Handles well, this knife is awesome especially for my sheep and mule deer prairie hunts where I carry a lot of gear. I didn't know if i'd like the orange but it's great, you never have to look for it. Great purchase

This is their Grivory Handle material It's super grippy. That's something. I've really appreciated from cold steel for a long time It's a rubber type ...

I have been using my KOA D2 elk hunter for the past ten years. It's a great knife, but at the end of last season I decided to start looking at some of the higher end steels. I am on a bit of a quest to find a knife that will remain sufficiently sharp through an entire elk. I have several benchmade pocket knives and I really like them so I decided to try a couple of their hunting knives to see how I like their design/feel and to test the edge holding retention on elk hide

Review of Cold Steel 35 AM San Mai Tanto Knife - San Mai blade is a " harder" center layer of steel sandwiched between two "softer" layers - the harder center for improved edge retention with the softer outer layers to provide more flexibility to resist breakage if blade is bent / flexed during heavy cutting tasks. The handle is made of a soft rubber like material and feels comfortable in bare hand when cutting.. Overall the knife appears to be well made - blade edge has an even grind and was sharp out of box

This is a spendy knife but it is well worth the price. I purchased the firstlite edition knife because it is $30 cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else at the moment.

For the price it's OK I wouldn't buy it again I'm still giving it 4 stars hard to find a $30 knife in this range.

But for those looking for a tough fixed blade that weighs scant ounces for hunting, this one should be high on the list.

You know slim down five and a half inch blade it's 4.4 ounces. I mean it's really lightweight. I really like it the recon tanto
