OERLA TAC OLK-033RD Fixed Blade Outdoor Camping Knife

Fit- Fits in hand better than any other knife I have in my collection.Steel- 420 High Carbon Stainless (420HC), not to be confused with plain 420, is one if the best durable stainless steels for the money. Larrin Thomas, expert steel metallurgist and author has graphs showing this 420HC is just as tough/durable as the expensive 14C28N and AEB-L stainless steels but with slightly less edge retention. (Source: Knife steel nerd website and books on amazon) 420HC is easy to sharpen so edge retention is not an issue for me. 420HC is superior blade steel to 440A,B,C steels.Thickness- Thick beefy blade and is full tangSheath- The knife clicks into the sheath and is retained well. The only improvements I would like to see is a click locking feature like the unique glock 79/81 series knives which retain the knife under any condition and change the belt clip to allow the sheath to rotate/swivel.

Awesome knife

Take what I write with a little reservation as I have only had this knife foe a few days and can't possibly attest to its long term durability at this time. That said, it feels solid. It is sharp right out of the box and the size is perfect for self close quarter self-defense and for general usage. I love the fact that it has a guard to prevent my hand from sliding onto the blade with rugged use. The sheath/holster is of great quality and can be attached to my belt. All-in-all, I think it was a fair buy for the price.

Don't sell this knife short. It is of high quality and durable for most applications you can expect to use it in. The knife is well crafted with every detail taken into consideration and used throughout the production process. The knife, out of the box, is sharp enough to cut through most ropes, branches, etc. The sheath is of good quality and capable of attaching to belts, straps, or packs (with a little modification need). The shape and design fit well into the hand and remains comfortable when used. Average size but could be larger. Its full tang gives it plenty of stability. Great knife to have available should you need an all-purpose go-to-knife in a pinch. Found it useful in the most extreme conditions and it served me well. Solid, practicable, and functional.

For the money, very well made and came very sharp.

Nice knife. Looks to be well made but I haven’t had time to use it or set it up for carrying. I do like the idea of carrying vertical or horizontal.

Fits my hand well and is very sharp, good thing I had some butterfly bandages on hand.

Beautiful knife. Crappy overly tight plastic case that's dangerous on release These cases are never smooth. Had to order a good leather case to carry this blade.
