Survival Neck Knife with Sharpener, Fire Starter & Compass by Frog & CO

Made well & good bargain ! Purchased 2 as gifts for wife & grandson. Liked it so well purchased 1 for myself

GOOD KNIFE, GREAT SIZE FOR NECK KNIFE, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE A BIGGER COMPASS BUT IF WE TAKE THE PRICE INTO ACCOUNT, EVERYTHING IS GREAT.

It's very convenient and handy. And sharp.

This knife was included in my last mystery bundle. I like the size and weight of the knife. However I have found a couple of drawbacks. First, the knife doesn't stay in the sheath. When hanging as designed, hilt down, the knife slides right out of the sheath. Secondly, the built in compass is one of the cheap bubble compasses that you find on those paracord survival bracelets. It might be okay in a pinch but I wouldn't want to have my survival depend on it. My suggestion is to spend the money on a decent military style compass. Third, and I found out about this the hard way, make sure if you use the compass to remove the knife from the sheath. Having the knife near the compass made the needle swing 180° from where it should be. Fourth, the signal mirror is about the size of a nickel. I'm not sure that's going to be a very effective signal mirror. Buy a regular size signal mirror and have it in your gear bag. On the plus side, there is a built-in knife sharpener and fire starter rod. The cord to hang it from your neck is pretty much a shoelace. I would swap it out with paracord in case you need a little help getting a fire started. The knife itself is a decent knife. The accessories could use some improvements. I'd keep it in my gear bag, not around my neck, until some improvements were made.

This is a quality crafted tool/survival Knife. I can’t wait to search out the whole catalog or if there is more to come in future sizes of survival kits or knives. If I loose it. I would buy another one quickly and the price was right.
