I looked forward to buying this one for a while and that review done by Dutch Bushcraft Knifes got me hooked. Love those guys. Ordered the cm154 version of the knife and could not wait for it to arrive. But...
1. You cannot get enough sparks if any at all with the spine of the knife or with the scraper on the handle to get usable sparks at all. (only part that will throw sparks is the tip where the scandivex meets the spine of the knife.)
2. Their magnesium bars and ferro rod are really bad...terrible...way too soft ferro rod. Scrapp it and use whatever else.
3. If you think this knife carves or even cuts like scandi you will be very dissapointed. This is the worst wood cutting knife I own. And I have quite a few. Mora Black and Fallkniven F1 blow this out of the water. Even my pocket knifes cut wood better. Edge is terribly convexed which makes it to glide on the wood. I might change my opinion on it once I "FIX" that grind and make it true scandi...but...
4. After using it for just one evening...light battoning, wood cutting and painfully terrible feathersticking...was really upset to find out that the edge rolls...a lot..
So unless you guys know how to regrind this to zero scandi like DBK guys do...I would not suggest this knife as your bushcraft or survival knife. Fit and finish of the knife is great, sheath is good, but the grind, ferro rod, weight of the knife and heat treatment make it money not well spent. Just my honest opinion, dont want to hurt anyones feelings. If anyone has similar experience please let everyone know. Tops needs to get it right...
