Never heard of this knife...

Very nice hunting knife.
The kitchen set I previously mentioned is very good quality.
Like I said, no hesitation here.

stamped 440A steel!
shit steel and not even a full tang!

its a $30-40 knife max.
DO NOT BUY.
its only for sale on ebay, amazon and from cutco, that is very weird.

If this is the case I would not buy either.
Our kitchen set is full tang. Not sure of the steel but they do stay quite sharp.

Double-D® serrated blade.

I don't care for serrated blades. just my preference.

I've been meaning to replace my EDC Benhmade with a Spyderco. I like the one second from the right. My hands are good size and I prefer a larger knife, EDC or not.

PM2 is great for big hands, and its available in many many steels.

the KOA elk hunter knife seems like a quality knife

check out steel cut tests



buck uses 440C, but in any case the Heat treat makes a big difference.

I have that knife, pretty sure the cutco rep threw it in when we bought a kitchen set. Is it a $180 worth? probably not but I have been very happy with mine. I cut through deer sternum with mine with ease.

Cutco claims a forever guarantee and free knife sharpening. i was almost sold at the show little did i no about the blade material and no full tang of the 1769 hunting knife

i don't own a KOA, but i have fondled them and want one.

 

[96coal449]

Just spent awhile reading up on the Spyderco PM2.
I'm hooked.
Thanks @Phauxtoe
Now to save up a bit of coin........and put my anti 2ndA Benchmade in the drawer.

 

[Acer-m14]

didn't Benchmade go anti 2a with donations yr ago and you still have one lol ..

Yes and yes.
Thing is I bought mine 4-5yrs ago. Still have it because I'm not going to toss it away ......thought about it.
Now I'm waiting to get through the winter lull before shelling out a couple hundred on a PM2
I have boycotted Benchmade.
Thank you for your concerns.

Honestly, a fully serrated blade is going to piss you off more than anything for hunting and fishing. There's little to nothing involved in those two that require it. Camping, you MIGHT get a little extra use out of it, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not a good blade design for those purposes.

I'm looking at the PM2 with a normal straight edge.
If you were referring to me......

Exactly wat i was thinking thank you

 

[Phauxtoe]

Personally i hate full serrated blades, kinda dont like part serrated.
if you get a great steel, there is no need for serration. it covers for bad steel.
