Just received mine today. I think this design is the best I’ve found at an all around slicy camp knife. The broadness of the blade allows for a thin edge and a thick stock. Specifically regarding the blade edge extending down below the handle guard is a great feature because it allows the knife to also be used like a chef’s knife for food prep. You can use it on a cutting surface and the whole edge makes contact. Best “do it all” design I’ve seen yet.
I'm here because of Aaron over at Gid Tac. He beat the living snot out of this thing in his review. Glad to see you put it in the hands of someone that actually uses their stuff.
This knife is totally AWESOME dude. I will say this is one of my favorite knives in this size. I definitely will be doing a part two on this knife in the future.
TJ, so well thought out, I'll be picking one of these up to add to my Overland and Overland Sport set! I have to admit that I have steered clear of A2 steel knives, but you have me sold now. 👍
Your approach to design and detail is what really draws me to your knives. I have several now including the LT5. If you ever do the LT5 in MagnaCut, I'll definitely have another.
Just ordered mine, and I can't wait. Your overland is my all-time favourite knife that I use every day, and seeing your passion for this knife, I know it's going to be a winner
Howdy TJ! Well I have 4 of your knives including this one so obviously like your craft and style. Thanks for being different and walking your own trail! Saddle up!
Currently have the Overland and Overland Sport, and they are by far my favorite knives in my collection. The Sport has been in the pocket daily since getting over 2 months ago and the full size lives in my backpack. Also been looking at the LT 5 and Confidante for next knives I get.
I love your knives and all your videos and I feel very inspired! Do you have any plans on doing a video on how you got started and how you grew your business?
wow tj this is why your designs are some of the best out there you put so much time, thought and research into this knife and sheath i just want to get one because of that fact. i am not an outdoorsman but if i was i'd get a couple of these to have for every situation super utilitarian, perfect size and a2 is highly underrated sharpens easily. it also has a "cool" factor which your knives always exudes. you gotta do more videos so much great content! also great price! thanks TJ!
I have been using this knife over the last month or so and to say I really like this knife would be an under statement. TJ has done a great job with the design & execution of this blade. 1. The edge. I have beaten the holy hell out of the edge to try to make it chip. I have been chopping into All the different wood we have in Alaska. The most I have been able to do is make a small section of the apex roll and it easily straightened out on a ceramic rod. 2. Handle. I am now a huge fan of Richlite. I like it more than G10 & a lot more than micarta. It feels really good in the hand to hold the knife. With a hard grip you don’t even feel the retaining screws. 3. Sheath. TJ has really improved on his kydex. I had one of the early Overland models and to be honest his kydex was mediocre & hard to replace the knife. This sheath is absolutely perfect and it doesn’t scratch the cerakote. 4. The cerakote is holding up surprisingly well. There is no exposed steel. Yes there is some expected wear but no underlying exposure. 5. The 90-deg spine is perfect on a ferro rod/ fire steel. I lit a fire yesterday with a single strike. 6. Edge holding and sharpening. The steel holds a great edge due to the higher Rockwell. Very easy to sharpen on my KME. 7. Cost. This is a great value. $195 for a perfect Alaskan bush knife? There are so many more expensive knives that don’t have near the features. This is a very very good knife. A lot of thought and work went into this. I absolutely love this knife. Greg PS. I bought this knife with my own money and this review are my views. I take this knife out in the woods with me daily because it’s a great knife.
Saw this and was Highly impressed with it, even more impressed when I got one in my hands... Excellent work TJ, would like to know what the edge angle do you put on these?
God willing this will be my next Aquisition, ironically I was chatting with @thelasthuntsmanoutdoors earlier about how much I liked the design and price.
