Make sure you get a good ferro rod just in case you need to sharpen and/or start a fire!

I would return it. I like Buck, but this is one of their shitty Made In China models.

I guess it'll do the trick for what you want it for, which is essentially a guise of security.

This is way more interesting than the knife, you should open a thread anon. Anyway that knife will do just fine, for 10 bucks who cares anyway. If you don't mind a fixed knife then you can buy some mora companion for dirt cheap tho.

I have 5 buck knives, 2 of which are the cheaper Chinese made. The Chinese ones are shit in every respect.

The American made ones have really good build quality, but I don't think 420HC holds an edge very well. It is easy to sharpen though and will take a keen edge, and is very corrosion resistant.

I don't have one in front of me to check, but I think the American made ones have a "Made in USA" label on the front, so I'm pretty sure yours is one of their Chinese made hunks of crap.

It'll work.

Remember that if you need to use it, grip it hard and really put your body and arm into the swing or stab (you want to stab, really).

Only if you mean to fight to the death, and even in a stand your ground state that is going to cause a mess of trouble for a hitchhiker to deal with. Slashes are actually more painful, there are plenty of stories about people not knowing they were stabbed.

When you use a knife, you assume that it's generally a rape/death situation, so lethal force can be used.

There was a recent one overseas where a girl scout stabbed a rapefugee in the leg and got away. It obviously worked, and said rapefugee is now in prison; this is in nanny Europe too.

A lot of people's hand slip during a stabbing and they slide their hand onto the blade. that's why combat knives have big guards.

Or, or, and I'm just tossing this out there for those of you that get all your combat information from video games: blood. Blood might be present in a knife attack. Blood is a liquid. It tacks up pretty quickly, but it's slippery for bit first.

It's why you grip it tight.

It's no problem if you do such. You can practice it on trees and shit beforehand if you're worried.

As an aside, slashing, stabbing, and draw cuts all work if someone grabs you; slashing and draw cuts on arms and hands will most likely get someone to let go so you can run. Stabbing into the abdomen and upper legs if you can't get to the neck will work too if you're pinned against the ground or wall.

Situational awareness is the best weapon here, though. You want to avoid areas with shady looking people and lighting, and to run, run and run if you're in trouble. The knife is the last resort O shit I'm about to get a dick in my ass then strangled, deal.

Also,

Knowing how to deploy the knife one handed from awkward positions is a must. That's something you work on.

You may have very limited movement and space.

Perfectly fine. Mora Companion is generally the one you want for price and what you get for your intended purpose. The bushcraft has a better grip, but it's probably twice the cost or more, and for what you want of it, you may as well go with the cheaper option.

Go stainless if it's something to leave in a box and forget about. The carbon models are better if you intend to abuse them /out/ (not that you can't do that with the stainless ones, but carbon is generally more forgiving there).

Ok, Mr.Stabexpert, have you ever stabbed anyone with a knife like that?

You see I do know how common it is for knives to be used for violence, and I know how common it is for the attacker to injure himself with his own knife.

You think you've got it all figured out, but I think you're an internet warrior.

what he said. Mora stainless is 12c27 Sandvik, which is bretty gud (their carbon is roughly equivalent to 1095, which is also a good knife steel).

As for mora designs, I'd prefer the Kansbol - has a better handle, lanyard hole, and a thinner grind on the front half.
Sure - it kind of defeats the whole "$12 knife" idea, but it's a really decent pick.
That said, there's nothing actually wrong with the companion - still a perfectly good knife, if a bit less "refined"

You guys weren't memeing about Morakniv, I bought the stubby Eldris model and brought it on a camping trip and it's definitely going to be my new favorite /out/ pocket knife

I've never gotten a knife scalpel sharp from the factory before

Buck's say Buck on them. And it looks like a clone.

Buck ranger's are a well copied and cloned design. You can buy super cheap/shitty clones for under $10 at those liquidation outlets and other cheap shit stores.

I like the Eldris - I have two of them. Really good for any kind of woodworking, and also meat processing, because of how comfortable the handle is, and how the belly/tip relates to it - sits really well in the hand when using the knife.

Even though it took a lot of flak for being $25 on release, when a "full size" (as if that made it worth more) companion was $12.

I can recommend the Buck Spitfire if you want a one handed opening/closing Made in the USA Buck.

I've got some Mini-Spitfires and a full size one.

They're competitive with the Spydeco Delica (mini) and Endura, but at about 1/2 the price of those.
