sturdy that would be there if ever needed. the knife ships with a belt holster, a sharpener and 'fire starter.' if you need those last two items i would recommend purchasing those separately as i'd never want to rely on those that come with. the 'saw' on the top side of the blade might work in a real tight spot but again if you need one i'd just buy a small folding hand saw that'd work out better. the important part is the knife itself. it ships oiled. i saw a couple minor visual imperfections on the blade but i bought it to do a job not look pretty. the metal the blade is made from feels very solid. the length is about perfect for my needs. it fits the holster well and there is a snap latch to keep it in place too. for the money it's a good value IMHO. for the price and the quality of the knife itself i wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone in need of a good well priced hunting/fishing/camping knife.

Considering that mossy oak is not a pure knife manufacturer they still did an outstanding job on crafting a beautiful Bowie knife at an exceptional price. It's very easy to spend much more and you may find a cheaper price on similar knives but they seem to have hit a sweet spot for value. The steel and blade quality is not top-notch but it is much better than lower cost knives. The sheath and belt clip work very well. There is a snap that wraps around the knife holding it secure. The two fire starter rods are a nice addition making this an awesome gift for that outdoorsy person in your life. The weight of the knife is on the heavy side which is actually appealing to me. If I am using it to split some wood it does have some weight behind it if you swing it. Makes me wish I had bought one for myself instead of only as a gift.
