ER-052

I bought one of these in 2017 for myself. I found it to be a pretty great all-around knife if you’re ok with exchanging utility of use for the inconvenience of a bulky, large-ish, fixed blade knife. It’s inexpensive enough that you can really put it to work without fear. A friend of ours really dug it, so I gifted him mine. I’ve been missing that knife for a couple years, so I ordered and just received a new one. I’m pretty pleased overall with this knife. It’s heavy in the way you’d want a tool like this to be. It comes very sharp and holds an edge pretty well. Handle is sturdy and pretty, but the pins have some edges as does the spine of the blade through the handle which could be annoying. It’s an inexpensive Chinese knife that foots the bill really well dollar-for-dollar in my experience.

This is a great hunting or fishing knife! Yes, the handle is somewhat small, however after putting it on my belt. I realized that is part of what makes this such a great knife. It rides on Your belt like it is not even there. The smaller handle unlike the normal large handle does not stick out and make it bulky while You are wearing it. Yet it is not so small that it is not fully useful while in hand. In other words it is a trade off, but it also makes this the most comfortable knife of this type I have ever worn. Yes it has some minor flaws that only become apparent .......when VERY closely..... scrutinized. None are noticeable during normal handling without over eye balling. Mine came sharp enough to shave forearm hair with. I feel You must consider these faults along with the price You are paying to be fair. I will gladly take these with this price without complaint. Make no mistake this is a comfortable, sharp, useful knife at a GREAT price. I will order several for gifts this year. Also the sheathe is nice, and I love how the snap is operated from front to rear(to unsnap). That really makes it easy to unsheathe while on Your belt. I also rubbed it with canola (cooking) oil and a paper towel and it made the sheathe look fantastic! Pull the trigger on this one.

I like it, not enough for five stars, but I like it. One of the other reviews said it was smaller than expected and I can agree with that, but that's not a negative. It is a very handsome, well built, sturdy and sharp piece of steel. There must have been a leather shortage when they made the sheath because they used precious little of it. You really have to jam the knife into it and then force the snap to shut, but it does shut firmly and securely. That's really unimportant. I have yet to buy a knife for the sheath. This is a good addition to my collection of fixed blade knives. It sports a full tang and a very nice wood or simulated wood handle and the weight of the knife feels just right for its size. I too am a big guy with big hands, but didn't feel as though the knife got lost, there's plenty of gleaming, sharp blade to prove that I am holding one. I don't know how this knife or any of my knives would stand up under hard use because I don't use them that way, I collect knives for my own personal viewing pleasure. I don't hunt, crawl through rain forests, fight crocks or whittle so if you are looking for a review for that kind of stuff, this ain't it. This is a sharp knife that comes in a skimpy leather sheath. It is not a toy and should not be within the reach of children.

This is a incredible knife for the price and quality. I have been a carrier of fixed blades for many years, as I spend 1000s of hours a year riding a Harley on the open road and never know what I will encounter. A good tool is a necessity. I have tried out many styles and brands and am very impressed with this knife. This knife is of good size, but not too big to carry. The quality is great, 440 Stainless (same as a Buck), full tang, with a very sharp edge out of the box, with a standard quality leather sheath with a handle snap. A nice thing about the sheath is the snap is low so the wearer's shirt can slide behind the handle of the knife, keeping it exposed and legal for carry (in CA anyway). The only downside is that the sheath doesn't come with a inner slice guard, so the quick handed may damage it if not careful. In summary, the price and the quality make this an incredible knife and I am 100% happy with my purchase.

I like this knife. The materials seem like they are of good quality. I like the shape and feel of the knife. The leather sheath is very high quality and looks great. However, the knife with it's great materials has flaws which are representative of the price range for a knife like this. The metal and the wood don't fit flush, there are large gaps where the blade and the hilt were forged together, and the bonding/filler material for gaps (like tar) is not contained to the gaps but flows over. I will use the knife, keep it, and like it but because of the level of integration on it, I won't be too worried about losing it while hunting. The knife is as pictured, but the flaws don't represent custom construction, just not quite up to par with other knives that are typically 3x this price. I don't see the flaws causing this to fall apart and I'll find some epoxy or something to fill gaps at the handle interface. There are also fairly deep machining marks on one side at the 'double blood grooves' which are about 1/8" apart and too deep to polish out. I used a cheapo sharpener that I got on Amazon to sharpen the blade when I got it. It is a ceramic sharpener. I found that the 440 steal seems a bit softer than expected as the sharpener easily put a curve on the sharp edge of the knife.... I could probably know more about sharpening.If you can put up with a few flaws as I've mentioned, get this knife. I plan to carry it for hunting next year. It is on par or slightly lower quality than those pakistan knives they sell at gun shows, but more style to it than those.

Tut mir leid das sagen zu müssen , aber die Verarbeitung ist echt eine Katastrophe ! Ich bin Sammler und Bushkrafter . Ich habe nun 4 Messer dieser Marke zum Testen gekauft und nur eines ist Okay . Dieses hier angebotene Messer hat bei den Blutrinnen Verformungen durch den Gesenkschmiedevorgang . Der Bereich der Holschliff-Flanken kann als Nagelfeile benutzt werden . Dadurch schaut die Klinge sehr bescheiden aus. Vorn die zwie aufgenieteten Backen haben einen Spalt und sind schlecht gefinisht . Der rest ist okay ! Liebe Händler ! Bitte macht eine etwas bessere Qualitätskontrollen bevor ihr solch eine Wahre versändet . Eure Kunden danken es euch !

Eccellente coltello, dalle giuste dimensioni e pregevole fattura, acciaio di qualità. Buona impugnatura. Da migliorare il manico in legno visto la bellezza del coltello. Il fodero in cuoio è bello, utile ed essenziale. Nel complesso gran nell'oggetto dall'eccezionale rapporto qualità-prezzo! La consegna poi Amazon è come sempre precisa ed accurata.

Tenía dudas para comprarlo. No conocía la marca. A más de un año de comprarlo y otros cuchillos de Elk Ridge estoy sorprendido de la gran calidad de estos productos y a precios muy bajos. El acero es inoxidable 440 muy bueno. Se siente muy bien, se ve muy bien, se aprecia que son materiales de buena calidad, da sensación de fortaleza de construcción. El afilado de fábrica no es muy bueno pero con una pequeña afilada con carburo y cerámica quedó súper !! Lo recomiendo al 100%

Un buen cuchillo full tang de excelentes materiales , su hoja en acero inoxidable y su mango de madera lo hacen muy sólido , con su guarda en acero le da un agarre muy bueno junto con su forma ergonómica y su tamaño lo hacen el compañero necesario en cualquier salida al campo , 100% recomendable.

Costo contenuto e coltello ben fatto. Lo si sente pure dal peso che non è fatto con materiali scadenti. E pure ben affilato
