I first seen this knife in a military surplus store about a year ago, where it retailed for $70. At first glance through the glass counter, I was a little unimpressed, until I held it. This knife is a solid piece of 8cr14, fine edge, very generous finger chole, and comes with a decent MOLLE nylon sheath. I hesitated to buy this knife at first glance. I found some store on Ebay selling these knives for a bit under what I first seen them sale for, so I pulled the trigger on one. Once I got it, I found that I liked it so much that I bought 4 more. I gifted two, and kept 3 for my self. This knife batons, bushcrafts, does fine work with ease and super control due to the excellent finger chole and comfortable handle. Mine are some of the older ones, which IMO are the best ones since they are made with 8cr14 instead of the newer ones that are made with 7cr17.
I own many "high end knives" and have grown accustomed to them. So I guess my question is, does anybody own this knife, or have experience with it. If so, is your opinion of this knife good, or bad? Am I crazy for liking this knife so much lol?? I am super curious for some feedback concerning this knife from other people since there is VERY little advertising for this knife, and VERY little feedback on the web concerning this knife.
Anybody have any feedback on this blade?????
The link above is a pic of the blade. This knife is made by IWI (Israeli Weapons Industries).
