8″ Hunting/Survival Knife

Product Review (submitted on November 21, 2010):

I bought this knife on a lark a while back. Not too long ago, we were hiking in the Amazonian jungle, not far from the territory of the dreaded mologo-longo tribesmen. The hike went great for the first nine months, and the knife performed excellently at cutting down teak trees, some of them about 18 feet in circumference, and carving them into canoes for our ventures down the river. Also, I killed several 20+ foot crocodiles that had tormented our cargo bearers during the night, and I used the small compass exclusively after the GPS system we had malfunctioned in one of the most desolate mountainous rainforest regions in the world. The small expense of the knife was made very much worth it after we were attacked by the cannibals of the mologo sort early during the rainy season. I carved a blow gun for each of our party members and darts out of the hard ebony bamboo that is indigenous to the area. The razor sharp edge made fine work easy, and the quality of the steel was such that resharpening was easy on the igneous rock all over the floor of the valleys. The heft of the knife made hacking through the heavy liana vines and very heavy underbrush a simple affair. Unfortunately, several of our bearers were trapped in maylay mantraps set by the savages, and I had to infiltrate the savages’ camp by moonlight. I wrapped the knife with cloth that had been soaked in lantern fuel, and lodged a one-man sneak attack just with the flaming knife and my own bare hands. It became a very hairy situation, and I thought I was done a couple of times, but I was able to stab, slash and bash with the knife to the point that the savage cannibals ran screeching into the darkened jungle, terrorized by the “white devil with the blade of fire”. I cut our porters out of their makeshift cages, but unfortunately the mologos had already been “at them” with their sharpened teeth and left little human-looking remains. All in all, the knife is a great addition to anyone’s tool or tackle box, or it could possibly included in the survival cache of the space shuttle or the space station, in case the titanium hull and superstructure of the craft should need to be manually breached in an emergency.
