Bushmaster Explorer

Quality knife that can handle any bushwacking job. Very sharp, gorgeous ergonomic handle, beautiful sheath that you can trick out with add ons. Easy blade to maintain.

I have bought four of these: two for me, the others gifts. Never had a quality control issue. And if I did, like I did once with a United Cutlery Bushmaster Smatchet, simply return it and get a replacement. This is an awesome field knife for the money. I hear these knives along with other UC Bushmaster lines are going to be discontinued soon. Production Chinese made, yes, and so what? For ~$40 it's a good chunk of working metal with a comfortable wood handle. Balance is fine with just a hint of forward weight. Sheath is well made and stitched leather - worth $40 alone. My knife has held up well for a year doing light-medium yard duties (cardboard, rope, light plastics, small flower branches, and martial arts cardboard attacks -lol!) and I've yet to sharpen. Just wipe well after use. I turned my cousin on to the Bushcraft Explorer knife after his beloved Ka-Bar was stolen, along with his truck, and he now loves it; has totally forgotten about his ex. He's a die-hard camper and a professional HVAC commercial installer dude, so he takes it up a notch or two on the field with his knives. Has yet to sharpen his in over a year. The way I look at it is you can really work this knife and if you ever lose it or damage it (through dumbness) you're only out $40. Then you just go to your closet and get the other one out. Hopefully you'll take care of the second one a little bit better!

The knife overall was really good. However, the sheath is of a cheap material the is cut easily. I accidentally canted the knife while sticking it in the sheath and it sliced right through the material easily. Other than that I would have given it a five star rating. The knife 5 star, the sheath should actually be a 2 star 3 star tops.

Large, sturdy, full tang handle. Lanyard hole its a nice touch. Sturdy, sharp drop point blade. More handle than blade is perfect balance. Allows hard use with good control and comfort for my mechanic hands.This thing is nearly indestructible, easy to sharpen and keep sharp.Sheath is amazing, versatile to wear, and of similarly high quality in design, workmanship, and material.Ordering another for my go kit.This thing is the large ring mauser of knives.

Great knife! Solid construction. Perfect fit in my husband’s large hands. Bought the knife to fit on his backpack straps. Knife blade is nice n’ beefy, for all his bush crafting needs. Would definitely recommend this knife . 💯

This is my first knife purchase ever and overall not bad, but you tell this was made in a factory in China. There are some imperfections in the product and the scales (wooden handles) are not flushed with the metal. It was a little hard to get it on camera but I think I got it, it's the left side of the blade. Which its ok, like I said you can tell it was made in a factory in China lol, but the leather sheath is great I personally feel like it better then the knife lol, it holds on well vertical and horizontal. the Velcro seemed pretty cheap and I didn't think it would more then a week and its held up so far but, you can also just remove them and make your own straps. The pirce for this product seems fair for what you get, so overall not bad.

Although, I haven't tried the knife yet, it is very stury, sharp 90 degree spine, with a full tang. The sheath seems to be thick and good quality leather. I am very pleased with the quality and especially for the price. I want to get another one before the price starts going up. I think any common or average outdoorsman will be just as satisfied.

It certainly is a very solid knife. But for carbon steel it is rusting a pit premature. Mine has a very small amount of rust on the blade. Nothing I can't take care of, but rust had been mentioned before. I will also treat the wooden handle. But overall it is definitely a very good and strong knife for the money spent.
