The Pocket clip is too deep. With the clip attached, unsheathing the knife is a snap. Very quick to the hand. However, The deep carry clip makes it unsafe to re-sheath with 1 hand. The re-sheathing requires the offhand to expose the sheath's opening. Don't know about you, but I'm not sticking a bare blade in my pocket.
These are great knives! Got mine when they were on Kickstarter and really enjoy it. Fits great in your hand. Good retention in the sheath, yet its easy to remove with a thumb push. It's a great value for everything you get. Farro rod, sheath, sharpener, whistle. (Don't forget, use the back of the knife on the farro rod.)
The clip fits well on a backpack strap, but might want to grab the belt clip or pocket clip, depending on how you like to carry.
When I get another it will be the Slicer for food time.
I bought some for my nephews for Christmas. Perfect gift for a Boyscout.
It's great to buy from a company that takes pride in their products and their customer service.
Wow — thank you for such a thoughtful review and for being part of our Kickstarter journey! It means a lot to know the knife’s design and details are serving you well in the field. Love that you’re passing the adventure on to your nephews too — that’s what it’s all about. We truly appreciate your support and trust.
I have worn this as an EDC for years now and it is as good as new with every day use.... Just a little honing here and there
Hey, thanks for the awesome review and 5-star rating! So glad you're enjoying the Phoenix Feather. Happy adventuring!
The handle in relationship to the blade is what makes this survival knife great
Thanks for the kind words! Mike (OE founder, designer & engineer behind all OE gear) put a lot of thought into getting that handle-to-blade balance just right, so it’s awesome to hear you notice the difference. Appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Thank you!
Looks like durable rubber cover. Should protect the lighter well.
Thanks for taking the time to give your feedback and for the 5-star review!
