Overview

Generally excellent perfect size and set up is unique and functional especially in field camping etc.
4 out of 5 as a few features are problematic for left handed carry. I thought the carry clip could be adjusted for horizontal carry. The clip is super tight! A bit difficult to secure it to pants/jesns/belt.
It would be 5/5 if the carry options and super tight clip were adjustable.
However overall I like the knife. Super sharp out of the box. Feels good in my hand. The set is very convenient and the honing and unthreaded hex for ferro rod
All in all a great setup
Highly recommended both as primary or as backup application.
Well thought out “all in one” tool!!!

Thank you for recommending it as both a primary and backup option. Happy adventuring!

The Scout Feather ia amazing and costumer service too!

I fell in love with this knife as soon as I opened the box. dots great in my big hands and very sharp out of the box. The ergonomic design fits great in my wife's hands too. The hero rod launches big sparks!! I did notice that the knife came with different scales then the ones I had ordered so I emailed them and had an immediate and friendly response. After sending emailing Joe Brown a photo of the scales he said he was sending me another knife and that I could gift the first one. These glow scales are really cool and Im going to put the other in my wife's stocking. Thanks again guys for everything and happy holidays!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review. We're so happy to hear that you love the Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife and that it works well for both you and your wife. We apologize for the mix-up with the scales, but we're glad we were able to resolve it quickly for you. We appreciate your support and hope you have a wonderful holiday season! Happy adventuring!

Initial Thoughts

I purchased the knife to give as a Christmas gift to my daughter. I've only been able to give the knife a quick inspection, but the construction of both the knife and sheath appear to be very good quality. The knife feels small in my hand but I am certain in my daughter's hand it will be a great fit. I am considering ordering one for myself to replace the larger, heavier blade that I have carried for years.

Thank you for leaving a review for our Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife. We're glad to hear that you found the construction to be of good quality and that it will make a great gift for your daughter. We appreciate your support and are happy to hear that you're considering getting one for yourself as well. Let us know if you have any questions or need any assistance. Happy adventuring!

Replacement Spoon for Omnitensil

I ordered a replacement spoon part for my omnitensil kit as the original one weirdly didn't seem to work with the handle part at the time. I received the replacement part and it worked, the original part works again as well so I'm happy to at least have a back up. It was shipped in a timely manner, and they are a local company here in Colorado and I'm glad to support them.

Hi there! We're so glad to hear that the replacement spoon for your OmniTensil kit worked well for you and that you now have a backup. We always strive to provide timely shipping and we're happy to be a local company in Colorado. Thank you for your support, we truly appreciate it! Have a great day.

Clip way too tight

Great little knife but... As others have said, the clip is way to tight. I tried to clip it to my canvass pants pocket I could not get it over the top seam. Then tried it on the waist of the pants and the flange inside the clip caught on the seam. Lucky I was home. Took off the pants and used a T6 driver to remove the clip and then slid out the pants. This is unusable at this point. What's your progress on the new clips? AND, will you send a new one to me for free so I can use this knife.

Thank you for your input. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the tight clip on our Scout Feather Adventure Survival Knife. As you noted in your review, we're currently working on improving the design of the clip. The original design intent for this clip was for sternum straps and webbing on backpacks. We have found it does work with canvas style belts but is too tight/grippy with thicker belts and materials (particularly with leather belts). But we hear you and the recommendations of others as well and the new clip design is in the works. We'll send out a notice when they're available. In the meantime, we hope you can make use of Scout Feather as a neck knife, or with the clip on a sternum strap, other webbing or a canvas belt. We appreciate your support and understanding. You obviously love the outdoors and we have nothing but love for you. Hope you have some awesome outdoor adventures ahead!
