Utica Cutlery Survival Knife


Recommended Posts

I got my stimulus check awhile back from Uncle Donald and decided it to do a little stimulating. Being somewhat of a half assed American made knife collector I decided to shop around and see if there was anything American made that would catch my fancy. I checked creativelaserspeciaties on ebay, I purchased a pocket knife made by Utica Cutlery from Rob the owner a couple of years ago and liked what I received. I found a nice survival knife on his site made by Utica Cutlery and while I need another knife like I need a hole in the head I decided to buy one. I went for the last polished blade model he had with green scales, I am happy to say Utica has did themselves proud, very good build quality and sharp as heck (I Cut My Finger) and for under $100 a very good buy in my opinion for American made. And by the way Rob laser inscribes the blade for you for a personal touch.

This is my third Utica Cutlery knife and I like all three a lot, hopefully they can hang in there as they are one of the last American knifemakers in business.

As for the rest of the stimulus check it will go to the IRS to pay my taxes.:negative:

I like that the sheath has both a built in sharpener and what looks like a fire starter.

 

Was this a specific model knife.

 

Although like you, I need another knife like i need another gun but it is about want not need.

 

Was this purchased directly through utica cutlery via ebay or from another distributor on ebay?

 

I agree with the micarta looking grips this looks like a steal , and the kydex sheath for it, it is a steal for $100

 

I would like to try and find one, but it does not seem to be coming up.

 

Do you have a link available?

Creative laser specialties is an Ebay vendor out of Yorkville NY, a suburb of Utica. I do not know exactly his relationship with Utica Cutlery but I guess he a dealer and gets his knives directly from them and does his custom touches on them. His name is Rob but I do not know his last name I can say it has been a pleasure to do business with him.

You are correct about all the features of this knife and I am pretty pleased with it.

The knife model is UTK S4 survival, there are also other models

This is a link to his ebay store https://www.ebay.com/str/creativelaserspecialties

Nice blade. Congrats. USA made is easy to find, a lot of people/companies sell USA made knives. Some right here in NYS. Just have to look. But, you will pay for the blade as they aren't cheap. My Prodigy was made in Oregon and it's one tough knife.

Been looking at Becker lately, Maybe the BK-10 Crewman or the Drop Point Short, both are beasts.
