DC53 Steel 36CM (14.3IN) Full Tang 6mm Thick Fixed Knife+Sheath&(5.9IN) Cerium Igniter, Suitable for Outdoor Hunting, Camping, Survival Exploration, EDC

This knife is an absolute tank! I read all the reviews & watched the WeAllJuggleKnives review on Youtube prior to purchasing. At the time, I got it for a swingin’ deal…$35! The knife could easily be a one option carry knife if you kniw what you’re doing. It came hair shaving sharp straight out of the box (just as my wife😂). I don’t think you could break this knife unless you ran over it with a D9 dozer! The handle is a bit blocky for my taste, but that’s what Dremel tools & sandpaper are for. I’ll be putting a 22°-25° convex edge on it just out of preference, but out of the box, the grind angles were symmetrical, sharp, & quite functional. I’m a Ka-Bar & CRKT knife guy, usually, but I couldn’t pass this one up @ the price point. With the DC53 tool steel & 6mm blade width, I’d put this up against my BK9 any day of the week. The sheath is well made, REAL leather (not pleather as one reviewer wrote), and after about 1 hr putting it in the oven and putting dome good leather conditioner on the inside & outside, she’s a beaut! Side note- smear your choice of leather conditioner (Obenaufs is my choice) on the outside (warm sheath in oven on warm-150° first) then as far inside the sheath as you can, then use your wife’s hair dryer to heat up the knife blade, place it inside the sheath, and walla, the inside is conditioned. Let the sheath sit for a few days before putting the knife back in. I honestly have zero complaints about this knife or shesth, it’s a massive 👍🏼 purchase!!

For the money definitely a hard choice to beat. It’s well built and doesn’t feel like a cheap chinese stamp with low grade wood grip nor does it look like it. Mine arrived quickly and was well sealed it had a small amount of oil that wiped right off, not sure if the dry climate was to blame but the wood pieces were fit very nicely no gaps anywhere on the knife. Only dig was the blockiness of the front portion on the grips definitely could use a bit of sanding there but overall nothing that impeded the comfort and functionality of the knife. As for the size this is a big knife however the weight is well within controllable and for the thickness it is actually pretty reasonable. When it comes to the sheath yes I’ve seen nicer but for the price point and the knife quality I’ll take the solid stitching and thickness of the leather it’ll hold up fine for most any use. The steel is not something I have any experience with but after using this knife I can say that it holds up great. My edge had no difference from the box to cutting through branches this thing was great it stayed shave sharp with no damage to the finish. I’ve had a good bit of large bladed knives this is now one of my favorites to throw in a bag or keep in a vehicle, after putting it through my test it seems to hold up to abuse and at the same time it’s a good price point to not stress about it. I haven’t heard of the company or seen much information on them which gave me some hesitation at first but this is definitely a knife; I’d recommend buying if you’re looking for a good large thick blade or like me just interested in the BA-KOR products.

I purchased two of these when they were on sale, but even today they are priced at $39 - which is a bargain. The knife is built like a tank, very thick DC53 stock with a good factory edge. Suitable for a camp chopper, perhaps more. The pommel is exposed and ridged so that it can be used as an improvised hammer, and the handle scales are large and fit the hand well. I’ll know more about any blockiness on the scales after I whack on it for awhile. The spine has sectional jimping for different choke up grips, but also for scraping. While the included ferro rod comes with a striker, I’ll be curious if the spine has enough edging to strike on its own. It would have been nice to have something incorporated into the sheath to include the rod and striker, perhaps a loop or pocket. The sheath seems ok, it’s not a premium grade like I have seen on Cudeman or Jeo- Tec, but this is not a $100 plus knife. The retention strap seems solid. I’ve said this about their other models, but I’m not a big fan of the Miller Bros. induced blade treatment. However, that should not take away from the fact that this is a really good knife for the price. AA++

Edit: This knife continues to impress me beyond anything I could have hoped for. I'd post pictures for proof of this next bit, but gore, so I'll have to refrain. I was hanging and skinning a deer today. I did NOT need a saw. One chop, and this knife cut cleanly through the entirety of a deer's neck vertebrae. Not between the vertebrae..Through it... Absolutely zero edge damage of any kind. It still shaves. I do not understand. Original: This knife doesn't make any sense. It's good. Really good. At the price point, there are of course going to be imperfections. Inconsistencies with edge degree per side, minor fit and finish issues, sub-par sheath, blocky handle scales, etc. I Don't Care.. At all. 10 minutes with a Dremel and sandpaper fixed the handle, for one thing. Second, The inconsistencies with fit and finish were mostly handle centric and were easily fixed in the process of sanding the handle. The sheath is whatever. Needed a lot of leather treatment (pine tar/beeswax/oil mix is great), and it will take a couple more applications before the "leather," is pliable. I'll probably end up making my own. Where this thing really shines is the steel. I couldn't believe it. The heat treat on this thing is immaculate. Nearly shaving sharp right out of the box and took 2 minutes on a 1000 grit stone and a strop to make it shaving sharp. After fitting the handle the way I wanted, I immediately tested it by batoning through a log so large the blade could barely accommodate the width. Then I chopped through a dry log of Douglas fir roughly 8 inches in diameter. After that, I proceeded to make 20+ single stroke clean cuts through an inch and a half diameter branch. Don't get me wrong, I'm strong, but I couldn't do that unless the blade geometry and steel were up to the task. Anyway, after all that abuse the knife still cut cleanly through paper and took five or six passes on a strop to have it back to shaving hair off my arm in a single pass. At this price, I cannot possibly understand how you can do better. Plus, it doesn't cost enough for you to care too much about it, so you can use it for what it's actually designed to do. Which is hacking things apart brutally and with reckless abandon. Just buy it and have a blast. It's a knife, it's an axe, it's a machete, it's a cleaver, and it's damn good steel. Aside from my rifle and pack, it's going to be my best friend come hunting season. One thing to be mindful of though. Edge burn is definitely going to be a risk factor in purchasing a budget knife like this. Mine was pristine right out of the box, but if you notice that it's not holding an edge quite right I can practically guarantee it will after you've sharpened it enough times and ground down to the steel that wasn't heated too much when the factory edge was put on it.

Wife bought me this (her account). Would have been a 2 due to poor QC. The grind was terrible. The thickness behind the edge was way, way too thick. It was like a flat bar with a zero edge, like a scandi grind gone wrong. The ergos on the handle felt like a chamfered brick. Luckily, I have a knife sharpening business and have the tools. With what I paid for it, it became a project knife. First I sanded down the handle on one of my belt sanders to make it fit my hand better. Then, since it was so thick, I decided to re grind it from a high saber/ High high flat grind into a convex. When I first hi wood with it, it barely penetrated the wood. With this convex which I terminated at 23 degrees per side. It is now a REAL CHOPPA!!!! Next I am going to burn in a pattern on the wood scales. As for the edge retention, it is really good. I both live on a farm and work in forestry and tree work and this knife is now a real worker. Spent the day teaching survival and bushcraft to some students. And it went great

This knife is outstanding. It’s built for woodcraft. Period. And it is best in class for heavy woodsman work. Heavy is the right word, this thing is a beast and perfect for being thocked into wood, pounded on to start splits, and treated almost like an axe, while still being capable of finer work like whittling. The sheath is as solid and practical ad the knife, and the ferro rod firestarter a nice bonus and similarly well made - no throw-away filler, it is also best in class make. This knife ignores gimmickry or eye-catching lines andinstead delivers on whats important: weighty enough to go right thru limbs, sturdy enough to never bend or break, ergonomic but plain where it makes sense (back of the blade is wide and flat to be easy to strike with a mallet, base of handle reinforced to serve as a hammer, no useless but eye catching frippery just the things that make the knife actually useful as a primary tool you can depend on.

What a beautiful knife..it’s very well crafted and the sheath is top notch. It is very sharp and well weighted and fits well in the hand. Definitely one of the best knives I’ve ever owned. Well worth the price

says 15.2 inches, i bought 2 of them, they are barley 14 inches, the knife is as good as the videos though, but you do NOT get what is advertised, this is the 3rd knife that i have bought in the last 3 days that has been short

I'm very pleased with this knife. It's big and hefty; fits perfectly in my hand. I have no doubts that it will be with me for the rest of my life. While it did have a decent sharpness to it out of the box, I gave it a sharper edge with a few minutes going over it with my sharpal. Then I sliced the box it came in into pieces with very little effort. It came with a very nice leather sheath, and a nice big fire-starter that works really well. Well worth the money. I would absolutely recommend this knife to anyone; it would be a fantastic gift to receive too :)

Excelente cuchillo, sirve prácticamente como un mini machete para hacer trabajos con ramas y poda, ademas de partir madera sin problemas. El filo es increíble.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this knife for the price. The blade arrived very sharp right out of the box and easily handled shaving paper and other cutting tasks. The DC53 steel appears to hold its edge well; after processing a roughly 10-inch spruce, I did not notice any chips or significant rolling along the cutting edge. The full-tang 6mm construction gives the knife a very sturdy feel, and the handle provides a comfortable grip during extended use. Fit and finish are better than I expected at this price point, with good attention to detail in both the knife and the sheath. Pros: • Very sharp out of the box • Thick, robust full-tang construction • Good edge retention so far • Comfortable grip • Excellent value for the money Cons: • Heavier than some users may prefer due to the thick blade stock • Sheath retention could be improved slightly (depending on personal preference) Overall, this has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a durable fixed-blade knife for outdoor use, camp tasks, or general utility work, it’s hard to complain at this price point. I would purchase it again. I don’t understand how is this knife the price it’s at. Craftsmanship, level of care and detail, arrived shaving sharp. Took down a 10 inch spruce and nothing, not even a dent of chip in the edge. Grab it before it’s sold out. Honestly. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

une vrai bête ce couteau . Une lame de 1/4 de pouce d épaisseur et 8 pouces de longueur tranchant comme un rasoikr a la sortie de la boite. Pour le prix il ne se fait pas mieux . Viens également avec une "ferro rod" de 3/8 de pouce de diametre par 3 1/2 pouces de longueur

Thick , heavy , sharp , great leather work , not sure if its real Damascus, but the pattern looks great , comfortable grip , if your looking for a big chopper, this would be a great addition to your collection!
