- Reviewed in Canada on January 27, 2023Specifications:
鈥 Blade thickness: 3.6 mm & 2.1 mm
鈥 Total blade length: 5.8 inches & 4.1 inches
鈥 Made in China
鈥 Fuller ("blood groove") on one side only (the big knife, the small one has no fuller)
The manufacturer says it is a full tang. It is really hard to believe that: the handle is so light that the tang has to be very thin ("rat tail") if it is full. It does not make an impression of a strong sturdy unbreakable knife! But the handguard and everything else fit tight and do not rattle.
Condition: 5 stars. No defects, scratches, stains or rubs.
Sharpness: 5 stars. They were pretty good out of the box, I honed them a bit more and now they are shaving-sharp, especially the smaller one.
Sheaths: 5 stars. The knives fit tight, no problems with the sheaths so far, but鈥 but I have another Mossy Oak knife, a bigger one (10-inch blade 鈥 see pics), and it has exactly the same sheath but larger. After a few months, the plastic insert disengaged from that sheath, and now every time I pull that knife out of its sheath it comes out with that plastic insert! I tried to fix it with superglue but it didn't work out. But it is THAT sheath, from THAT knife 鈥 these ones are okay so far. Maybe one of the reasons is that I don't use these knives nearly as often as the big one, which I use nearly every time I go to the woods.
Handle: 4 stars. When the leather gets dry it expands a little and does not cling tightly to the handle anymore. I submerged it in warm water and the leather shrank back. It is a good idea to apply some leather conditioner as well. The handle of the bigger knife seems a little thin for my regular-sized hand; the smaller one is just... small.
Sturdiness: 3 stars (big) and 2 stars (small). I tried the bigger knife at some basic woodwork, like whittling and light-duty chopping. Nothing remarkable in terms of cutting performance :(( But it did not fall apart but I'm afraid to put it to a more strenuous test.
In general, these knives look fabulous on a display but it is hard to imagine them in any heavy-duty work.
