Recently started carrying a fixed blade in addition to an assisted folder and wanted a knife with good steel and the VG10 met that requirement. Really like the knife but not so much the sheath as received it was way too tight. When I realized what was causing that I fixed that and am well pleased. The clip (?) that holds the ferrous rod pinches the side of the sheath at the top, removed that and the tension is perfect. Well pleased with this product
I did love my fire starter. I purchased it primarily because it was advertised as a multitool carabiner that was TSA compliant, which would make traveling to hike and camp in various states a lot easier for me. Had it confiscated the very first time I tried to fly with it. The agent informed me that this is common. So, great tool for what it does. Don’t believe the hype about it being acceptable to fly with
I am so sorry to hear of your experience with the TSA. Both Firebiner and Fire Escape are compliant with TSA regulations and should not have been confiscated. We met with TSA; they explained our carabiners are “TSA friendly.” Typically, TSA examines it, then recognizes that it cannot be used as a weapon and allows it to pass through without issue. They also told us that each TSA agent has their own discretion so if they personally felt it was hazardous, they could confiscate it, but this was very unlikely.
I purchased as a light weight useful tool to use when hiking or camping. I have not done either since receiving it, but I have tested it out and it starts my stove and cuts paracord easily.
So glad you were able to play with firebiner a bit, lighting your stove and cutting paracord. We hope it earns a spot in your camping and hiking gear or as your EDC keychain. Thank you for the great review and supporting our small business!
I haven’t used the knife outside of the house yet, but it seems to hold an edge well and feels good in the hand.
Thank you for the 5-star review! We hope you're able to enjoy using your Scout Feather outdoors soon. We'd love to see pics when you do. Thanks for your purchase and your great review! Happy adventuring!
This little knife is the kit! Fits so good in my hand and is SO balanced. Functional clip option for multiple types of carry. I use it as a neck knife with my Wazoo Viking Spark when hunting and hiking, Or clip on my pack as an EDC. Just a great FUNCTIONAL little knife. Extremely pleased. First knife from OE and given its performance it will not be my last!
Love this! Thanks for the 5-star review! We're so glad you love the Contour Feather and appreciate you taking the time to write such a glowing review! Thank you and happy adventuring!
