Remove the set screw that holds the blade in place, remove the blade, and fill the opening with JB Weld, coating the tang also. Insert the screw before the JB Weld sets, and the knife will be better than new in 24-48 afters after the JB Weld cures.
My brother in-law bought me this exact knife. This thing is no joke. Sharp right out the package. I've always had knifes. I'm Canadian. I've had some of the greatest knives. I loved this one the most. It's comfortable with gloves, or without gloves.. . This is one of the greatest knives🇨🇦
I pulled the set screw out drilled all the way throw and put a pin in to hold blade into the handle. Took the kit out added to it to make better Like water proof matches better fishing kit and for a cheep $8.00 knife it’s a good backup just have to put some work into it
Gordon is a store brand of H.F. 3Cr steel is a softer but still durable grade that is highly rust resistant, therefore a good choice for a blade that will be exposed to the great outdoors. Just know that you will be sharpening it a little more often, depending on the amount of heat treating it got at manufacture. If the matches were not waterproofed, you can make them so by dipping them into shellac. The wood splitting here was a good test of blade durability, but I would in practice only split until I could force the wedge open by hand, saving wear. As a $10 spare, as long as you remove the compass before splitting (much smaller pieces of) wood, and don't baton it too hard, you should be okay.
I put the survival-contents of the handle into an empty paper nickel roll (and, left a little triangular flap up at the 'top' end), and put them back into the handle that way, to make it easier to get them out of the handle. And, you can just remove them from the handle [they can then fit pretty well inside the sheath], and replace them with an actual roll of nickels/quarters for added weight and mass (and money; another survival item); it fits very nicely inside the handle. Maybe add the appropriate hex-key, and a small diamond sharpening stone, to the survival-contents that came with the knife. 😉
Nice video, might pick one up just to have lol. As far as the compass I think it definitely would be ideal to take it off when doing any heavy chopping or splitting since seeing yours falling off.
The two best purposes for it is quick notching branches for lashing and I used mine on dead wood to make dust for kindling lighting. I know I'd rather use a pruning saw to cut wood, carry a HF folding one when I go camping.
@@MNWoodland okay! I have also seen where people remove the hex, drill through and pin the blade with a bit of epoxy. These aren't really available here in Canada that I have seen but might make a cheap and cheerful project!
Mine came out when batoning some wood , none of my matches worked . I drilled out set screw and replaced with a nut and bolt grounded down to handle works fine now

Me who just put some gorilla super glue and is praying it works: Update: i put some more and it hasnt even been a minute, the blade is almost completely tight
Is the blade being held in by a single screw? No wonder it’s loose. They should have added at least 3 screws to prevent the blade from getting loose like that
Rambo will be wanting his knife back shortly, he has all these POWs to recue, but without the knife there is just nothing he can do about anything and his 10 dollar fundraiser didn’t pan out as expected.
Most people don't beat knives with wood or split logs with one...that's what an axe is for. If anyone ever hit any of my knives like that they would not be standing up for long...
When showing a blades sharpness, using paper means nothing. Cmon guys, we know this. You get what you pay for. Ok, on a budget. Buy a Mora or a coldsteel, etc. These knives can be dangerous. A simple victorinox kitchen knife, using a home made sheath is far better and useful.

Or just get an Esee 6 or Becker BK9 .
Don’t want the piece of shit anyway

Tighten up that set screw it will tighten back up
I did end up tightening later on.
3Cr13MoV has an edge retention like a warm piece of butter.

Thank you for making this video. It was very useful and informative
Thanks!
I had one in middle school but the screw popped out, I was super sad
Wsy better than nothing. I was told yrs ago that the saw on the knives werent really made for sawing wood but was for descaling fish.
The two best purposes for it is quick notching branches for lashing and I used mine on dead wood to make dust for kindling lighting. I know I'd rather use a pruning saw to cut wood, carry a HF folding one when I go camping.
to MNWoodland I bought the same knife but the compass shows the wrong direction
Did the set screw just rattle loose? Would be interesting if you came up with a DIY fix for the loose blade.
Yes, with a hex key I was able to tighten the blade again.

Update: i put some more and it hasnt even been a minute, the blade is almost completely tight
it would have been more reasonable for the prise if the design was simpler
Is this sufficient strictly in the case I were to be charged by a feral hog? I know a rifle or handgvn is ideal but...
Would probably do some damage.
Is the blade being held in by a single screw? No wonder it’s loose. They should have added at least 3 screws to prevent the blade from getting loose like that
Yeah it’s junk.
Where did you get them gloves
Mil. Surplus Shop

I will try to get in touch…
@@MNWoodland That’s a relief

The blade is just held in by set screws.
Yeah that is why it loosened up by the end.
Put that sardine can opener away before someone comes through there with a real survivor Knife 😆
Superglue
I have it it’s $10- what do you want
How about a ten dollar Mora
Yes the mora is definitely a better option.
Look guys it's a knife not a axe let's see what a knife was designed for cutting meat go to the butcher and get a pig to cut up
Cheap knives are dangerous.
Yes they are
No.
Right, but it was worth a test!
The resources used in producing these are wasted.
Horrible knife
Indeed.
