DC53 Steel 38CM (15.2IN) Full Tang 6mm Thick Fixed Knife+Sheath&(5.9IN) Cerium Igniter, Suitable for Outdoor Hunting, Camping, Survival Exploration, EDC

It is a very sturdy knife with a very strong blade, it also has a beautiful sheath. The firestarter is very much durable as well. And the blade is sharp.For someone with pretty decent sized hands I can say this knife will work and fit like a charm.It is definitely worth the price they are asking, if anything I believe it is worth a little more.

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.

This is not a high quality knife and sheath but for the money it is exceptional. It's a real heavy chopper that rivals the BK9. Surprisingly good fit and finish and comes sharp. IMO, an improvement would be a pouch on the sheath for the included fire steel and a slightly larger lanyard hole (that would be 5 stars). You also have to be careful when drawing and inserting the knife in the sheath to not cut the retaining strap. Overall a good value and recommended.

Good knife, fit & finish is good and I like the hefty and thick blade. I'm mostly a collector, and this knife is a good piece. 👍 👍

The media could not be loaded. I’m an avid knife collector, outdoorsman, martial artist and ex military. Ive purchased SOG, Buck, ColdSteel, ESEE etc. So I wanted something from the budget category to horse around in the woods with without beating up one of my more expensive knives. Well let me tell you, this thing is in the same class as the others in my collection. Came hair shaving sharp out of the box, the sheath is nice, thick durable and beautiful. This knife is pretty hefty, you can definitely tell the quality when you hold it. The steel it’s made of holds an edge exceptionally well and is tough. The ferro rod it came with is very nice as well. I would TOTALLY trust this stranded in Alaska, in a combat zone or showing it off to my friends at the next bonfire party! For $39, it’s a STEEL of a deal! Toss one in your Bug Out Bag. I’m ordering another one.

Everything you read on this knife in the description and reviews is 100% correct. I would put this knife up to any one of Tops larger knives in the chopping category. Leather is cow leather and needs to be treated with leather conditioner or bacon fat works great. Sheath is really nice and they even have leather stamping designs for that customized look.Feel, weight, thickness of the blade is awesome,You will need to strop the blade to make it great, to a fine edge and easy to sharpen.The fire steel is harder but the spark is actually hotter! The striker is good but if you try the back blade of house hold scissors you’ll get better results.…then say Uberleben fire steel’s,They are softer materials..hence the showering effect. Go for it !

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++
