I’ve had mine for about 6 weeks and using it daily. This is a great knife. Easy to sharping. Very tough. The Richlite scales are very comfy and temperature neutral meaning the handle won’t get cold. It’s been around 40 degrees in Alaska where I live. The price point is spectacular. A custom knife for less than 2 bills with fantastic kydex, handle and steel with 62-63 Rockwell. I’ve experienced no chipping with chopping. I highly recommend this knife!

Comment from an old dealer who will never be camping again. Yes, you have a winner. The first thing that I did, before your brother's comment, was to look at how broad the blade was. I said to myself, why is the blade so broad? Then it struck me. The broadness of the blade was consistent with the handle and when slicing, it added weight and you simply wouldn't have to make repeated cuts because the blade was narrow. Then your brother essentially indicated the same thing in his comments.

Hey! I got in on the first run of these. I loved my Overland so much I stayed on the Schwarz email list. Happened to be in the market for a camp knife when these came out. It hasn't seen any hard use yet since I haven't been able to get out but my first impressions are very positive.

I can’t believe with all the knives that have been through your hands this is the first A2 knife you’ve had. It’s nice to see more of it available. A2 in my opinion is head and shoulders above 1095, just as easily sharpened but better performance. Better still if you regularly strop A2 you rarely need to sharpen it. The downside to me is I dislike coatings on blades. I’ve never seen a blade with natural patina that looks bad over time, coatings mostly wear and don’t stand the test of time.

while a lot of people look for a slimmer side profile, there are a lot of tasks that a tall blade like that can really increase it's utility. I really like the overall looks of this one. it is out of my budget range, but I can see where this would be a very good option.

Looks like an excellent knife. A2 is a good steel and the Cerakote will help with corrosion resistance, and I'm an absolute fan of Richlite. I like the depth of the blade, which allows a fine slicing edge even with a 5/32 thickness. My question to you is this: which would you personally take given a choice between the Lost Trail 5 and the LionSteel T5 (or T5B)?
@ronp4529
2 ай бұрын
The A2 seems impressive, but it's still what's holding me back from buying it because I'm worried they would release an uncoated Magnacut.. and that would be exactly what I'm looking for.

Some knives are like cars that had early aero designs of the '50s-'60s that looked sleek with fins and flowing lines, but weren't actually aerodynamic (gas station knives). Other knives are like cars which have extensive computer modeling and wind tunnel design optimization (Tesla/C8 Corvette). This is the latter

A2 is a tool steel...not a 'carbon' steel, it's got 5 times more chromium and as much manganese and molybdenum as it does carbon. Bark River Knives also makes lovely convex ground knives in A2 and 3V apart from stainless steel options. Richlite is Paper Micarta.
@gideonstactical

Yes, I may have missed spoken slightly. It’s still has enough carbon in it. It can rust pretty easy if not taken care of but definitely better than 1095. As an example, D2 steel is more rust resistant than A2.
