ODENWOLF W-Catcher Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath - Large Hunting-Knife made of D2 steel - Big Fixed Blade Knives with Non-Slip TPE Handle - Full Tang Survivalknife for Outdoor Activities

A fine weapon. Well balanced for both slashing and stabbing, it appears to be well made. It should come a bit sharper than it did, but the edge is adequate as is. The sheath (in contrast to those of some other fine knives) is as good as the knife. Unlike many Kydex-type sheaths, it has a sturdy nylon belt loop allowing it to be hung comfortably. The sheath holds the knife securely, but doesn't "strangle" it, allowing a quick and smooth draw. An interesting sheath feature is that the retention strap has a female snap cup on both sides, allowing the strap to be folded and snapped to itself underneath the hilt, allowing for a faster draw. Although it can perform some "survival" tasks it isn't designed to be a "camp" knife of use for skinning, butchering, whittling, or batoning. Since use as a weapon is its primary function, I'd like to see it as a true short sword with a 12-15" blade---which I think would sell very well, even with the necessary price increase. It's reasonably priced for what you get, and those who buy it strictly as a weapon (or conversation piece) will not be disappointed. Note: A number of jurisdictions---even some with lenient gun laws---ban the carry of double edged knives. The same company makes the same knife with a more tapered, single edged blade; which I have also purchased, and like for the same reasons. Though also not really designed as a camp knife, it would definitely be more functional in that regard. This one also came a bit sharper, and resembles a bayonet blade. Most closely, that of the Lee Enfield Mark III, minus about 4".

Nice sturdy blade and weight. Good price

As others have said, this is lighter weight than some similar products, but feels sturdy enough for purpose, which would not be chopping firewood. Sharpens up fairly well, and has an effective looking blade shape with deep fullers. The handle, while initially seeming plasticky, does have a good degree of tackiness similar to the old Cold Steel handles, and stays in the hand well enough. Might be a good choice for a load out where weight is a concern, or for those of lesser stature or strength, as it is easy to both carry and use. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the belt loop, so I put a cheap knock-off tek-lok clip on the back, to increase security and ride height. Decent for the $, and useable for its intended purpose.

Great product.

Beautiful sharp tough great knife for camping

Came sharp in very nice packaging with a little envelope with well done information and care tips. Tip and edge has good retention so it can be used in bushcraft to good effect. Handle is a good textured grip for if your hands get wet,Sheath has a drain hole at the bottom which is a common problem with other brand's and has a very tight fit so you can count on it staying in there until you need it even through extra physical activities such as hiking and making camp. The only real thing I have a problem with is the velcro on the strap of the Sheath, it's not the best quality and has a tendency to undo itself when attached to a pack or belt though that's nothing a little paracord dosen't fix so it's a good idea to attach it firmly to prevent losing it in the woods. Also one last thing that I really appreciated was the silica gell pack that came in the box,most people don't ship with those and as someone who lives in an extremely humid environment that's awesome to prevent rust during the usually weeks long runaround the USPS puts us through.

This looks very much like the improve Applegate Fairbairn Smatchet. But at a reasonable price. It’s big and has a front heavy balance. The handle is large enough for a secure grip. Unlike the originals the handle is polymer. And so is the sheath (instead of leather. The knife also looks like a shrunk Roman Gladius. I bought it mainly because it looks like a Smatchet. For heavy duty, I prefer the Cold Steel Recon Scout or Trail Master. But this knife is good to go. Should make a good camp knife

Pros: Beautiful knife; decent price; lighter than expected; best grip of any of my knives; do not recommend for hacking or abuse. Cons: The snap closure on the scabbard nylon strip broke off on first use; replaced it with Velcro. (Could have replaced knife easily but don’t trust the snap no-mo.)
