I've wanted one of these for a while and got round to ordering one the other day.
It's hard to believe this is a £12 knife.. considering it is made to a rather high standard with attractive materials.
I like finger guards and bolsters, they often get dismissed these days due to the massive popularity of 'bushcraft knives' and those boring aesthetics they often tend to conform to. Needless to say, finger guards are handy and comfy in use!
The handle wood is some kind of stabilised 'root wood', finished nicely and actually pretty good looking. The knife is full tang and feels solid. Stainless (no other details) blade and finger guard and those stabilised scales means this one will be easy to clean after you've shoved it into a bag of dead animals, and this is designed mostly as a hunting knife. The blade starts at 3mm thick, but quickly tapers off to a very fine tip, so I wouldn't bother batoning anything thick with it, just to be safe.
But for any normal practice, you can expect this knife to hold up really well, and for that price tag.. who's complaining?
It even comes with a sheath, one of those black nylon types. Useable, but not in keeping with the knife itself, good job I had a spare laying around unused!
Mine came pretty sharp otb, and with a little wax/grease on the blade.
Again, this is not a review, but just a quick talk about what you can get for your change!
Thanks for reading!

for that price it has to be worth a punt.
