It's pattern welded steel, I checked it's real.

I saw one on there with a wood grip and no guard with a double edge for cheap, handmade but not the best idea. That's the only drawback, they're made well but kinda crude, but heck for the price & amazons easy returns a great deal. I think part of the reason they're built solid is they use better pre-made pattern welded steel, while other ones use low grade whatever can be found steel. By the way, it's so long I can see it being used to stop a wild boar, cheap price to save a life.

​@theroomofhiddenpredispositions When I saw your knife review, I knew this is a Hunting Surrival Wilderness Personal Safety Defensive Device against dangerous attacking animals like Bears or Wild Boars. I like the Leather Handle one for $24.99, your model came back in stick @ $27.99 , still an excellent bargain based on what you state of your experiences testing it, you sold me on making a purchase! Sometimes one can indeed find good quality depebdable hand made items at low cost, like this knife and its siblings series from TZ Knifes, as you did! I will test them and if the results are good,I will recommend them to my Kaido Ojamaa-VKJV Universal Bullets Fishing Survival Sinker Weight Customer base as an addional layer of Personal Safety Self Defense Device for Wilderness Defense purposes. Keep up the good work and videos coming!

That's what I was thinking! Finding out in a couple of days. 23 bucks? I'll bite!

There are a lot of crap knives, only reason I made a video on this one is for the price it's a solid knife. Just don't cut down a small hedge tree like me, it took the abuse but it's still abuse.
