4Great fire starter with free knife attached.
By David H. Clark
Let me make a few assumptions if you are considering buying this knife. 1) You are not planning on buying a $200 Gerber. 2) You do not consider yourself a survivalist but you do DVR Man Vs Wild. 3) You're buying as a gift for someone who DVRs Man Vs Wild. 4) In all honesty the biggest thing you have ever needed a "survival" knife for while camping is to Rambow open a bag of chips.

This was my first full tang knife and I honestly bought it thinking I could do more with it than I really can. Once I stopped trying to baton trees down with it and used it for what it really is, its a good knife. It easily beats any similarly priced folder or multi-tool (and hollow handle piece of junk) for back woods functionality, and its a very educational knife. Its pretty much just a chunk of stainless steel, so as long as you dont beat it to death, nothing can go wrong with it.
You must sharpen it. You must do something with the handle. (I went on youtube and learned how to para-cord a handle.) Ive used it as a spearhead, for making tent pegs and splitting kindling. All in all its a good tool that you can keep on you without ever knowing its there until you need it, and its great for opening bags of chips.
The firesteel on the other hand is incredible! If you have never used one before you will love starting fires with it. Knowing you can make fire without matches or lighters gives you a warm fuzzy feeling.

So I recommend owning this knife for the experience of of owning this knife. Also, consider a Mora, or Cold Steel Bushman.

5If you know anything about knives buy it.
By Kevin O'brien
ok a few things, first this is a full tang knife, and it comes with a fire starter. yes it comes blunter than a butter knife, and yes the rope grip is incredibly uncomfortable. BUT, the hilt has holes with makes re-wrapping the handle with some rope or para-cord very easy, once re-wrapped the handle is comfortable, also the steel is decent quality, so with a little sharpening the knife becomes very usable. bottom line 7$ and 10 minuets of your time and you have yourself a decent knife.

3Midget Survival Knife
By Serious Ed
First of all this knife is China stainless. The pseudo-paracord might as well be the yarn your grandmother knits with. You'll have to do a handle re-wrap. The blade comes dull and the sheath is cheap crap. It's a solid tang knife with a good feel once re-wrapped. The fire starter is really cool and works well. However, the blade scuffs easily. You can't complain too much given the price, But if you buy a knife of this type stick to the silver/raw/unpainted blade.
