Knives Of Alaska

[texastonydobbs]

I purchased last summer knives of alaska brand knife called the cub bear,that little knife is pretty dang sharp and I use it for food prep;like small game/fish and that little knife I really like it,one of my favs when outdoors, Just wondering if anybody else uses this brand of knives (KOA) and there Experience with 'em or likes /dislikes. I have the rubber grip, it is 6.5" overall and 2.75" cutting edge made in the USA & Great little knife for the money ..

I have the Cub Bear and the Bush/Camp knife. I think they are D2 steel. I also prefer the Suregrip. I find them to be good, sturdy knives for the price. I use the Cub for skinning and field dressing my deer. I'm certain that I could even bone the whole deer with it if I were so inclined, or had to in an emergency, but I just go to a boning knife for that at home. The Bush/Camp knife is just that, a knife for use around the camp. I find it great for food prep and such around the camp. It could be a survival type knife if pressed into service, but there are probably better choices out there for that as far a length, blade steel and length, IMO. Overall, I like my KOA knives.

I think my KOA is AUS 8 steel, my knife did not state D2 as some of the other KOA did.I would also like to get the KOA axe...that thing looks great...

The Cub may be AUS 8, you're right.
