I love knives like this. Good carbon steel with a nice wooden handle. Of course I use my kitchen once about every six months, so using it as a kitchen knife is not in its future. Keep this in mind as we go forward.The blade is like the old knives; carbon steel with what I guess are marks from some type of roll markings. The old ones I have seen have the same depressions, so it may be paying homage to the old school ones. The blade is about 1/8" thick. Fairly good stiffness and smooth tapering clip point. The bevel was even, and the grind was fine. A full burr was left on left side of the blade. Not a big deal for the price point and a guy with an Edge Pro!The handle is a two piece slab style with two large brass pins attaching the two sides to the full tang. The wood surprised me, actual black walnut. It has a thin lacquer finish that I will remove immediately and replace with BLO. But a good straight grained heart walnut was a nice surprise on a $10 dollar knife.Overall a great value for the price. The steel is like the old ones, the handle is hand-filling and of good walnut. Still made in the USA! Will make a great general purpose camp knife. Would recommend.
