This is now my second knife of the "brand" Columbia USA. Of course, a retail brand. This knife has probably never touched American soil and safely can therefore not be called Americans. Still, I highly recommend it. After positive Efahrung with another Columbia I have given this a Meser Chanze. And this did not disappoint. The sheath in the delivery condition is to forget, does not believe that this wide participates in its original condition walks, bush craft activities or the daily use. Ind needle thread out and reinforce the weak points and then you ne proper sheath. The knife itself is well suited for normal Inddor and outdoor use and not some fair scrap. It is full tang, the tang is consistent through the handle. So something Batoning's inside. For very hard Spalrabeiten of something soft steel but is unsure turn! For stainless steel and its quality I have found nothing, but it will be a typical Chinese steel, approximately equivalent to a normal ASI420. He can of course bring swiftly with the simplest means to focus. But Be prepared that it needs to be sharpened after hard use. The blade shape and length tells me too much. The finger wave is not at all times useless when it comes to finer work. One can not expect miracles from this knife. It is a simple measure of an opportunity campers. Or for someone who is looking for a slightly longer blade, but do not want to spend so much money. In my case it has taken the place of a backup knife in the glove compartment of my car. When times somewhere quickly need a knife you fix a useful working tool at hand. Even as a workshop knife I can imagine it, or for the tackle box, since it is rust free. Overall, 4 stars, because you get an operational piece of steel here for really small money.
