Secondly, for a camping/survival knife, the thickness and composition of the blade are both critical elements. It appears to be 3mm thickness which is great, up to 3.5mm are ideal in my opinion.
If it is in fact OKC and model 6527, they provide this critical data:
BLADE THICKNESS 0.125 in (3.18mm) BLADE MATERIAL 5160 Carbon Steel HARDNESS 53-55 HRC
Since this deal includes (what appears to be) a cheap Chinese fire-steel/striker (unnecessary) and a decent sheath, this is a very good deal overall on a solid camping knife. The carbon steel is excellent, good hardness and easy to sharpen and maintain. Just will need to clean and dry carefully, wipe down with a drop of oil before putting away. This knife should last many years of hard use, or a lifetime with occasional use.
Great job MD; recommend you verify the model, and if it's 6527, then post that, and update with the info I provided.
