VIGIL II Fixed Blade | 2.6" 5Cr15 Blade | Integral Steel | HX OUTDOORS D-314

I got to use the Vigil II, it comes with some cord, so you can neck carry it. I just pocket dropped mine, I plan to make a leather sheath for it. One thing to mention, I had to heat up the sheath it came with to close up the tabs a little. It was a little loose. Nothing bad. It came sharp and ready to use, and that's how I used it. I cut a few boxes up, and used it around the yard with some pruning. I made a tent peg while doing that, just to see how it would do. It worked well for that, along with a feather stick. It will need a 90 degree mod on the spine in order to strike a ferro rod though. It was also a good throwing knife, even if only to test its durability, it did well even though it's not a throwing knife. After using it, and doing some durability testing, it did well. I did run it across my stones and ceramic rod after testing it. The misses at the beginning of throwing it did dull the edge. No chips or bends, just wasn't sharp enough to cut paper well. Conclusion I think it's a great knife for the price. I will keep it in my backpack, it will be nice to have at camp. Mine will get the spine mod.
