Hi all,
the Dajo Survivor is a cheap knife (few euros to buy, it's done in China) small and light, As per the name, he want to be a survival knife.
Here the link https://www.dajoadventuregear.com/products-page/knives/survivor/
The Dajo Survivor
The sheath is good both for vertical and horizontal carry
The sheath is obviously cheap, but not bad at all.
The Dajo is essentially a skeletonized knife, with 2 thin handles in G-10 riveted. The blade is 9,5 cm long and 3mm thick, the steel is 7Cr17MoWV, inox, tempered at 57 HRC
First test, cutting a 2cm diameter woods (acacia)
The weight of the Dajo it's minimal, so not good also for light chopping, anyway the cutting it's possible without problem.
The Dajo seems to be done to obtain a spear, let's go
The "spear" is quite tough, no damages
Let's carving, always, no problem
Using the firesteel, the small notch on the blade's spine it's for it, good results, sparks were done in good quantity
As a old and tired BG let's to prepare a Spring Snare Trap whit the Dajo: 6 pieces of woods and 2 metres of paracord
Done
A short footage

The Dajo at the end of this small test
I'm impressed. The Dajo seems to be good as a light, compact survival knife. My test lacks for anything in terms of "survival": no batoning, no skinning i.e. Anyway, I had good feelings using this knife, I was in doubt about the handle, so squared, but it's not bad at all, so the blade. In my opinion, a good knife.
It's late evening...bye, ciao Alfredo
