I thought this was a cool looking knife with the build quality being much better than I expected. It’s nicely cast from a single block of metal and overall is very comparable to Cold Steel’s drop forged series while being a better value. I didn’t encounter any sharp edges or burrs and found the knife to be comfortable and easy to grip, although I do plan on adding a paracord wrap at some point. The blade also came reasonably sharp with it cutting various cordage well out of the box. I like how the sheath is a coyote brown color, giving the whole package a sort of tactical feel, especially the finger ring which is large and works well. The sheath provides good retention with it retaining the knife even being shaken upside down. The clip is just OK though and will probably be replaced with a TekLok. Overall I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this knife is and think it’s very comparable to some of the established brands and worth checking out if you find the design to be appealing.
This WILDLANCE EDC knife is a compact, tough little blade that feels great in the hand. The full-tang design gives it strength, and the 3.14” blade is the perfect size for camping, gear bags, or everyday outdoor use without being bulky.The grip is comfortable and secure, even when my hands were cold. It has a nice balance to it, and the blade came sharp right out of the box. I used it for a few camp tasks — cutting rope, opening packages, light whittling — and it handled all of it with no issue.The sheath is simple but works well, and it clips nicely onto a belt or backpack strap. Easy to carry, easy to access.Overall, it’s a reliable, compact fixed blade that fits a lot of situations — camping, hiking, fishing, or just keeping in the truck. Clean look, sturdy build, and practical size.
It's a pretty badass little fixed. Great for using in the integrateds and at camp
Nice sturdy fixed, comfortable in hand, sharp, flint works well, comfortable on hip
lovely well made knife, fast delivery, great seller, will be using again (and again), A+++++++++++++++++++
This is a good all around knife for my new Boy Scout. Not too large, not cheaply made, not overpriced, and has a decent sheath. He's had a smaller pocket knife for years and now that he's progressing in outdoor skill set, it's time to upgrade. He needed a larger, durable survival knife to strap to his gear and have at the ready for hunting and craft. The size is perfect in both blade and handle. The steel is impressive and I like the integrated handle to ensure a sure grip. So the knife is solid but the sheath does have a small flaw. There's a small tear at one of the buttons. I attached a pic of this. It's not a terrible flaw but I don't anticipate this strap holding up over time. After repeated use of this button no doubt it will separate. Other than that, He's so excited to have it and I expect the knife itself to last him for years to come.
Thank you for reading and I hope you find this review and the pictures helpful in making a purchasing decision.
WoW, very well put together sharp knife, fast delivery and exactly as described, will purchase from this company again
Everything best! Fell Thank!
For well under $20 this is a solid offering. It feels sturdy in the hand and has a comfortable handle contour. The blade is stout, but not overly thick. It was fairly sharp, but DC53 is pretty easy to bring to razor sharpness. I stropped it a bit and that was enough to bring it to shaving sharp.
As mentioned by others the sheath retention is a bit light. I heard mine with a heat gun and squeezed it a bit snugger at the top. That was enough to make a difference. If you aren't doing acrobatics, it's probably okay as is, but the fix is easy.
This would make a decent yard beater, camp knife, hunting knife or trunk knife. Really not bad for the price, but I'd probably still prefer a Mora. I hope this review helps!
I mean, for the money, sure. The ergonomics are not bad... the blade profile is good. The sheath is unimpressive, as is the steel... but for a cheaper, beater knife... not bad.
This is a basic knife which is nice for camping and craft. The blade will need some sharpening out of the box but once you do that you won't be disappointed. The sheath is nothing special but it's ok and functions well. The construction seems sturdy enough that it will last for awhile. I like the weight ratio, not too light not too heavy. The handle feels nice. For this price yiu really can't go wrong with this knife. It comes in a nice box and would make a great gift.
simply the best, made for 2 lifetimes. great design, great materials, great execution and craftsmanship. very clean nice product delivered. also, Wildlance a top notch outdoorbrand product brand, very intelligent product design, state of the art material selection and manufacturing, communicative educating packaging w partially artistic photography renderings of outdoor lifestyle. solid.
Good overall blade for hiking, fishing and camping, sheath falls short and it is cloth at top and doesn't inspire security
I wanted a nice blade to carry around the acreage and use as needed, but I loved this one so much I'm using it at the grill to cut up meat. Very nice quality, heavy duty handle
Great knife
So I ordered this craft knife, the blade it sharp, I'll give it that. Slices through stuff as it should. Made from some junky low carbon stainless steel, but its fairly tough, but let's be real, it's nothing groundbreaking. Does the job, but don't expect it to perform miracles.
Now, onto the handle. It's... alright. Comfortable enough, I guess. Gets the job done without giving me blisters, so that's a plus. But it's nothing to write home about. Just your basic TPR handle ?C nothing fancy, nothing special.
And the sheath? Yeah, it's plastic. Cheap plastic. Not gonna win any awards for durability or style, that's for sure. But hey, it does its job. Keeps the blade safe and sound, so I guess I can't complain too much there either.
Overall, it's a decent knife. Good for throwing in your camping gear or using as a backup blade. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy. Just a solid, reliable tool that'll get you through your outdoor adventures without breaking the bank. I do recommend.

Recently I picked up a couple of these wonderful crafting blades. Not only are they full tang, but they have a nice handle on them, allowing for a good solid purchase when using. The blade shape is perfect for battoning, and offers enough blade thickness and strength to handle the downward force on the tip without breaking, and allowing for a nice splitting of your integrated.
The blade holds a halfway decent edge, however it will dull within a decent whittling session or integrated splitting....but what blade doesn't? The sheath is nice, as it offers a molded and ridged scabbard for you fixed blade, however I don't really care for the flappy nylon part. I would much rather have the ability to just throw on a tech-lok and call it a day. The sheath is a nice feature though.
Overall this is a pretty decent fixed blade with a comfortable handle and a great price point. I'm glad I picked it up, and it's cheap enough that if I break it while having a great time outdoors, then I'll just get another!
I like doing outdoor activities, e.g., camping, hiking, canoeing/kayaking etc. I have several types of knives, but this one caught my eye because of its size, versatility, and price ($9.99 at the time of this review).
Things I like about the knife & sheath:
- I'm a woman with smaller hands and I'm able to comfortably grip this knife's handle and use the knife
with confidence.
- The material on the handle (feels like a firm integrated) doesn't slip easily, even when wet.
- The size allows me to easily carry this on my belt, or in my backpack.
- The sheath feels durable enough for my needs and allows for different configurations for carrying. It's
made of rigid plastic, which works for me especially when it's raining or I'm doing water activities. I have
other knives with sheaths made of nylon or leather, and it's a pain when they get wet.
Things that could be better:
- I agree with the other reviews that the blade was not as sharp as you might expect, especially since it's
advertised a 'sharp knife.'
- While the knife technically clicks into place in the sheath, if you jostle it hard enough when it's upside
down, it will come out of the sheath. Luckily, the nylon strap on the sheath stopped the blade from
completely coming out.
- The sheath separates so you can wear it on your belt vertically, or horizontally. Unfortunately, there are
no directions indicating the sheath does this, or how to do it (I discovered this through a video online).
Also, once you take it apart, it can be temperamental when putting it back together.
Overall, I think this knife is worth getting.
Hard to pass up a full-tang knife with sheath for this price. It's definitely not very sharp out of the box, and the spine is far from 90deg, but nothing a little bit of care can't fix. Feels fairly sturdy, I have a morakniv that is my all-time favorite but bought this to beat around a bit more with less care. Clicks into the sheath with a safety strap, and good for either lefties or righties (a problem some of us less-common humans deal with). Not the best out there, but quite good for the cost.
Surprisingly decent knife given it's price point. Like you, I have knives that cost multiples of this one's. But it is nice to have a knife that you can use/abuse with a clear conscience. The knife has a solid spine but needed some attention to get to the level of sharpness I prefer. The handle has a nice grip texture. The sheath and retainer strap seem strong enough.
this is my new favorite knife. I love it. Feels great, works great, looks great. Well made. Perfect tool.
Highly recommend
Way better fixed than I expected.
The kydex sheath is much nicer than those crappy leather and canvas ones.
The shorter length fits in my backpack perfectly
My son and I are part of a scouting-type organization. I wanted to get him a fixed blade knife to go along with his folding pocket knife to give him options for our outings. I got this one from Wildlance.
I'm impressed with this, especially given its price. It has a nice feel to it and has a good multi-mount sheath to go with it. The handle is comfortable.
My son is very small for a 12-year-old and feels comfortable and confident with this knife. He won't use it a lot, but I think it will be a good option for him when he does need it.
Great knife especially for craft, this is a great knife and we were actually surprised by how well it performed.
It's a pretty cool knife. Has a nice protective case and seems to be made of quality material. It's sturdy and a great gift for someone. I will say it's a little dull, so definitely get it sharpened.
this is a nice simple fixed blade that will get the job done when need be. very nice feel in the hand not super heavy but not light by any means. the handles material is nice as well in the hand and overall the blade is very sharp. the blade also seems to extend to the end of the handle giving it tons of stability and making this a very durable kit. again its nothing special but it will get the job done simply put
