EF131 Fixed Blade Knife

Was originally looking for a USA made knife, but only wanted to spend 2 figures on a knife, not three figures. At that point, even most USA companies have their cheaper lines imported. So, taking the chance, and after seeing video reviews, I can definitely say this knife punches above its weight class. It is thick, it is heavy, it is sharp. I find it perfect for tossing around. Scales are excellent. Torx screws hold them on. Sheath converts to horizontal carry easy enough, although the inter-screws are not slotted nor hex shaped. This means that while tightening the screw portion, the backside will free spin. Either locktite or replacement inter-screws will remedy this. The sheath itself is a thin profile without extra molding. The overall length in sheath borders on too long for concealed horizontal carry along the back hips. This being said from someone with a 34” waistline. It starts to poke out on both sides with an overshirt covering it. For tactical wear, exposed, it would be totally fine. It doesn’t stick out far enough to snag on doorways or anything. Sheath retention of the blade is very positive, not worries of the blade falling out. The blade itself appears evenly ground and symmetrical. Grip size is great for hands that fit large sized gloves.

Excellent, strong and sharp knife. Fits comfortably in a medium sized hand. The only small downside is that the knife in its sheath makes a little noise when shaken.

First review out of the box with light use. The knife isn't very sharp out of the box and the grind was off some. Not a perfect edge. For that I took off a star. I ran it across some stones to fix the edge then stropped it and it's sharp now with a polished edge. I have some African Sapele hardwood laying around so I shaved a piece down to round the edges. It cut through the wood cleanly and very easily. The knife has some heft so it's not a light knife. But that heft also makes it easy to cut. It's comfortable in the hand and well balanced. As an owner of dozens of knives of every kind and price, I recommend this knife for sure. Especially when you take into account the quality and cost.

I love this knife, but I've struggle to define it's use. The handle is comfortable. The blade is sturdy and takes a good edge up to the odd grind at the point. That point is actually the reason I bought it. It intrigued me enough to wonder why they did it. I think it was done to allow a sharp point without loosing strength. I'd say they succeeded, but it left that leading inch or so kind of dull. I took a while and reprofiled it until I liked it. I still don't like it much as an outdoors knife, but it does well as a defense knife. The sheath keeps it secure but it will never be subtle. So if you don't need to worry about locals panicking and you want a large knife on your hip, buy it! Or if you are like me and just love knives buy it! If you want a knife to dress game and process wood, there are better knives for that job

This is a 5 star knife at for a decent price, it came super sharp as most Eafengrow knives do, feels very good in hand with micarta scales, thick blade stock DC 53 tuff steel holds an edge, has subdued tanto tip that will be strong in fact the whole knife all the way to the tip is thick and sharp . Kydex sheath is very good with solid lockup. Mounts either left right or sideways and not to heavy good for hiking and food prep

Perfect in all its craftsmanship. Tighten the screws on the handles nice and tight people.

A strong well made blade first use handle came loose I epoxied the handle to the tang and used red thread locker Over all with this issue out the way it’s a very tough blade Holds an edge well for its value/ cost. I stabbed it in 1/4 plywood Did a tip test in an oak log did not break It has a penetrating style tip but no guard to secure your hand from sliding down. Great sheath and great design I can see this for general military use with a blackened blade version Over all with handle glued I’m happy with it.

size is really nice its not to big and not to small it comes sharp and its functional to carry camping for small tasks and even medium tasks haven't put it through large tasks like buttoning wood and stuff like that but cutting ability is really well, it does have some sharp edges where sharp edges shouldn't be so it could be better but all in all its decent i especially like the thickness on the spine.
