ASEK Survival Knife

Very good knife, nice weight and blade shape is solid. It comes in its own hard knife case and has a molle case you can purchase for carrying on your gear. I really love it. Also this one is made in USA. And made in Ontario New York. My friend just ordered one. You should too. Buy this badboy and add it to your gear now. You won't regret it! :) Don MKT(MAKEKILLTRAIN).

This thing came with everything you see in the photo except a better knife and sheath. If I'm being honest I can't see what the big deal is with this one and the other SOG BK series but hey it is a lot less expensive and seems to be just as good, the blade was super sharp out of the box and everything seems durable. But you're going to want to get a good knife sharpener and make sure you sand the handle because it is some of the worst woodwork I've ever seen, it is like something from a bad episode of WKRP in-cahoots with Bobby's unfinished toolbox. My final thought is it is worth the buy, just make sure you spend a little extra on a proper leather sheath for it. Also be aware the scabbard has metal clips so this is a throw down, flip it around the hand, or slip it on kind of a knife so make sure you are cool with that. 11/10 recommend

love the look and the heft.

This is a nice, solid knife. If I had ordered it with a case I would not have had a problem. I didn't, so it was my problem. But when the last screw came out I lost my grip and watched it tumble down my driveway into the gutter and splash in some filthy muck. Now it's really screwed up. Oh, well, that's why I keep telling myself not to buy a knife without a sheath. You would think they would take that into consideration when making the listing, but no. You might want to think about it. Otherwise it's a great knife.

Bought this a couple weeks ago. I really like the grip texture. The knife came pretty sharp. It wasn't cutting sharp, just the edges felt like they could be sharpened with a whetstone, but it was close enough that I was pleased with the out of the box edge that it had. 1 week later I decided to use it for some bushcraft. After cutting a few logs with it, I couldn't believe how dull the blade was! It's the exact same condition as when I got it! I sharpened it a bit and the results were surprising. Now the knife feels more solid than ever and I don't worry about how dull it gets because I can fix it easily. Would've loved it to have come sharpened a bit better out of the box, but overall I'm happy with the ASEK Survival Knife. The sheath is okay, I wouldn't trust it to keep your knife safe from falling out. The only way I could imagine it not being easy to remove from the sheath would be to choke the tip of the blade. I would like to add, if you're not comfortable with sharpening your own blades, you should be. It's really not hard at all. Also, make sure you have the correct kind of stone for your blade. A straight edge requires a certain kind of whetstone and you can buy one if you want, but a fine tooth hand stone works just fine for the job. There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube if you need help with this step.

I’ve owned many similar style knives, most all of them made in china. This knife has been built like no other, a thicker solid steel guard and even the back plate was made to look more tactical. This knife is 3.5 inches wider at the tip than most knives its size, making the edge longer and thicker. The durability of this knife can’t be matched, and you’ll be satisfied knowing it will out last you. My only con would be the included sheath, the knife itself has many angles making the mold to the sheath nearly impossible to match perfectly and this shows because it loosely snaps into place. It does stay in place though. The blade came sharp and ready to use and i recommend getting a liner, mine was smooth and easy to slide in. This knife should not be rated lower than its worth, even being built in tt.

I got the K12 Survival knife and also saw it available in tan with ASEAL stamping. This survival knife has plenty of space to apply for logos, trademarks or insignias and the item appears a genuine issued military product. However this particular issue does not seem to be a special designation from A.S.E. with the product listing for item AS-K12 having not that particular marking or item designator on it at all, that is only a different picture that is also displayed on an Amazon search. A SEAL knife. The one I got does seem sturdy in build but not as rigid as one would expect. Not a major issue. The blade arrived well sharpened with a decent amount of burr left on the edge. Although with some fine and some course wet stones that burr was completely removed leaving a clean sharp cutting edge. That knife is not of typical carbon steal or carbon black. But made from typical carbonized stainless spring steel alloyed for durability. The nylon is a hardy coarser type which should withstand many beatings but not of super strong polyamide. So I believe that item may prove a durable field knife with any heavy chores thrown its way. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and will get another when my buddy wants to replace his for going camping or hunting in Alaska and I go with him. The only complaint I would make would be that in some online pictures the black military d-ring seems larger in circumference. However it still does the trick on this blade for attaching it around the sheath. ( I think it's correct).

I have had this knife for 2 years now and it has been great! The only issue i have is the sheath is not very well made. It does not keep my blade securely in place. Other than that its a great buy

I love this knife! It's very sturdy and well made. I bought it as a gift for my son who loves knives. He was so excited to receive it he asked me if he could keep it. I told him no but I might just have to buy another one for myself.

I love this knife!

This knife was delivered quickly and in good condition. I've been using it as my go-to pocket knife for about two months now and have found it to be very useful. It's not quite as sharp out of the box as I would like but it sharpened up nicely on my whetstone. The sheath has a bit of play in it so you can remove the knife easily but it doesn't slide around too much when you put it back in. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

I love this knife! It's very well made and it has great weight to it. The blade came razor sharp right out of the box.
