Bushmaster Bushcraft Explorer Fixed Blade Knife – 1095 Carbon Steel Blade, Zebra Wood Handle, Brass Pins And Lanyard Hole – Length 9 5/8”

When I saw this knife in the catalog I thought it looked like a quality knife. I wasn't disappointed. It is more than 1/8" inch thick making it a strong and solid knife. It has a matte finish and is very sharp and the 1095 carbon steel is definitely hard. The sheath it came with is also high quality making it an even better deal. I will definitely buy a Bushmaster knife again and I definitely recommend it.

Bought this one because I was so impressed with the smaller version. Very well built rugged knife with an outstanding sheath. Feels great in my hand. I eased the handle bevels a bit with a fine emery nail file, then went over the handle with 4-0 steel wool. Applied several coats of neetsfoot oil, inside and out, to the sheath and to the wood on the handle of the knife.

I bought this knife earlier in the year. I’ve been wanting a horizontal, behind the back, draw knife and this one fit the bill. It’s tough and good looking. I wrapped the handle with sports tape for a better grip but that’s just personal preference. Overall for the price this knife beats all others in the horizontal carry category. If you’re thinking of buying I say go for it! You won’t be disappointed.
