Review on Utica UTKS5TH Fixed Micarta Handle by Ken Beasom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great knife made in the USA

I've researched a lot of US made knives online and settled on this one. Overall, I really like it and would recommend it as a carry-on knife in the wilderness. Likes: - 1095 carbon steel - black finish - polymer body - fire resistant handle and weight of the knife (knife feels really good in hand despite the somewhat chunky look. - MADE IN USA - sharpener in case - worldcard handles - full thick shaft - price - The case can be worn horizontally or vertically Dislikes: - The clip on the back of the case is flimsy and doesn't attach well to your belt, causing the case to flap around when you wear it I'll change something better to clip it to your belt more securely The powder coated finish looks like a painted finish that has seen more of a zinc phosphating but overall it's a durable powder coated knife and for the price it's a great bargain Please check out my video review.

Pros
  • Kydex sheath
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
