DO NOT BEND!
Bought this knife to make into a spear and when I was doing a little bit of stabbing (as you do) when I tried to remove it from my target the tip snapped off, I have no complaints with the fit and finish or the edge retention but the tip should not have broken the easily, it seems that any amount of side to side bending is likely to break the blade which can be especially problematic if you are using it for throwing (spear or otherwise)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent knife
Reviewed in Canada on March 3, 2022
An amazing knife top to bottom does everything from carving, wildling, feather sticks and food prep but this things main strong suit would have to be batoning, the thing is indestructible so you dont have to worry about banging on it and the large blade gives you lots real estate for your baton. It also throws very well if your into that and you can also easily create a spear with it for hunting or protection or to simply have some fun and throw at some trees. Some people have complained about the handle turning in their hand while chopping and i fixed this issue with a simple wrap of hockey tape and now its perfect. Overall amazing knife for the cost and would definitely buy it again.
