I have the Flissa and I love it more than my high end knives got it for 20 dollars and it is the best 20 dollar knife I have ever come across. very well made knife I am sure it will last a lifetime I would put it up agents a 200 dollar knife any day it is made in china but it is made very well I am finding out now days a lot of chines knives are just as good as American knives if not better and cost way less. they work for me and that is all I care about. to each his own.
Just bought my second one off Amazon it is that good this Flisa the sheath is a bit umm but functional but for the price you can’t go wrong I’m amazed really amazed for the price 👍
I just got mine in Black G10. I like the heft and feel better than the BenchMade Bushcraft and doesn't have the weird ass embelishment angles in the handle. It's all well rounded edges. Seem to be a no bullshit, right on design with decent enough steel. I'm really happy with what I got.
Agreed , the Benchmade Bushcrafter is a waste of money. The only thing I wish is that the flissa had some palm swell but adding new scales or liners will be an easy fix.
"Channel's so tiny" - but has some really great videos! 👍🏻 In fact, it's because of your review of the trivittata that I finally put that knife on my list! And that's saying something, because I've had some issues with Condor in the past... I know there's different thoughts out there about Chinese knives. My 'real life' experience has demonstrated to me not to give them one cent that I don't need to. YMMV, but that's where I've drawn my line... But I've no beef with anyone if they do otherwise - we all just follow what we know. 🤷🏼♂️ Great review.
That's awesome, Condor probably seen a small jump in Trivitatta sales this month ...😄 Their sales department will be confused as to why cause that video has lots of views. It was my first purchase from them in years , I'll most likely get another knife from cause of it. I'm looking at that nee Aqualore in 14C28N steel. The Bushlore in 1075 is why I stopped buying their stuff back in the day. Totally get it ,the China thing is really scary, especially considering almost all of our medications are made through China. Thanks for the kind words 🙏
Seeing you beat the snot out of their other blades made my purchase easier. That D2 seems to be legit. Thanks for the sub and comment bro, I love your reviews. 👍
Awesome to hear . Thanks for letting people know . Imho, it's the best deal you can find in this category. Considering a Mora companion is now about $19, and the next best thing would be a Bushcraft Black, which I don't care for that much is around $50+.
I have the smaller black flat grind with plastic sheath. The edge bevel needed a little thinning and sheath mod to hold the blade in better. It's a keeper though. So is this one. I pay no attention to China blade comments. Politics aside, they have learned the art of knife making just fine. Better than some others.
I feel the same way.. I'm not big on those total rip-off clones, though ,but this flissa brand seems to have their own style. This blade is strangely familiar yet not , I can see styles like the handle looking like a Becker, but it's not a rip-off. I think I might look into getting something else from Flissa down the road. I also have a couple of blades from that brand, Watchman/Brother Blades. Now those come close to being ripoffs, BUT the branding and style is still enough to not bother me . They both are slight copies of Esee knives. They're actually very nice knives with stainless steel and at a fair price. Thanks for the comment 👍
@rollypollyguy3976 Yep, I rehandled this one and another one on separate videos. I like them enough to upgrade um. It's basically a $20 D2 blank in my eyes , best deal for projects I have ever seen. A blade blank of this quality will usually run around $70 . It's hard to find D2 scandi blanks anymore cause makers have a hard time heat treating that steel. The designer of the Ned Foss blade was upset to see this knife . He had no idea Flissa was producing his blade before the release of his sea lion. Kinda sucks. ..I don't who allowed Flissa to use his design? I'm guessing it's the same factory Ned Foss uses and some contract stuff was in the small print 🤷♂️
@airiksknifereviews9548 That's ridiculously awesome!! My guts saying what you're saying, same factory. It's a smoking deal and I favor the green to black scales.
@rollypollyguy3976 The sheaths work but do not hold up well. For $20-25 ya can't beat it esp if ya make handles its a great project blade. After I rehandled mine they felt like completely different blades. I honestly would think they were a premium brand if it didn't say Flissa on um . Excellent stuff.
The wood-handled version for just under $20 is the real bargain. The wood handle feels even better than the G10 scales, and the brown sheath is more bushcrafty.
Got the wood one. Could not take the shock of batoning. Covers split. Whoops! Samurai wrap paracord it is! Works great! Knocked the snot out of it! Keeps the edge! Worth it without the handle covers and can’t be beat! D2 baby!
I'll eventually rehandle mine with curly birch and liners. I don't baton to big of stuff myself so should be fine. Honestly this blade is cheaper for me than buying blanks . The edge is dialed in so good, it's better than most my spendy blades.
Brisa made here in Finland. That Flusa looks amazing for that price Not everything from China is junk😂. I have a couple of Brother knives. Also grew value for money (and Chinese). Great review buddy.
Totally Agee, China has some good ones out there . Ah yes Finland 🇫🇮! Love Brisa , my kephart blank and wood will be here tomorrow. I forgot to order the corby bolts so I'm going old-school again 😉 Thanks Brother .
So far , I'm gonna bang it around some more and make sure that D2 doesn't start chipping. Even if it does, there's a thin enough apex to convex it a bit to stop any chipping. It's already done better than a couple RealSteel knives I owned in the past. Yet it does remind me of the Real Steel Bushcrafter series also China made. Thanks for watching and for the comment brother I really dig your knife vids, and ya have an awesome collection of blades.
@davidglazener7921 it's to run a lanyard from the back to front that puts pressure on the back of your hand . I think it's totally not needed . I rehandled this knife in a new video and I left that hole covered. It's awesome with a new handle , I ordered a new one to make another cause I liked it that much. 😄
I stumbled across this knife by chance on Amazon, picked it up because I wanted a decent looking camp knife for my son to use that I wouldn’t cringe when he beats the heck out of it (because it’s cheap). 2 full weekends in a row of camping and my boy chopping down limbs, whittling branches, and hacking off knots, and this knife (after cleaning the dirt/sap off) still cut through paper! Needless to say, I bought 2 more immediately (1 for me and 1 for my daughter). Great freaking camp knives
I am planning to rehandle this knife and adding a new sheath . My dog of 15 years had to be put down so I'm a bit out of sorts and haven't been doing knife stuff. I will put this knife to good use once I get a thicker handle....That said the steel is legit , but it could use a micro bevel or slight convex. It's very hard D2 , probably above 60 hrc .
Thanks, It's the best scandi I've used in a long time. It's crazy how dialed the edge is. For a $25 knife there's nothing on the market that beats it imo.
I've been seeing this knife in Amazon a lot lately and was wondering about the quality, so thanks for the review. I'm going to pick up that Enzo knife kit as well. I got the Nordic blade with scales in the other day, got here very quickly once odered. Looks very nice and can't wait to get a chance to put it together after I get some g10 liners. 👍
That's awesome , I think I'm gonna buy a couple more of those Flissa knives to rehandle and make sheaths for. Glad ya snagged an Enzo Elver it's a very good knife to have in your kit.
Great review and it puts to shame knives costing $ hundreds more. With the Flissa you are getting a really great knife at a give-away price, no need to spend your money on big name brands to get quality.
@billballbuster7186 I agree , my latest video is a regandle of this knife which proves that point even more. It's now equally as good if not better than many knives in the $100 to $200 range. I used a BPS sheath so $16 sheath $22 knife and ya have a killer rig for under $40.
Best scandi deal online . .. You can not find a better knife for the money. You can't even buy a knife blank that good for $25. The best I can find is the Nordic Knife Design Forester blank for $39. This is a working full tang ready to go D2 steel bushcraft knife with a spine that's just as sharp as my Garbergs. It should be sold out , but people don't trust D2 from China . Even if it was a bit chippy it's still worth $25 in my opinion ...Just convex it bit if it does get micro chipping. Oh well , more for me 😁
I think it's legit , their survival blades seem to be pretty good. I'd be more concerned if it was a Bark River Knife to be honest 😅 Jokes aside , I will be taking it through some testing....It looks identical to Real Steels D2 blades , I almost think it's made for Flissa by the same maker.
I was using it the other day and realized I forgot to sand down the over sharp spine. I don't like the tip area with a sharp 90° spine it tares up my thumb. So I took a rock to rub it dull....It did absolutely nothing. It's definitely D2 with a 60 to 62 Rockwell hardness if I had to guess. I haven't seen any chipping so far, I've had D2 on scandi blades before and had micro chipping bit not on this one.
Remember in the old days when you bought one decent knife and just used it everyday for 30 years instead of having multiple and only using them as fidget toys once in awhile and then putting them away all well daydreaming of the properties of various types of steels............. Piss on that !! BORING !!!!!
Have ya found your one knife ? Or are you window shopping for a new one ? This one is pretty good for $25 and you can probably use it for your next 30 years of use.
Like a stretched out bk2 ....maybe call it a BK2Crafter 😆 The more I use it the more I really like it. That thing eats through wood .I should call it the Hungry Beaver 🦫 LOL
🤯 this is my knife. This is really my knife. Because i designed it and nedfoss produced it. I am shocked that they steal my design. Please contact me .

Totally agree 💯💯💯
Me to I've got ganzo in my pocket and Flissa on my belt all I carry now days is Chinese knives
thank you very much. :-)
I bought 3
They are a fantastic blade for fire starting and crafting
I keep a Prodigy as a companion to my kershaw camp 10 in my truck
Nice !
The Prodigy is a perfect car knife. I trust my life with that knife and use it for all my ...abusive situations .
Just ordered mine, I’m a sucker for a good D2 steel blade. GANZO knives are also amazing for the buck if you like D2
Great review. I appreciate the work you put in.

@@airiksknifereviews9548 I've been watching those brother knives. Have to give one a try soon.
what do you want for $20.00 ? Take Flissa off & put any overpriced American brand & all sudden its $200
It’s a great deal I bought another after getting the first one.
This is the Nedfoss Sea Lion but with a green handle. Both rock D2

@lurkndog I'll likely snag one up. These are such a great deal why not have a few .

Ah yes Finland 🇫🇮!
Love Brisa , my kephart blank and wood will be here tomorrow. I forgot to order the corby bolts so I'm going old-school again 😉
Thanks Brother .
BPS are great values too.
Seems like it would make a good bushcraft blade

Why does it have that extra lanyard hole on the upper part of the scales?? Never seen that before!
