Suitable for various hunting, survival, tactical, and outdoor situations. Review: Great knife - This is a high-quality and durable knife. The D2 tool steel is strong and has the ability to hold an edge, which makes it suitable for survival, hunting, skinning, and camping activities. The brown leather right hand front cross draw fixed blade knife sheath is a classic and practical touch but honestly i dont like the way the knife sits in the sheath. It goes all the way down, is difficultnto pull out and the knife actually cut through the sheath. But if you're in need of a reliable and versatile knife for outdoor adventures, this one might be worth considering! Review: Great EDC belt knife! One year UPDATE! - This small belt knife suits my every day carry needs. The blade is 2 13/16” long, 2 3/16” sharpened with a hollow grind and it’s razor sharp. The way it feels in my hand I’d buy it again. Matter of fact I have given away the knife I was using. UPDATE: the knife is still doing its job. The steel is holding up, not going dull at all. Stropping the edge once in awhile is enough to keep it tuned up. The sheath needed attention. The stitching on the vertical belt loop ripped out. I fastened it back down with a Chicago screw. I put a leather lace through the loop also. It holds the sheath next to the belt loop. The horizontal belt loop that came on the sheath was useless. I cut it off and threw it away! If for some reason I lost this knife I'd buy another one! ## Features - βœ… KNIFE DIMENSIONS: Overall Length: 6.25 inch; Blade Length: 2.75 inch; handle length: 3.50 inch. - βœ… ABOUT GCS BLADE: GCS hunting knives - Made of D2 tool steel - heat treated and oil quenched to acquire a hardness of 59 HRC, Aluminum Rod Pins, Brass Tube Lanyard Hole, High Polished Stainless Bolsters..

One year UPDATE! *by J***L on October 15, 2021* This small belt knife suits my every day carry needs. The blade is 2 13/16” long, 2 3/16” sharpened with a hollow grind and it’s razor sharp. The way it feels in my hand I’d buy it again. Matter of fact I have given away the knife I was using. UPDATE: the knife is still doing its job. The steel is holding up, not going dull at all.

If for some reason I lost this knife I'd buy another one! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice small knife *by J***. on June 5, 2021* Very well made knife. Full tang, blade thick enough to withstand some abuse. Just the right size to carry on one's belt without getting in the way as would a larger knife. (This is not a knife I would use for hunting. I consider it too small for the job of gutting/skinning large game. The handle is too small for a blood-slick hand.) I dropped one star in the rating because the knife isn't very sharp and the bevel that does exist is too steep. It's going to take me a couple of hours on various stones to get the edge where it should be. The sheath is sort of silly. The straps and snaps used to carry the knife in the horizontal position increases the bulk resulting in quite a bulge that tends to get in the way. (I cut those particular straps off and wear the knife in the typical vertical position.) The sewing is not properly done. The tension of the thread while sewing was not correct so the loop system is outside of the leather exposing the thread to premature wear and tear. I anticipate having to re-sew it in the future. Overall this is a good knife, well made, and worth the money I spent, but purchasing the knife may result in the buyer having to lay a new cutting edge. ## Frequently Bought Together - GCS Handmade D2 Tool Steel Custom Survival Hunting Skinning Camping Knife with Brown Leather Right Hand Front Cross Draw Fixed Blade Knife Sheath GCS264 (Camel Bone Handle) - Mossy Oak 14-inch Bowie Knife, Full-tang Fixed Blade, Wood Handle Hunting Knife with Leather Sheath for Camping, Hiking, Survival - WARIVO KNIFE D2 Tracker Knife Full Tang - Bushcraft Outdoor Survival Knife Fixed Blade Hunting Knife with Sheath - Camping Knife With Black Micarta Handle --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/186859160-gcs-handmade-d2-tool-steel-custom-survival-hunting-skinning-camping](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/186859160-gcs-handmade-d2-tool-steel-custom-survival-hunting-skinning-camping) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
