Does anyone have one of these knives

[smokyjoe]

They seem to be a great price, does anyone have one, if so are they any good? I'm tempted

AMZN: NEW YEAR SALE! Bushcraft Knife - Hand Built - Walnut handle - 01 carbon steel blade - The ultimate camping and bushcraft tool! Bargain! http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B0080XNDJE

for that money it's a cheap good looking knife, no idea what the quality is like, think they are made in india, has to be worth a punt but be aware that the finish might not be top notch.

( and yes, i know who is supplying it ! but after all, it's just a knife on a budget )

After reading threads on British blades about "hand made" knives on Amazon, I wouldn't think about buying one. It could be genuine, but is more likely to be a cheap, pakistani made blade with a poor finish. For the money I would look at a boker bushcraft.

yes, that looks a much better deal.

Or how about a Condor Bushlore (http://www.heinnie.com/Condor-Bushlore-Knife/p-0-0-4941/). A very decent knife for the money (about 30 quid) imo.

I wouldn't touch it with a nice long stick, personally.
I suspect who is behind it and I won't give them my business.

"Very sharp and powerful bushcraft knife"

"sharp and powerful"

"powerful"

Eh?

The blades those Amazon knives are made of is 60% butter 30% tin and 10% rust. That is a true fact known by 87% of all people who read 30% of all statistics on knives. It might even be allegedly true. Condor make the cheapest knife of the type you are after. The metal is not the best but will do to get you started and the knives look the part.
