LionSteel M7 Knife Field Test and Review

Field test and review of LionSteels M7 A big Drop Point. The M7 is a big somewhat heavy drop point knife aimed, I believe, at people who want to chop rather than cut. Please do not comment that a saw is easier. Of course it is. This review is not about comparing hand saws or hatchets to knives. If you carry the M7 you may need to carry a smaller more practical knife, ie for hunting and fishing purposes (I certainly did). The M7 is good for chopping and possibly felling small trees, diameter no greater than 4 inches. I batoned with it (footage not included) it performs well as it is really just a big wedge. .It's very comfortable to hold and swing about and that's because some thought has gone into the handle design. The rounded spine makes the knife this size actually quite comfortable to use. *see my blog here. You can't use it for fishing, it's way too big I tried and made a mess of things. Ok you can cut steaks from big freshwater fish eg catfish etc but not possible to gut with it's too wide. You can hammer with it but it may void the warranty. Way too heavy for a hunting knife and ergonomics not well suited. Chopping vegies I found it was ok in this respect for food prep. You can use it to crack crustaceans open if u catch any. The scabbard has too many bolts in it to loose in the wilds u wont be taking any allen keys this small to fix it The scabbard belongs in the percussion section of an orchestra. It needs more thought for people who really will use this knife. I bet, Mmmmmmmmm???? I thinks best purpose hidden in a bug out vehicle??? The M7 is very difficult to remove from the scabbard, this has it's pluses as it is very secure but minuses as it won't be liked by some. Infact I see on Blade forums someone has had a very nice leather scabbard made for the M7. Ok seriously the M7 will be good for people who like to make creature comforts in camp where "camp" is 20km walk at least away from any vehicles, using it for fishing and hunting (struggling LOL) but just want that one Big Knife. It did stay sharp that's one thing. The LionSteel M7 is capable in skilled and unskilled ( I mean to say little outdoor experience) hands to do a lot I haven't had to sharpen it in about just under two months now but this is relative to what one does with the knife, suffice it to say, i'd expect this for the cost of this knife and reputation of LionSteel as a manufacturer. Finally a note why I tested the M7 knife. there is a trend at present for people buying big knives, let's face it almost all manufacturers have one to several models in their line up but how practical are they, and for what??? Well check out this latter point with a forthcoming video seeing this LionSteel M7 in action again in a mountainous environment and gathering food etc, so stay tuned. Update after over a years use now The M7 does rock overall. It's a big tough hard as nails, stay sharp (great Sleipner steel) very well made and thought out knife overall. Well suited for "survival" tasks if the need arises. BCT See my blog for a full description of this large blade. http://hardcorecampingtools.blogspot....
