## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will I definitely receive the new black version?**
A: 2/2023

The knife I received is dark or smokey grey — could easily pass for black.  

The handle inserts are extremely coarse — similar to 80 grit sandpaper, enabling a secure grip.

**Q: How do you slide it on a belt. The clip doesn't work**
A: It’s not meant to be s belt clip. Just a belt snap or pant snap. It’s primarily set up for a boot style clip to the top of the boot.... or just inside of the pants. 
Ulti clip is one of the best... for secure hold. 
Good luck.

**Q: What kind of steel is this blade made from?**
A: 52100 steel. It’s a high quality steel. Used for ball bearings.

**Q: where is the knife made?**
A: Mine say Taiwan printed on the blade

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect survival knife!
*by N***K on September 5, 2025*

I am legitimately blown away by the quality and value of this knife. I have been a survivalist for more than 20 years and this is my new favorite knife. When it comes to survival knives, they have to be dependable because your life may depend on them. And this one hits every single mark, It's perfect! Perfect steel, perfect length, the drop point is perfect. It feels so good in your hand. The grip panels are as grippy as sandpaper yet still comfortable to the touch. Full tang is great and all but nothing beats one solid piece of drop forged steel. For the past ten years, I've used a Gerber Strong Arm in the field. Great knife but this one is SO MUCH BETTER and it's 25% cheaper! The only thing that falls short is the sheath, the Strong Arm sheath is slightly better. It's not bad but you can tell it's a bit on the cheaper side and it's not nearly as impressive as the knife itself. I may look into getting a custom leather sheath made in the future, but the one that it came with will do fine for now. I watched a ton of videos of people beating the crap out of this knife and it never even lost an edge. This is by far my best Amazon buy ever. This is the kind of knife that could last generations. I will be using it for the rest of my life and one day I'll pass it down to my son. I've spent entire paychecks on high-end survival knives but I'll take this one into the field over those any day. I really can't say enough good things about it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only knife to overthrow nations with.
*by B***  on July 23, 2025*

This knife is amazing. Incredible durable, great steel takes and holds an amazing edge. Good size great weight. With this blade I could build shelter, gather food, firewood, hunt and process game, complete surgery and overthrow nations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent knife and sheath
*by A***R on December 5, 2024*

The knife appears to be indestructible, with an integral metal handle and hard handle slabs. The hard handle slabs are not as comfortable as the rubber on most CS knives, but is not objectionable. The design is excellent and well made, with an excellent blade shape. The only downside might be the extra weight in the handle, though this allows for easy and quick control of the blade. The edge is sharp out of the box, but probably not up to some user's standards. CS states the hardness is 58-59 hrc, which is plenty hard enough for a good knife and should not be brittle. My first sharpening of the blade included a mild reprofile of the factory edge. The steel responded well to traditional sharpening methods and produced an extremely sharp edge with a little effort. The drop forging process should, in theory, produce a better blade than simple flat stock removal knife production (most good axe/hatchet heads are drop forged). The Secure-Ex sheath is well made, nice fitting and comfortable to carry. 52100 steel is excellent for both durability and edge holding, so I expect this knife to perform any task very well. At the current price, this knife may be the best value available for this size and style of knife. Considering the weight and the 8 inch blade, this is more knife than most hunters or campers will need or want to carry on a typical outing; however, if the plan is a wilderness experience of indefinite length, the Survivalist might be the best choice. A good knife to have in any situation. My personal thought is the design of this knife is in response to the popularity of batonning, a trend not favored by us old timers.
