Elk Ridge Evolution Fixed Blade Knife - ERE-FIX001-BK

After customizing the cheap sheth a bit with velcro on the retainer and accessories pouch and removing the aggravating snap and huge buckle plus sanding the black crud off the blade and adding some yellow plastic liners made from one of those yellow plastic guyline markers the power company left in the yard after fixing hurricane Sally damage to a power pole.I love this knife for the price and it actually is a good value for the money and I plan on doing a few more modifications to it like maybe reshaping the blade entirely to take the hollow grind out of it and make much more bushcrafty and possibly making a molded yellow plastic sheth out of the same material as the liners to make it molle compatible.I'd also like to incorporate the little accessories pouch into the new sheth somehow because it's the perfect size for my good sharpening stone and small ferro rod.I really like the little hidden spaces in the handle and of course I replaced the "survival kit" that it came with and put in some good wax cotton tender balls and a micro ferro rod.I'll give a update with photos here when I do the other modifications.

I recently got into knives, and of course it led to bush craft. There are way too many knives to choose from and prices. The reason I chose this knife was after the research done this knife is quite the best beast for the bargain. Donnie B All day has a video knife review on the knife a step below, meaning softer steel. Both are good knives but this one the Evolution is better as it has more hardness. Two other knife review channels praised this one for working quite nicely after stress tests and still holding a good edge.The DIY fixes you'll have to do is minor like sanding off some of the black coating off the spine so you can properly get sparks off your ferro rod.FYI if you plan to dress and skin an animal, you'll have to take off the scales and then clean the knife as blood will get stuck in-between the scales and screws.Other than that its dependable. A quick sewkit, sharpening stone, and ferro rod in one package what more could you ask for.Needless to say if you want a bush craft knife at a good price or entry range get this one.

Great quality for the price. Good finishes Well sharpened. The handle material is plastic and the grip is not too good. However, on the whole the sensations are favorable. It comes with a firesteel, scraper, small sharp stone and paracord. The cover is improvable.

light weight handle may need to be tightened.

Good thick knife. Everything I was wanting in a knife.

Hasn't broke yet. I baton wood with it.

Really good knife for the money

Great knife!
