The knife is great but the sheath needs better retention, or mine did at least.

Not a chopper, use lamyard

Why not just thread some string through the lanyard hole? Seems to solve your problem

SRK stands for Search and rescue. Not survival. This was caused by sellers saying it is a survival knife. It is not!

No no no, you see the tip is designed to break off when hitting a bone, so it would cause more damage inside your opponent as he moves his body.

That's what there's a lanyard hole, tubers are the dumbest people alive.

Lanyard hole right here 😅😅😅

That's an all-round awesome knife for sure. But one thing that is deterring me from buying it it's actually the sheath. I've read somewhere that it can slowly dull the blade. Any thoughts on that?

Metal Jerry Can.

I need one of these! What would you say is the minimum volume (litres) for a tank?

Love the humour!😂 But, is one little container really enough?

Next option, is the sheath. CS sheaths are notorious for dulling edges quickly. Schrade is a sleeper knife IMO. You typically don't stab logs with a push dagger, rather soft tissue.

I am getting one.

Buy an axe instead!

Not a chopper dude!

The biggest problem with cold steel is cold steel, I'll stick with esee fixed blades and spyderco folders

I am from Germany: Before our authoroties banned the whole knife type "push dagger" (in German "Faustmesser") completely 2004, I had such practical knife as EDC. I needed a long time to tolerate the miss. If You are allowed to use it as EDC go on ! It is the best knife You can get, secure in use for allday cutting jobs and perfect to wear secretely. I still miss it up to today. 😉

I’m about to buy two of these

But my most important question is, does it have a 99° spine???

I did a video a while back on the SRK. A lot of people didn’t like it whereas others agreed. It’s look and feel is fabulous and if all one was ever going to do was slice or pierce, great! I absolutely do not like the handle construction, and I stand by that. It is too easy to loosen as far as survival is concerned. Since a great majority of us are not navy seals. It’s going to be used in the bush and out in the field. I don’t even need a knife to be full tang, but I don’t think this is as strong as others that have a rat tail tang. Don’t get me wrong I like it, but there are much stronger options around the same price

They put the lanyard hole there for a reason….use it.

Giving the handle a curve at the bottom would get in the way of knife grip changes in knife fighting. It would cease to be a good fighting knife. Use a lanyard for chopping. Learn how to set up and use a lanyard properly. Most people do it wrong.

See that little hole in the handle? That’s for a lanyard. Use a lanyard and it won’t slip out of your hand when using that chopping action you’ve described.

You can simply put a short length of paracord through the lanyard hole to improve retention when chopping.

Why would i chop wood with my knife, i have axe for that

Valid opinion about the handle, but you could add a lanyard and solv your issue 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had the same experience... Why thats hapenn? Wt can i do?

Add a lanyard

So glad the belt loop rotates

Who chokes back on a belt knife without a lanyard? Only issue I’ve ever had is that the sheath can sometimes contact the blade edge dulling the blade. Just have to be mindful when withdrawing or re-sheathing the knife.

🥴

It's called parachord, bud :)

Best review and comparison. Thank you

Nothing wrong with it since it’s like $35

Great review. Thanks

Allá por el 2005 visité la fábrica imacasa en Santa Ana El Salvador y casí me compro ése cuchillo, pero terminé comprando un machete tradicional salvadoreño que aún tengo en servicio en mi casa

Good job brother!!!

So not fitting your hand is the big deal breaker? When chopping. 🤔🧐😏 Try holding it properly and don't attack trees with it. It's actual purpose is a tactical stealth knife. Stabbing and slicing flesh.

The main problem with the SRK is that it's too damn awesome!

Simple fix: attach a heavy lanyard.

Can you still get these knives?🗡

Mine broke on the second day of batonning wood for a fire... not impressed at all

Love the design, like the steel, but the handle is shit. Tore mine after one day of use.

When you used the edge of your "Kukri" to strike your ferro rod. Now you have to resharpen it. Since you have a KLO. Go ahead and square up part of the spine, nearest the handle. With a real Khukuri, you cannot do this, due to the differential heat treating. But then again, my Ferro rod comes with a striker and a case.

Okay, I see the first problem with your "Kukri" its too light. So your wasting energy by having to use your body to power the blade. The Khukuri I have sitting next to me is heavy by the standards of some. But, all I have to do is guide it to where I want it to hit. Also, in a survival situation, find wood you can break easily, or make a fire and stick one end of the log in and keep pushing it in as it burns. Yes, I used to teach Wilderness Survival back in the 80's. The only thing that has changed, is some of the gear. I will be doing a three part series on the 7 C's of Survival on my YT channel soon.

CRKT is a pretty decent company. But if the Khukuri is not made in Nepal. I and many others who own real Nepalese Khukuri's, and I keep one next to my computer. It is a Khukuri Like Object. Now I'm not saying its not a good KLO, but thats just my two cents worth.

It is a piece of overpriced junk.

SRK is search and rescue, not survival! If you want to chop, use a lanyard.

My problem with SRK Compact is that it is a bad knife for carving, which is what I mostly do with my knives. Otherwise it is a nice knife.

Add a short lanyard to the handle, insert last two fingers into the yanyard and chop. It secures the knife in your grip quite well. Works for me.
