FLISSA 9 Inch D2 Steel Hunting Knife Micarta Handle Leather Sheath

I've been using D2 steel knives for over ten years. For the price-to-performance ratio, nothing else comes close. It holds an edge longer than most stainless options and takes a good edge when you do sharpen it. The only trade-off is that D2 can rust if you leave it wet, so keep it dry and give it a light oil once in a while. This FLISSA 9-inch came sharp out of the box. The Micarta handle is comfortable in hand — not too slick, good grip even when your hands aren't clean. The shape fills the palm well and there are no hot spots during extended use. The leather sheath is a nice inclusion at this price point. It holds the knife securely and the snap retention works without being difficult to draw from. For the money this is an absurd amount of knife. The fit and finish is clean, blade centering is good, and the full tang construction feels solid. I've handled knives at two and three times this price that didn't feel as good in the hand. If you're looking for a fixed blade for camp, bushcraft, or general outdoor use and you don't want to spend a fortune, this is it. Just remember D2 is a tool steel, not stainless — take care of it and it'll take care of you.

This Flissa hunting knife is a relatively small knife with 4.25" D2 steel blade, it features a scandi grind preferred for Bushcraft work. The knife is very well made considering its modest price, the blade is chunky with a 3.8mm thick full tang blade. The handle has tough G-10 scales with two lanyard holes. A leather sheath with retaining strap and press stud closure is provided for sure carry. This is a really great mini-survival knife as I can not see this blade failing even under hard use, its a sharpened pry bar. My knife came out the box shaving sharp, and to keep it that way I would suggest a fine ceramic rod for honing. I have big hands and find the handle comfortable with no obvious hot spots. Be aware that D2 is stain resistant but not a Stainless Steel so clean regularly with a drop of oil.

I still can't believe that I bought this D2 steel knife for $23.59. Amazon delivered a multiple item package that was missing this knife, even though the invoice said it had been delivered with everything else. But Amazon made good on it. I can’t find anything wrong with the knife, and I looked. I’m a hands-on person that frequently needs to use a blade. And I don’t hesitate to write critical reviews when I’m not pleased with products. The Flissa came sharp enough to shave the hair off my arm. It has the Scandi blade grind. The blade is thick, with a steep narrow grind so it breaks open carrots, apples, etc, rather than slicing through them like a thinner blade with a flatter grind. The grind is remarkably symmetrical right out to the tip. The blade is polished nicely. The handle sides and handle steel were not ground as an assembled unit for a perfect fit, but the handle pieces fit very well none-the-less. The leather sheath fits the knife snugly, and does a good job of holding the knife down inside. The leather sheath hangs well on my belt, and the leather is flexible enough to bend out of the way when it encounters a chair or truck seat. The handle is just wide enough for my hand that wears a Men’s size Large glove. The quality of the knife is outstanding for the price. I will make good use of it without needing to worry about damaging an expensive knife. The weakness of this review is that I haven’t put the knife to rugged use yet. I may be a bit premature here with the positive accolades, but it accurately reflects my first impression of this blade. - - update after about 2 months. I put this blade through some (abusive) use, scraping paint off old stucco, scraping rust off of a wheel barrow that I rebuilt, removing small limbs in the yard, etc. The harsh work roughed up the blade edge to where it was easily visible. I was surprised how D2 edge rolled and chipped (very small micro-chips) from the rough use. I think I'd read something that lead me to believe that D2 was more indistructable. But the edge also take a new edge just fine. In fact, I was surprised how easy it honed to a new sharp edge just using a medium stone hone followed by a fine diamond hone. I'd also read that D2 was hard to sharpen. Not the case here. It may be that the tempering is a factor with how D2 performs. This D2 is a utilitarian steel suited for harsh use and resharpening. It doesn't have the edge retention of some of the newer, more expensive steels.

The handle could have a better fit and finish. The blade is thicker that I would have liked, but it is sharp. I seems to be holding its edge well. You can not remove the screws holding the handle together. I suspect they are red locktite in place. I tried and stripped the head. I may drill them out later and fix it, but I bought this as cheap knife to keep on me while working on my land and still have something that can hold a edge. Edge seems good. I don't care for the sheath. Nothing wrong with it, but I've got to where I like to clip my sheats horizontally on my belt and carry appendix style. No going to happen with this sheath. For the price I think this is a great knife.

Hands down an excellent knife for the money and a really solid knife overall. Zero-grind / Scandinavian grind, chunky piece of D2, comfortable handle scales for.my XL size.glove hands. My knife did come with a small amount of oxidization on the cutting edge but, a little clean up and use took care of that. The sheath isn't premium leather but it will still give you good longevity. This knife is a steal for the budget bushcrafter. A really excellent knife for less than $20 at the time of this review.

I’ve owned all three versions of this knife, and honestly it’s one of the best value camp knives you can buy — especially for around $20. From the moment you open the package, you can tell this isn’t just another cheap blade. This thing is super sharp right from the Flissa factory, and the Scandi grind makes it a joy to use for everyday camp tasks. What stands out: • Blade grind: Scandi grind — fantastic for carving, feathering sticks, and controlled cuts • Sharp out of the box: Ready for use without spending time on a sharpener • Size: Great size for a camp utility knife — not too big, not too small • Value: For around $20, you simply can’t beat this knife • Feel: Solid in hand, comfortable ergonomics for extended use This knife is one of my favorites in my kit because it does real work without feeling flimsy. Whether you’re splitting tinder, prepping food, carving tools, or just doing general campsite chores, the Scandi grind excels and gives you precise control. What really surprises people is how capable this blade is compared to its price. Yes, it’s inexpensive — but it doesn’t feel cheap. In fact, I trust it alongside some knives that cost way more. If you’re looking for a dependable camp knife with excellent edge geometry and great ergonomics, this is one of the best buys in the budget EDC/camping space. Highly recommended — an easy 5 stars.

I like the saber grind and the blades is thick and sturdy. Mine came razor sharp, I got the G10 scales. It’s like the little brother of the Ka-Bar BK 2 and less than 1/4 of the price of the BK 16 Excellent quality, especially for $20 Even the sheath is nice. This knife is more heavy duty than the Mora and has a full tang. Aside from the lanyard hole being a little small, I can’t find anything that I don’t like about it. It’s one of those rare items where you get more than you pay for, I have a lot of quality knives, this is one I recommend to my friends, a few have bought it and are also very happy with the quality and price. You won’t be disappointed.

The pros about this knife, it feels very sturdy and has some weight to it, also it fits very comfortably in the hand. The sheath is well made and holds the knife perfectly.

excelente producto

商品開封～刃先に錆あり、研いだ後のカエリがそのまま残ってました。 どうせ研ぐので両方とも問題ありません！ 使う時が楽しみです。良い商品で、2000円以内で有り得ない！ お安く買えたので満足です。

安価なのに切れ味は良い。バトニングは推奨していないので、やりません。調理やフェザーステック、割りばしスティックを作るのに使用してます。心配していた錆、刃こぼれなどはありませんでした。 少し切れ味が悪くなったら、革砥で研ぐだけで、切れ味が復活しました。

This is a quality product. The grind is perfectly symmetrical. The edge is sharp out of the box. They don't try to say that it is a special steel, but it is D2 and it would seem that the heat treatment is good. The G2 scales are well made and adequate for a large hand. The only criticism that I have, would be that it has no gimping. The leather sheath is high quality and is worth as much as what you pay for the whole knife and sheath. I love it. One last criticism. The blade is good, but to be perfect, you will need to put it to the stone as it has a few spots on the edge which could be taken out.

D2鋼を使っているので、安い中国製のすぐに切れ味がなまるナイフとは一線を画してます。切れる状態を長くく維持することができます。相当荒っぽく使っても、かなりのヘビーデューティな使い方に耐えられると思います。ブレードの厚さは実測3.8㎝あり、背の部分がブレードの厚さを維持しているので、バトニングを行っても安定して使えます。僕はハンドルをG10にしたのですが、水中や海での使用をするのであれば滑りにくいハンドルを選べるのもいいですね。ただ、水の中ではナイフケースはちょっとフヤケてどうしようもないくなってしまいますが。価格も安くて、大変満足のいくナイフだと思います。
