Szco Supplies 8.5” Classic Wood Handle Full-Tang Fixed-Blade Patch Knife with Leather Sheath,Brown

Third time is the charm. I really like the esthetic of this knife. A real Kephardt style vibe.I first bought one about a year ago. The blade was a mess it looked like it had only been sharpen on one side of the blade. I returned it. About 6 months ago I bought it again. The blade was OK but the scales were away from blade and on one side the wood was cracked. I returned it.A couple days ago I bought for the 3rd time. It arrived razor sharp, the scales are aligned perfectly, the pins secure and flush to the wood. Very pleased. $13.31 with delivery, can't beat it.

Fit was excellent. Sheath sturdy and very well constructed with no dingle balls hanging off it. Blade symmetrical but dull (don't buy a knife if you don't know how to sharpen it). I did notice a small crack in the handle after my review, but it seems minor and if it ever breaks, I will just epoxy it back together. Knife fits very snugly into the sheath, no worries it will fall out. The belt loop seems a bit thin, but is apparently strong enough to last and double stitched to the sheath. I wear GI issue web belts and that is about as large a belt as the loop will accomodate. I think it will hold up. It easily strikes a spark from a ferro rod. Will update review after I have sharpened and used it.Ordered a second one just to see if they are consistent and will toss it in the glove compartment of my car if it is close to the quality of the first one. It will make an adequate and inexpensive emergency knife.UPDATE: Second knife - The second knife had some familiar issues if you read other reviews. First the good, though. The fit of scales was excellent as was the condition of the scales. Knife shiny, no rust or pitting. Now the bad. All four of the small pins on the haft were sticking up. I think I am going to have to file them flush with the scales. The large pins were fine. Knife was not sharp and the edge had one spot that was not even with the rest of the edge but only on one side. It is bad enough that I will need to re-profile the edge to clean it up. If this knife cost over $30, I would be very unhappy. Since is cost $10, I may keep it or exchange it and see if my luck is better with another knife. Undecided at this point. The sheath on the second knife was just like the sheath on the first knife. No issues.UPDATE TWO: In the end I decided to return the knife to see what I got the third time. The return process was super easy. Two of the return options were to just drop the knife off at a UPS or other store, no packing required. I picked that option. I had my third knife in two days. The small pins were still raised on the third knife, but a couple were flush on one side. The grind on the blade was perfect and this one was actually sharp. The fit of the scales was slightly worse on the third knife as i can see a tiny bit of the haft of the blade for about an inch on one side of the scales, but can't really feel it unless I run my fingernail over it. I may wrap the scales of both good knives with friction tape anyway. The sheath for the third knife is pretty much identical to the first sheath. The second sheath was a bit thinner.CONCLUSION: I feel that these knives are a steal and if there are issues, they are super easy to return. Still recommended. Will do an update after using both knives. Still wondering why there is a California Cancer Warning label on the box of all three knives. i suspect it has something to do with chemicals used in processing the sheath. I got no answer to this my question about this.

Overall, a very attractive knife. Simplistic in the extreme, feels good in the hand. Overall, it appears to be well built, albeit somewhat rough finishing. It's good for bushcraft, and similar chopping type tasks. For about $13 bucks, it's a great value. Feels much more bespoke then a $13 knife from Walmart, that's for sure! The sheath it comes with is very low quality, essentially a throw away. So I imagine that's why the blade is so cheap. But again, for the price, it gets 5 stars. I plan on buying about 3 more, come payday.

MAde in Pakistan, good value, for the kids, thick blade should be durable and easy to sharpen when they abuse it. Good all around size for bush craft. Good serviceable sheath.

I see reviews every where about this knife and sheath, mostly unfavorable, but I disagree. The one I bought was used, price was $10.00 instead of $13.00. came to me in the box, which was a little rough, but the knife and sheath were wrapped like new, even had the plastic point protector on the blade. Knife was sharp, not shaving sharp but good enough to cut most anything. Sheath was good quality leather, not Italian leather but well stitched cow Hyde that the knife fit perfectly. My opinion, can't be at it for good quality at this price point. Highly recommend it.

This is definitely a sweet budget knife that is suitable for just about any light around the campfire type of work you might need a blade for. If that’s what you’re after and like the unusual aesthetic of this blade, I’d say get it!The GoodThe whole knife is just appealing to me. Its comfortable to hold, the handle and blade proportions are great and the sheath is a good fit. I LOVE the sheath for this knife. The leather is aged and worn looking and has a nice stamp pattern on it. The knife sits nice and deep in the sheath. It’s not going to fall out easily, but still leaves plenty of handle to grip when drawing it. The belt loop makes the whole thing sit a little high on your hip, but I honestly prefer this.The BadIf you are looking for perfection, you will likely be disappointed. He wood handle was a little ragged around one edge (nothing a little sandpaper didn’t mend) and as I mentioned the leather of the sheath is beat up and worn.The VerdictThis is a unique, sturdy knife with a lovely sheath. I am very pleased with, and would definitely recommend it (especially for $12)!

I'll start by saying yes it's worth the cost, and then some.You have to consider cost when something literally cost the same as a Happy meal, but this is still a great knife. Things I like far outway the bad but here they are:It's got a great little sheath for the money, seems to hold up but time will tell. I love the profile and thickness of blade. To not make this too long the only bad is the grind, sheath height, QC. The grind was so off it took me an hour of profiling to get a 25° angle on this. Steel isn't the strongest, it will need comstant sharpening if your doing "Bushcraft" with it. The blade rides high on your side (see pic) which could cause interference with movement. Overall I'm very happy with the blade and I did abuse it yesterday quite a bit and it never broke. Decent knife
