So, I recived my Master Hunter from warriors and wonders today, and it took a hole two days get here!;):D

I was surprised to find it was a bit bigger than I though it would be, which is a good thing, the blade was wider,thicker and longer than I invisioned it;
all pluses for me. The fit and finish was also better than I thought it would be, im not sure on the handle yet as I haven't done any testing, but we'll find out this weekend. The sheath isnt bad, the knife fits in good, no rattling. Also, a feature I like is that you can adjust the ride hight, this is good because I like my knives high and tight, which this deliver's. It has a good positive handle, the blade is sharp as the dickin's, removes hair like crazy.

All in all, It's 1 of my two favorite belt knives (Sog Revolver-H is the other :D) Now for some pics (how could I not :D)

Best picture I've taken in a while.

Looks rearing to go. Looking forward to your review. Have a safe trip and Happy Birthday!:D
 
Congrats. I always found the MH to be a great knife. I wish I would have kept my carbon V version, don't let yours go! :D.
 
Nice knife Fonly and a great first pic ! You struck lucky mate getting one in Carbon V !!!
Enjoy your trip to the river and take plenty of pics !!!
 
I think that blade design is just what a utility knife should be-- flat, broad, straight spine-- strong, batonable, easy to sharpen.

Has anyone compared the Cold Steel Master Hunter to the Fallkniven F1 or others of similar design?

I got a Browning Mako Pro on Ebay a while back and it's another no frills sharp tool.

Enjoy your new toy-- don't poke holes in the boat with it :D
 
hey, I just did something to the Sheath, give me a few and Ill show ya'll :D
 
I wanted the sheath to be a little sleeker, and thinner, so I took the back belt loop plate of my harsey hunter, and put on the MH sheath. Fits extremely well, almost like it was made for it :rolleyes:

I have the stainless. It's a VERY practical knife and I've used mine for many years .Blade and handle shape I think are ideal. I've completely dressed, butchered and skinned deer.Done the same with geese . ETC ,ETC !!!
 
In another thread, I was asking about this one since it seems similar enough to the F1 to invite comparison.

Just how big is it? I'd like about a 4" blade for my next fixed blade.

The blade is right at 4.5". I love this knife, for me this wins over the F1 becuase of the carbon blade, I prefer carbon steel now.
 
The CS in CV is a great knife. I'm a CS 'hater" for the most part, but tried the MH and it was very well put together. Normally I would just trash CS..... but I can't anymore.

Congrats....... CS make a good one with the MH in CV:thumbup:

Look how many time I abbreviated.........;)
 
Does anyone know which steel is tougher, Carbon V or the San Mei III? I'm thinking about picking one up but am torn between the 2 steels it comes in.

I agree 100%, I will never buy another CS product, I hate them, but love the knife :D If thats allow to make sense. I know for me, the MH was the choice because it didn't have all that crap that other CS products had. It was sold, and marketed as a hard use hunting knife. :thumbup:

No I don't..... but I can tell you that I would wait for a carbon V. Many.... MANY here will attest to the same thing!

I agree. Usually the first thing I do with almost anything I get, is try to make it better somehow. Haven't yet figured out how to make my MH better, other than patina/cold blue the blade.
 
The CS San Mai III isn't worth the extra money .I think it has a poor choice of steels for the $.
