CELTIBERO - Premium Quality Outdoor/Survival/Hunting/Tactical Knife - Stainless Steel MOVA-58 with Genuine Leather Multi-positioned Sheath - Made in Spain.

Excellent out of the box. Good fit and finish on the knife and sheath. Beautiful blade. Out of the box sharp. Not shaving sharp, but then this ain't for shaving, it's for work. Nice 90 degree edge on spine throws a spark well off the ferro rod. Nice flat grind on the blade batons well and does some detailing work well, but not a small blade — detail work takes a little care. Micarta handle fills the hand well and feels good during use. Jimping is agressive enough to be effective while using gloves and (so far) not too agressive while using bare handed. Knife has some heft which helps for chopping and feels solid, but not light when carrying.Leather sheath has good quality construction and seems well made and smells oh so leathery. Knife fits well and doesn't move once locked in. Sharpening stone and ferro rod are nice accessories. Head of ferro rod is a little large for the rod loop on the side of the sheath and it takes a little streatching of the loop to get the rod deep into the loop.Overall I'm very happy so far and would recommend this to anyone looking for a good, solid knife for outdoor use.

This knife is tailor made for what you need in a knife made for outdoor work and emergency go bags. Even the scabbard is well thought out with a notch in it to fold the security snap down strap out of the way for quick and easy sheathing and unsheathing, which is nice when your dressing large game. This is not a combat knife specifically but a tool for living off the land if necessary. The only thing I replaced was the wet stone with a Lansky pocket sharpener. Which leaves room for some lint, in the same small seal bag that the ferro stone came in, for lighting a fire in wet conditions or if it holds a good edge I might just put a butane lighter in that pocket. It's thick bladed and perfectly balanced. The coco bolo grips are smooth and feel good in your hand. (I seriously had a problem putting it down) The plastic or micarta grips maybe a better longer lasting choice in the end but I like the natural feel of these. Only time and use will tell how long it can hold an edge but I look forward to finding out!

I got this blade for Christmas and as an avid outdoors-man, have tested this steel under some trying conditions, batoning several milk crates of kindling for our wood stove, hard hickory, oak and dry dogwood. It came hair popping sharp out of the box, the blade steel was fully capable of shaving arm hair after batoning 3-4 milk crates of this hard wood. Unlike the more popular 1095 / D2 steels that American blades tend to lean towards, the MV-58 used in this knife put them to shame. It's easy to sharpen, strops to a shaving sharpness and maintains the edge like no other knife I've used in my military, bush craft and outdoor activities. I beat this blade through 4"-6" oak logs with a hickory baton with ease, drove it through oak knots and filled my bins full of wood...tested the blade and it would still shave arm hair. Try that with a piece of 1095 or D-2...not happening.The leather sheath is high quality, holds the blade firmly in place stitched firmly in all areas. The ferro rod works as intended and stays firmly in the holder. It also comes with a sharpening stone (not tested), but looks of a basic stone that would do the job.Lastly, after owning numerous 1095 "survival / bush craft" blades, I can not recommend this knife enough, it's beautiful in all areas, it's a show piece, but also a performer. I got mine to use, not display, and it has proven itself as a winner! The USA should look into replacing their go-to steel (1095 / D-2) for a more stable and durable MV-58.

I have only unboxed this Spanish bad boy about ninety minutes ago, but already, my first impressions of this knife are, in the balance, quite favorable. All in all, I think that this knife will serve my needs well.To begin with, aesthetically, the overall presentation of the rig I received is truly quite awesome. The leatherwork on the sheath is gorgeous, especially given that it's factory made; color consistency, stitching and fit and finish are all superlative. Included with the knife is a medium-rough grit sharpening stone that fits very snugly into its pouch and a larger and sturdier than expected ferrocerium rod which also fit snugly into its attached leather carrying loop. The ferro rod comes with a thin green metal scraper with a serrated tip attached to a nylon cord lanyard. Both the included scraper and the sharp 90° angled spine of the knife blade are more than sufficient to strike off a generous cascade of sparks to ignite your tinder. I tried both methods and after a minute or two, I was able to remove enough enamel coating from the ferro rod to make some really nice sparks, indeed.Now, on to the knife itself. Out of the box, it's a real beast. The entire blade, from the tip, along the spine and to the pommel, is really quite thick. The spine is approximately 1/8 of an inch thick (sorry, I don't own a caliper). True to the product description, the blade length is 5.7 inches. It has a drop point and a sabre grind. While not truly "hair-popping sharp" right out of the box, it is otherwise very sharp, indeed. Standard printer paper was no match at all for the blade edge. I even managed to perform some basic whittling on some of my firewood kindling and was able to produce some fairly nice shavings. No batoning as of yet, but I certainly look forward to trying that out, since processing firewood for kindling is one of my intended uses for this knife. Several professional outdoor/survival/bushcraft reviewers on YouTube have pointed out that the very aggressive gimping is both useless and actually very uncomfortable--even painful. Thus far, I have not found this to be the case and I've been handling this knife on and off for the better part of two hours now. We'll see. I was pleasantly surprised by how much the cocobolo wood handle scales provide such a fantastic grip and ergonomic feel. Really nice, indeed.As for negatives or potential negatives, for me, there are several. The button snap closure for the leather retention strap is WAY too tight! It's ridiculous, actually. I have tentatively had to use the flathead screwdriver on my Swiss Army knife to unfasten it for fear of tearing the retention strap off! Not cool. Not cool at all. I'm hoping that with continued use, the button snap will loosen up over time. Man, I hope so. In terms of the overall fit and finish of the knife, the wood handle scales are uniformly shaped and are totally flush with the tang. The blade finish is semi satin and reveals no obvious flaws. However, to the naked eye, the very most tip of the blade is ever so slightly lopsided. It's one of those details that you and only you will probably notice, but I notice it, so there it is. Machine made, what can you say?Without actually having put this guy through its proper paces and really tested it, I'm fairly confident that it will more than adequately serve my particular intents and purposes. I'm not Dave Canterbury, Les Stroud or Ray Mears, I'm just a regular dude with a large property and lots of outdoor tasks and chores and I think the CDS Celtibero will help me greatly. Looking forward. Here's to it!As I discover and learn more about this knife and its potential applications, I will update my review accordingly. Overall, tentatively, I'm actually rather pleased.UPDATE (04/07/16)Since receiving this knife, and it's sheath rig, I have made the following modular and performance modifications: I used my Ken Onion Edition Work Sharp belt sharpener to put a true convex edge on the blade and now, this beauty will shave, batton, notch and gouge small to medium sizes of wood--dry or green, like nobody's business. I also changed out the included ferrocerium rod, the handle of which came off within two days and had to be super glued back on for a three-inch Friendly Swede and I am truly pleased with the upgrade. Also, I found the sharpening stone to be too short for my preference (I prefer Japanese/Arkansas-style slab stones) and converted the designated compartment into a miniature fire kit housing (mini Bic lighter, cotton ball soaked in lamp oil in a tiny plastic pouch, slim box of wooden cigar matches and frayed jute twine). Finally, I removed the lashing cord and used it for both a pommel lanyard and a lanyard for my ferro rod and striker.And now, some Observations: I do not advocate excessive prying and/or gouging with this knife as I believe it constitutes "abuse" of the instrument, but that having been said, this beast is more than up to the task, within reasonable limits. Battonning, in particular, is a breeze with this knife, even with significantly-knotted wood. I've been able to process medium sized wood (approx 18" X approx 5") into large kindling, down to medium and small kindling and even down to true tinder. The spine on this knife, flowing into the full tang and ending in an insane pommel, is quite thick and very sharp at the right (90°) angle, making it ideal for not only striking a firesteel, but even shaving fatwood or thinner bark. Seriously, Dave Canterbury would howl about this spine. After some initial use, I noted the slightest rattle in the wood handle scales, but after some tightening with the correct sized allen wrench, the problem has not returned in over four months. All in all, I have: processed firewood, cut cordage (jute twine, tarred bank line, paracord, nylon rope and hemp rope), vines and roots and vegetation, cracked open walnuts and palm nuts, driven tent stakes and even split some wood with the pommel and I even "field dressed" a rack of lamb roast just for fun (it actually worked marvelously). The particular stainless steel utilize for this knife is still an enigma to me, but thus far, it as acquitted itself fantastically.Upgraded Score: From Three to Four Stars

Great quality, fast shipping

The knife is perfect for a true camp knife that can do everything from slice veggies to batoning. I was a little apprehensive at first, but this is pretty much the older version of the Jeo Tec 39. The jimping on this version is horrible if you use this knife for any wood crafting. It will tear into the skin of your thumb, but all that is needed is some refining. I filed, sanded mine down and it feels very nice without causing any discomfort. Second, the blade thickness makes it so the saber grind with flat grind bezel sticks into the wood. It’s fine but nothing to write home about. I reprofiled the edge to convex using a foam pad a different grits of automotive sand paper (320 - 3000) and take my word for it, the knife will sing songs to you while you cut into wood. The blade cuts so smoothly with no fear of losing an edge when putting it through normal abuse, including chopping. Trust me, get it, do the much needed mods and this will be your go to bushcraft knife. The cocobolo wood is lovely. I sanded it down to 2000 grit and it’s still got nice grip. Cocobolo wood is naturally oily so no need to oil her up either.

I have to use this knife before saying anything more about it
