Titan International Knives Handmade Skinning Knife Carbon 1080 Steel | Fixed Blade Knife Color Coated Hand Pounded |Walnut Wood Handle with Leather Sheath | Perfect for Camping and Outdoor Activities

My husband likes knives so I got this as a gift for him. We were both very impressed by the quality of this knife and didn’t expect it to be this great for such a reasonable price. This knife is VERY well made and even the sheath for it is wonderful quality as well. It looks very cool and hubby inspected it very closely and wasn’t able to find any issues of defects. The knife came very sharp, oiled and wrapped in saran wrap inside the sheath. It seems to be super sturdy and well made and should serve us well for quite some time. I think that this is a fantastic piece and that it makes a lovely gift. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

Very good quality blade and thick leather sheath with snap clip. Handle and blade very good look and feel. Blade very sharp, and handle is high quality crafted with nice smooth edges and brass pins. Blade is nice and thick and comes to a very sharp point for stabbing penetration. Good weight for its small compact size. Fits medium size hand very well. Great value for the $$.

Good utility knife!

TL;DR version: good knife, well worth the money as long as you are willing to spend a little time sharpening it.I received this knife today, and was very pleased with it overall. There were only two things that I disliked and fixed, hence the overall 4 star review instead of a 5 star.Pros:1) Excellent grip when using the finger hole; thumb placement is perfect. Should work fine for small/medium/large hands because the hole is large enough to allow easy grip shifts (I have large hands).2) Nice bone handle, nicely pinned and quite attractive.3) Nice leather sheath. Nothing special, but well-fitted and looks durable.4) Fairly thick spine, which clearly extends all the way to the back of the handle. From point to tang, doubt this blade will ever snap even if abused.5) Nice curve on the blade, should be perfect for slicing, skinning, etc.6) Good solid and sharp point.e7) Edge was beveled (two-sided) instead of 1 sided.Cons:1) The edge that came with it was borderline poor; most other blades I've owned are sharper out-of-the-box. There was no burr on either side of the edge, meaning that whoever sharpened this blade thought they were fully finished with it.2) There were two minute nicks on one bevel of the edge; clearly the blade wasn't carefully ground and/or sharpened or these nicks would never have been there. This was actually more disappointing than the lack of general sharpness.3) No idea what steel or hardness the blade is, so no way to tell if it will hold an edge or not. Based on my sharpening, I suspect it's tool steel. If so, it'll retain an edge reasonably well, but will require regular sharpening and/or stropping.What I did:Fixing the blade was easy enough. I started with 800 grit and worked my way down to ceramic at a 20 degree angle, then stropped the blade using green compound on leather. The result was nice - shaving sharp when I tested it on my arm's hair.Total time spend sharpening it from unimpressive and nicked to shaving sharp and clean was about 35 minutes.Conclusion:Well worth the slightly less than $21 I paid for it, and a perfect carry for hunting/skinning. No need to break the bank on brand names - this will do the job, and if you lose it... well... you won't cry over the cost. :)

I love the size and the blade is super strong. The handle looks nice and is firmly attached. Great for puncturing packages. The blade is not super sharp out of the box but with a few swipes on a stone it's acceptable. I like the finger hole; I can't accidentally drop it and it can't slip. Also, you don’t need to unfold or open it. I like that I can carry it to the garage or wherever my need is and I can keep my thumb along the top of the blade with my thumb just protruding a 1/4 in or so past the tip, which protects the point from hitting my leg or anything I might accidentally brush by. I was very impressed with the leather holster. The body is thick leather, and it looks nice the only problem is the belt loop broke in a week or so of daily wearing. The grommet that broke attaches both the belt loop and the strap that secures the knife from falling out. I tried to repair it with a grommet tool but there are 3 layers of leather secured by the same grommet, so I didn’t have one long enough. I think a shoe repair shop could reattach it. I bought 2, one for me and one for a friend and am buying a third for another friend.

What a GREAT knife! Love the size and quality of the blade, handle and sheath! Highly recommend! Ppl that have seen it assumed it was a $100 knife

Very sharp and fits well on the belt line left side and right hand draw, extremely useful for ranch and horseback riding.

If it's really 1080, it's the lowest quality that I've ever seen.Blade edge had visible chips and the entire blade and tang had pits.Scales look like plastic not burnt bone.Unpacked one, took pictures then returned both.
