Comments: The materials, workmanship and quality control of these szco knives is very good. This is a compact but hefty knife with it's thick spine and tang. Great value at this price. Nice construction, tough, solid, and sharp!!! For every day carry, hunting, fishing, camping, whittling, leather and wood working. I’m a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local Re-enactmnent group and at Renaissance Fairs, so I get lots of feedback. I sell what I own and can recommend! All photos are mine and I try to show you details that are overlooked in manufacturer’s stock photos, and that most Sellers seem oblivious to. See my seller ratings and buy with confidence, plus I ship fast.

A normal blade profile has a curved cutting edge and dull straight back that lets the wielder press on the spine to concentrate force, as well as making the knife heavy and strong for it's size. The curve concentrates force on a smaller area, making cutting easier. The knife can chop as well as carve, slice and pick. It's also the best single-edged blade shape for thrusting, as the edge cuts a swath that the entire width of the knife can then pass through without the spine having to push aside any material as other knife profiles like the drop point and sheepsfoot would. Effective for tasks from food preparation including cleaning, skinning, scaling fish and game. Also an effective weapon with penetrating power second to only a dagger.
