Elk Ridge - Outdoors Fixed Blade Hunting Knife - 8 in Overall - Mirror Polished Blade with Burl Wood Handle, Nylon Sheath - Full Tang Bowie Knife - ER-107

This knife s a little smaller than I expected but is very well made. The wood grain handle looks amazing and is polished to a nice luster. The fit of the handle to the knife is superb. The finish of the blade and bolster is equal to the finish of the handle. The entire knife is well done and is just darn pretty. The cutting edge is uniformly ground but not the hair shaving sharp mentioned by other reviewers. It did require some touch up sharpening. For someone with large hands the knife may feel uncomfortably small. It is just about right for my average size hands but I wouldn't want it any smaller. And though I like the lusterous finish of the wood handle, it could be considered a bit slippery. As for the sheath, in a price range dominated by knife sheaths that are best described as cheap last minute afterthoughts, Elk Ridge has created a nice sturdy well fitting sheath with an equally nice retaining strap and snap. Overall, a great little knife and a superb value.

I searched for awhile for a blade that fit my needs as an edc blade and a day to day fishing hiking blade. It wasn't extremely sharp out of the gate but 10 minutes on a stone and it was plenty sharp. The pakkawood is somewhat soft yet durable. It is holding an edge nice for various cutting jobs. Gutted a 19" trout with it the other day. I've been carrying and using it daily for about a month now. I would recommend this knife for a utility blade that you won't worry about it being damaged or broken. I haven't batoned with it considering it's a small blade, although it's fine for whittling and feather sticking. The thumb jimping on the spine is very nice to the touch and gives good grip when wet or in gloves. Sheath wasn't that good, I replaced it with a kydex one that I made.

Was looking for a fixed blade for EDC that could replace my pocket knife. Wanted a blade about the same length & overall length as my pocket knife when it was open. Found this one & decided to give it a try. The price was right & I really liked the way it looks. It came sharp, I ran it on my strop a few times & it was razor sharp. I use my knife several times per day for work & at home. I decided to go all in & not take my trusty folder with me to work to see how a fixed blade would really work for me. Well, I'm a convert for sure now! A small fixed blade like this is a great EDC for me. Now, more about this knife. The handle is beautiful, it fits my hand excellent. The jumping is perfect for me & the blade length & grind really works nice. I was a bit concerned about the 440 steel, but it is holding a very nice edge & it is very easy to keep sharp with a few strokes with a rod & a few swipes on the strop. And it throws great sparks off a ferrol rod. This is a very nice looking knife, comfortable to use & the sheath holds it very well & is comfortable when wearing it on my belt. For the price of this knife & its functionality you really cant go wrong with it if you are looking for a fixed blade of this size.

Came out of the box very sharp. After some good use the knife was in very good condition. Very good size handle and blade to work with.

I have to admit, I was excited opening up this package to hold my knife! I was a bit bummed out to see how small it actually was. It seemed much wider in the picture and that's what i wanted, also I thought the blade was a light matte finish but maybe its just the lighting in the picture. The handle is smooth..too smooth and if you don't have a firm grip on it, it may slip out of your hand. It's too bad the handle has no finger grooves. The sheath is a nice add to it, its constructed well and will last a long time if taken care of properly. Pls ELK RIDGE make BIGGER WIDER KNIVES!

I'll start with the bad news first. The sheath is a hazard from day one. I had the knife in the sheath on my belt for less than a full minute before the knife had severed the stiching causing the blade to protrude through the side of the sheath! I found this defect with my thumb and was rewarded with an inch long bloody gash. I have ordered a leather sheath from another seller that reviews well. Now on to the knife. I was very happy with the fit and finish for a knife in this price range. The blade is razor sharp and has a great looking handle. All in all I'd say it is a good working knife once you sort out the sheath.

Small size, good looks, good feel, full tang. For a great price. I paid $12 on Amazon. I just received it and therefore cannot judge steel quality or performance. The finish is excellent compared to Pakistan knifes I own. The only flaw I could find is the tang not being flush with the scales at the back of the grip which makes for two sharp edges in your hand. The sheath is of the better kind of nylon, pretty stiff and dense and hard to penetrate with the knife tip while inserting. My knife did not come very sharp so I did not see it splitting the sheath (or cutting paper) yet like others. I would like to see this beautiful knife in a genuine leather sheath instead of the ugly black "tactical gear". But I'm not complaining considered what I paid for. The best cheap knifes I own are Made in China.

Just received the knife. I was disappointed that one of the burl wood scales has 2 small chunks missing out of it as well as a few deep scratches in it (hard to see in the picture). I wasn't expecting perfection, but this scale should have been discarded at the factory. The blade appears decent, but I'm not sure I'll keep this long enough to find out how good it is.

Perfektes Messer ! Keine Mängel feststellbar. Super guter Anschliff . Alles passt !

Lo compre por el precio tan bajo, sinceramente no esperaba mucho pero ha resultado ser muy buen cuchillo, no soy experto ni nada por el estilo, lo compre para tenerlo en mi auto para alguna emergencia. El tamaño es perfecto para mi mano, tiene muy buen agarre a pesar que el mango no es 100% madera, es una mezcla de madera y plastico, le da bonito aspecto. No se siente barata pero tampoco es la mejor calidad, (si quieres algo asi vas a pagar bastante por una de madera y un acero de mejor calidad). El porta navaja es de un material sitentico tipo nylon, cumple con proteger la navaja pero tampoco es de mucha calidad pero es bastante comodo para colgarlo de tú cinturón.

This is a great knife. I bought it as a gift and it was a hit.

mi dispiace recensire questo coltello con 2 stelline perche potrebbe essere un valido prodotto lama molto affilata , bell' impugnatura , esteticamente bello , non mi esprimo sul materiale della lama perche non sono un esperto ma sembra di buona qualita' il problema e' il manico pieno di difetti , fori e cricche del legno di per se non pregiudica il funzionamento del coltello oltretutto sono anche piccoli difetti ma il principio per cui una cosa che compro non deve avere questi difetti in un negozio fisico non lo avrei comprato adesso c'e' la possibilita' del reso ma per la cifra e' per il difetto irrisorio e' pur sempre una scocciatura e va bene cosi' pero' il produttore deve curare di piu' i suoi coltelli quindi il mio giudizio non e' positivo

Mientras más conozco los productos de Elk Ridge más satisfecho estoy con la gran calidad de sus cuchillos. Tienen un precio muy bajo, y tienen una gran calidad en sus materiales, fortaleza de construcción y detalles del acabado. Lo recomiendo al 100%. No se arrepentirán de adquirir este gran producto.
