Survivor HK-7526 Outdoor Fixed Blade Knife 7.5-Inch Overall, Green

Yes, it would be very helpful for survival if it makes it that far. This is a very handy small knife. I like the fact that it came sharpened. Not to the degree on thinks of shaving with it sharp, but sharp enough to accomplish many survival tasks ... cutting food, string, rope, small branches from trees for firewood, etc. In emergency, you can remove the handle wrapping and you have an emergency piece of thin rope. This is very light weight and since it looks military in drab green, I decided it would be handy in my boot. The case is holding up just fine and the knife is doing great. It is always handy and so far ... when I have a need to cut some really ugly stuff ... it has never failed. So far, it is holding the edge.

This thing is pretty darn small. I am 6'4 and have fairly large hands so my opinion may be biased, but there isn't enough handle to get a secure grip on this knife. The knife is basically a petite blade blank with some fake paracord loosely wrapped around it making the already precarious grip even more so. Otherwise, the blade itself comes mediocre sharp (but easily sharpened), the oversized clip point is thin and weak for any real labor. I'd say this knife could make a decent budget boot knife. It is thin and light weight. When considering a bug-out bag, bang for your buck is measured in weight and this thing weighs half of nothing so thats a big bonus. Until I find a better/lighter thin petite blade, this one has a place in my bug-out bag. I paid $5. 4 stars for the price.

small but very sturdy very sharp and well made the cord it the only issue but if properly taken care of a very useful small knife.

Good

I thought I had already wrote my review but it seems I have not.I ordered this knife mostly for its cheaper price and did not expect anything amazing. It took about a week to be delivered and did not have any shipping damage. When I opened the package I was shocked to see its size, I didn't put much thought into it while ordering. It is a full piece of steel being exactly 7.5 inches from tip to end. The handle barely fits my whole hand but after using it I have adjusted to its size. The cord on the handle has held up nicely without any tears or loosening. The blade is actually very sharp, though mine came with a few nicks on its face. Its nylon sheath is just like any others. If you intend to use the knife on a regular basis then I suggest investing into a nicer sheath.All in all it is a very nice knife for the price.

Great quality time

Really small. So small. Didn't expect it to be that small. Poor quality in the string? Not para cord don't be fooled. Blade was sharp.

I love the blade on this knife as well as the serrated backside is helpful and cutting things as wel,l only downfall is the handle. I have average sized men's hands and the hilt is a bit short , if your hands are larger it will be to short for you. that's the only reason I give it four stars instead of five. However the blade has performed well over time, when it began to dull from constant use I put it through a cheap field blade sharpener and it improved the sharpness of the blade quite a bit. I was pleasantly surprised and I use this knife very often.
