Bamboo Knife

Comments about Bamboo Knife:

Folks!

I'm a 55 year old knife guy, and this item is one of coolest I've had the privilege to acquire (in today's world of paranoid bureaucrats).

It is advertised as a garden tool... lol!! Sure, it will perform admirably, within specs, for that purpose.

After receiving mine in the mail, and due inspection, I could never bring myself to abuse such a work of art for garden chopping!

Mine sets with my prize cooking/slicing/chopping cutlery.

...'got one for my ol Pop too!

Dang! Duluth... you got some righteous folks hunt'n down "can't-live-without" items!!

The only thing "not so great" about this item is the folks who buy it to chop rope off'n their john-boat props... (aforementioned dudes: Please go to the local Army/Navy store for stuck-prop chop'n tools: surplus entrenching tools and bayonet's, are a better buy for bass boats.

Life is good for those whoe love the smell of a campfire.

Merry Christmas to all!

YES. I would recommend this to 10x10 friends!

The kinife is sharp and easy to use. Often use the knife to shave or split small pieces of wood for kindling. Only downside is it needs a sheath.

Comments about Bamboo Knife:

This tool makes clearing light or heavy brush an easier chore than using a standard sized machete in tight spaces. It has enough weight to cut off smaller branches and easily takes down taller/thicker brush. The blade is sharp and the back-strap is thick, so it will be useful for a good period of time

I could not cut a rope that was wrapped around the prop of my boat.

Comments about Bamboo Knife:

Great for light pruning in my olive grove and other trees. It is easy to use and sharpen, holds edge. The handle is a bit weird. I have already cut myself once, incompetent Ninjas beware.

Comments about Bamboo Knife:

While this knife works well for various garden uses, to split bamboo and small pieces of wood, it is a perfectly designed blade. Thick enough to use a mallet to persuade the blade through a tough bit of bamboo stock, and just long enough to use as a handy cutting knife for small branches, etc. The paper-thin plastic sheath which comes with it is the only negative - it would be great to see a nice leather sheath offered as an option to protect this really sharp edge.

Comments about Bamboo Knife:

Very handy for camping, hunting, or just working

I took this blade out of the box and have cut piles of firewood, split small logs, trimmed back branches, and it still has a good enough edge for food preperation around the campfire. I've never needed to sharpen it!

Comments about Bamboo Knife:

I actually bought it for when I barbeque. Instead of having to haul out the axe or maul, this tool is great for splitting smaller chunks of wood with the help of a mallet or hammer.

It is one of the sharpest knives in my house.
After Christmas I had a large number of cardboard boxes and a small trash can. So I decided to recycle as much as possible, but the site required all the boxes to be broken down. I took my bambpoo knife sliced and diced the boxes into a large number of more easily managable flats, filled my van and went to the nearest recycle site. A quick dressing with a sharpening steel and it was as sharp as ever. Great product!
