MASALONGKni230 Fixed Blade Knife Hrc60 With Kydex Sheath for Outdoor Camping EDC Hunting Full Tang Design

Iam really starting to like this company They offer alot of kind of knifes Jungle People like Me like to use. This one has a shape that I really like. I've picked up several Karambits from here and I think You get an immense value for what You pay for. The blades actually hold a sharp edge. As far as the strength of the steel I'm not fighting my way out of ww1 trenches but I keep this one in My Car and use it as an everyday. Things like cutting twine, Zip ties , I open My mail everyday. I even carve up some fruit and snacks on breaks. Very Pleased thank You.

Best knife I’ve ever owned keeps a edge very well and had over a year and only had to sharpen 4 times mont bad for being used daily for cutting little trees / weed eater string due to I am a landscape/ mowing assistant manager

The clip can be rotated for vertical or horizontal carry. The knife is compact, sharp, and made solid.

Blade is decent, and I like the shape. Grip doesn't feel particularly comfortable and handle scales are thin. Sheath has poor retention. I think it's an OK product but there are better options out there.

Poor sheath design. Don't waste your money. Belt clip only allows for one carry position. Vertical Only. Had to modify before use.

Solid knife, a little rough around the edges. And I do mean only a little. It just required a little bit of cleaning and the basic knife edge was good but after honing it was razor sharp. Out of the box it did require a little bit of TLC. This is a small knife and I think it is capable of big things. It is really portable and concealable. The handle is well designed to give you a very strong three finger grip and the aggressive blade shape… Well it’s definitely made for hunting your skinning more than wood crafting.The handle scales are very well-made G 10 and bolted onto the full tang blade. They must be mounted with red Loctite because I can’t get it off to do a full cleaning. I’m going to try to heat it up and get the scales off again but I don’t wanna risk stripping the screws. I want to grind the edges down a little bit because the spine is ground and the edges are sharp. This makes it a little uncomfortable in the hand but does give you an advantage in terms of using it with the fire steel. Just a quick run down the corners with some emery cloth or honing stone well make it more comfortable in the hand. I like that you have the option of keeping it as it is. But this is more of a combat blade than a survival knife so you’re not likely to use it with a firesteel.I like that it’s very low profile. The scales themselves are fairly thin so the entire width of the knife is narrow and makes it exceedingly concealable. And the kydex sheath itself is also very narrow. It does come with a Tek-loc clip that is removable so if you wanna make the knife as slim as possible you can take the belt clip off.It’s made of solid D2 tool steel which will make it a very competent performer and you can expect it to hold an edge for a while. Well it won’t have the ability to get submicron sharp, you should be able to easily get it shaving sharp. And it’s attractive knife with a little bit of a swoopy swedge along the droppoint. Now there really isn’t a toil so it’s going to be more difficult to sharpen. The edge goes all the way down into the finger guard which is substantial.I’m going to say 4 1/2 stars but I am leaning towards five because of the price and the fact that it does not deserve to show up as 4. With a little bit of effort you can make this a premium knife and it’s even balanced enough that you could throw it in a pinch.

En general está muy bien, es realmente útil para multitud de ocasiones, solo le pondría una pega: la hoja se queda algo pequeña, un pelin más larga estaría genial, y la curvatura tan pronunciada atemoriza un poco, pero le resta eficacia

The media could not be loaded.  Wow, I can't believe it's only around $38 (at the time of writing this review), I would gladly pay twice that for this quality knife. Sturdy 9cr14mov stainless steel construction with the blade's tang going all the way to the end of the handle and solid fiberglass handle doesn't make the knife heavy at all (11 grams without sheath) nor too bulky. This knife is well made with great craftsmanship and attention to all fine details, the blade is very sharp out of the box, the handle is comfortable, its shape and length is perfect for almost any hand. It is well balanced with a 3/16" thick full tang blade at the widest point of its spine with a swedge and jimping area and it feels really good in my hand.Note that the knife is very specific to self-defense purposes IMHO and it will not make a good utility knife for field hunting or bush-crafting. It resembles a knife known as Karambit that is a kitchen knife that originated in the Philippines. It was mainly used as a farming tool and for self-defense purposes. Karambit has a small, curved blade, often with a ring on the handle into which a finger can be slipped to control the knife (so-called tactical ring). This specific knife does not feature the tactical ring though.The knife has a smooth and wide back of the spine near the handle that provides enough support for your thumb if you need to apply extra pressure for harder work. The back of the blade and the jimping area are slightly rounded. The handle sides are secured with two black flat screws that do not protrude from the handle. The Kydex sheath has a plastic lock for a belt up to 2-1/2" wide and has a precise shape specific to this knife and its handle that ensures secure holding of the knife when inserted even when turning it upside down and trying to shake.9cr14MoV is a Chinese high-end stainless-steel high in Chromium and mid-high in carbon for great corrosion resistance. It is mainly used for corrosion resistance demanding tools, like stainless steel blades/knives, surgical blades, cutlery. It's 440B modified, which is a higher end Chinese stainless steel used mostly in high-end barbering scissors and surgical tools. The maximum Rockwell Hardness of 9cr14MoV is 58-60 HRC and it provides great wear resistance, thanks to the mixture of Carbon, Chromium, and a little bit of Vanadium. 9cr14MoV has a decent hardness, therefore sharpening it won't be an easy task. In general, steel can't have good hardness, corrosion resistance, and toughness at the same time. The 9cr14MoV offers great hardness and corrosion resistance and a lower toughness (but a decent one, it can handle low-mid impact). In general, it's good for knives, but it depends on your usage. As mentioned before, 9cr14MoV has a great corrosion resistance and a good edge retention with a decent toughness, so it will be good for EDC knives, kitchen knives, and for a very tough knife for hunting or camping. Your knife might go through hell of a beating, and it will hold up very well (but it wouldn't be the best one).*** TL;DR ***So, let's summarize - 9cr14MoV stainless steel, fiberglass ergonomic handle, thick full tang blade with jimping area, very sharp out of the box, the Kydex sheath that holds the knife very securely. I really-really like it and I 100% recommend it to everyone. While it might not be the best choice for an EDC or for your emergency bag due to its very specific shape, I would take this with me if self-defense were needed in a heartbeat. The 9cr14MoV steel is great. The construction is solid and bulletproof. You really can't go wrong with it at this price.+++ Pros +++1) Unique Karambit style.2) 9cr14MoV stainless steel.3) 3/16" thick full tang blade.4) Fiberglass ergonomic handle.5) Jimping area for the thumb.6) Very sharp out of the box.7) Kydex sheath with belt lock.8) Sheath holds the knife very securely.--- Cons ---Absolutely none.
