EafengrowEF127 Fixed Blade Knife 14C28N Steel Blade, G10/Micarta Handle Full Tang Fixed Knifes for Working Camping Hunting Survival Heavy Duty EDC Tool Knife

I give 5 stars but I also would like to give a warning. I'm a knife collector. I bought this specifically because I wanted 14C28N steel. Is it genuine 14C28N steel? I don't know. The price is very low which is why I bought it. If it breaks I won't cry because the price was so low. I'd love to have it tested to find out, but the test is like $300 and for that price I could buy a more expensive knife and not worry about it. I have a few EafenGrow Knives. I love all of them. But I can't help but wonder if I'm getting what they advertised. I will say this: The knives they send are EXACTLY as they look online, and they are extremely nice quality (again as they appear online) and they Baton wood without taking any damage. So they appear to be strong as heck. I got my money's worth even if they are some cheaper steel. But I'm not a heavy knife user, I'm a collector, so how will I ever truly know if the steel is what they claim, without spending money on testing.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great fixed-blade knife. I like 14c28n steel for knives like this: very corrosive-resistant, very tough, and easy to sharpen.I saw no flaws on mine. Any scuff or fingerprints you see in the video is from the oil I had just recently applied. Edge is sharp out of the box.Also comes with what I would consider the ideal sheath and belt clip for this kind of knife.Sometimes cheap stuff is cheap, but this knife is a legit bargain. If you're looking for a tough camping-knife -- something you can beat up without feeling bad about it -- I don't think you can do much better than this.

not sharp

It's a strong, sharp, heavy, sturdy knife that just works. Fits Great in your hands, and it can hold It's edge even chopping small branches.

Bought this with self defence EDC in mind. Nope, not going to happen. I can only say that the only thing I like about this knife is that I like the blade design, and that it came suitably sharp.So much about this knife is just bad. Whoever did the grinds on this blade needs more practice. The swedges are not symmetrical from side to side, and one side is not fluid, and straight. The edge grind is also not fluid and straight for either side. And the grinder bit deeper into the steel at the belly of the point. Both sides.The hand grip is ridiculous. Excessively heavy. The front finger groove is so big that it hits the middle of my second finger. And the butt is angled outwards, and so thick that it makes for poor third and pinky finger grip.The scales have little texture. I tried to pull this from the sheath with wet hands and slipped right off.The hardware is not flush to the scales. They poke out a millimeter or so, enough to cause blisters.As a sheath maker, this sheath is abominably tight. I'm sanding the inside, so that I can get the knife from the sheath with one hand. Also because these people put a grommet at the point where the sheath holds the knife, rather than a screw that would allow us to adjust the grip strength.Love the blade design. Hate everything else about this thing, and the poor workmanship.Edit July 1, 2025: The screws holding the belt clip. Since this is an adjustable clip, the screws are only screwed in, no thread locker. They start working themselves out, very quickly while wearing the knife.Find the position you like, treat the screws with thread locker or lok-tite, or lose the screws while wearing it. Red if you want them in more patiently, blue if you feel you may want to change it later.Blade is still very sharp when cutting, but isn't doing paper well at all. Time to strop. This is normal blade wear tho.

This is a very nice fixed blade knife. The case is nicely done. I did heat it up a little and adjusted it. The knife was pretty hard to get out, but after the adjustment it's perfect.The blade is nice, I wouldn't say out of the box it is super sharp. It's sharp, don't get me wrong, just could be much sharper.The G10 scales are nice, it seems to have enough grip. The screws that hold the scales to the tang seem decent quality. I did unscrew them and add loctite to them. It does not appear this was done at the factory.The knife seems nicely balanced. Should be a real nice knife for camping etc. Well worth the price.

Other knives I have tried and returned from this brand are for very small hands. Not so with this oneas grip fills even big hands. The grind is good, come sharp. Thick blade is made for "puncturing" things - those who know knives will know what I mean.

I've used knives from this brand in the past and for the price, their honestly great. This is the first fixed blade I've tried from them and im very impressed with it. Using the highly rated 14c28n steel, g10 scales and a decent kydex sheath make this knife a great option for camping and hiking. This knife was made to be able to do any outdoor task and its not a small knife and is very well built and is very ergonomic for its size.
