About GEAR AID Akua Blunt Tip Paddle Knife
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
66% praised for its razor-sharp blade
The initial impression of the knife was good. The serrations were super sharp and the blade was decently hollow ground, but it needed some work to achieve a razor edge.
68% appreciated its rugged build, though 32% experienced breakdown
A knife for high-stress scenarios would benefit from having a guard to prevent the hand from sliding into the blade.
After only a few months of surface kayaking in the islands, the knife looks like a 300 year old barnacle.
After diving in to save a swimmer, the sheath broke and the knife fell into the water. This shows that the knife's durability is not satisfactory.
61% praised the high-quality sheath, but 39% found it flimsy
After using it for a week, my knife sheath broke.
The sheath broke into pieces and the knife fell into the water while diving to save a swimmer. This could have caused serious injury. It's negative feedback on the sheath quality of camping-fixed-blade-knives.
The knife and its metal screws in the sheath are completely rusted over.
