TC-27

My husband likes knives so I got this as a gift for him. We were both very impressed by the quality of this knife and didn’t expect it to be this great for such a reasonable price. This knife is VERY well made and even the sheath for it is wonderful quality as well. It looks very cool and hubby inspected it very closely and wasn’t able to find any issues of defects. The knife came very sharp, oiled and wrapped in saran wrap inside the sheath. It seems to be super sturdy and well made and should serve us well for quite some time. I think that this is a fantastic piece and that it makes a lovely gift. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

Beautiful knife over all but the handle pieces were not the same size length just wondering if that was on purpose

TL;DR version: good knife, well worth the money as long as you are willing to spend a little time sharpening it. I received this knife today, and was very pleased with it overall. There were only two things that I disliked and fixed, hence the overall 4 star review instead of a 5 star. Pros: 1) Excellent grip when using the finger hole; thumb placement is perfect. Should work fine for small/medium/large hands because the hole is large enough to allow easy grip shifts (I have large hands). 2) Nice bone handle, nicely pinned and quite attractive. 3) Nice leather sheath. Nothing special, but well-fitted and looks durable. 4) Fairly thick spine, which clearly extends all the way to the back of the handle. From point to tang, doubt this blade will ever snap even if abused. 5) Nice curve on the blade, should be perfect for slicing, skinning, etc. 6) Good solid and sharp point.e 7) Edge was beveled (two-sided) instead of 1 sided. Cons: 1) The edge that came with it was borderline poor; most other blades I've owned are sharper out-of-the-box. There was no burr on either side of the edge, meaning that whoever sharpened this blade thought they were fully finished with it. 2) There were two minute nicks on one bevel of the edge; clearly the blade wasn't carefully ground and/or sharpened or these nicks would never have been there. This was actually more disappointing than the lack of general sharpness. 3) No idea what steel or hardness the blade is, so no way to tell if it will hold an edge or not. Based on my sharpening, I suspect it's tool steel. If so, it'll retain an edge reasonably well, but will require regular sharpening and/or stropping. What I did: Fixing the blade was easy enough. I started with 800 grit and worked my way down to ceramic at a 20 degree angle, then stropped the blade using green compound on leather. The result was nice - shaving sharp when I tested it on my arm's hair. Total time spend sharpening it from unimpressive and nicked to shaving sharp and clean was about 35 minutes. Conclusion: Well worth the slightly less than $21 I paid for it, and a perfect carry for hunting/skinning. No need to break the bank on brand names - this will do the job, and if you lose it... well... you won't cry over the cost. :)

I got this little knife in today. It’s well built, good handle, it’s smaller than I thought it would be, but will make a nice skinner. The main thing I didn’t like about it, the blade was dull. It took a little time to sharpen it, but is now razor sharp. I think for the money I paid for it, it’s all good. The sheath is good and thick leather, and holds the knife secure. The belt loop could be a little thicker, but will work just fine

I recently purchased the Titan International Knives TC-23, and while it has some appealing features, there are a few significant downsides to consider. The high carbon 1080 steel blade boasts a solid build and a full tang design, making it strong for tasks like skinning and carving. The walnut handle is beautifully crafted and fits comfortably in hand, enhancing grip during use. However, I was disappointed to find that the blade tends to rust, which is concerning for a knife marketed for outdoor activities like camping and hunting. Additionally, the blade itself is not very sharp, making it less effective for skinning and other precision tasks. Another drawback is the lack of clear warranty information on the product page, which left me uncertain about any potential coverage. Overall, while the TC-23 has potential with its stylish design and solid construction, the rusting issue and dull blade detract from its usability. If you're considering this knife for outdoor adventures, be mindful of these factors.

Very good quality well built. Stays sharp. Makes awesome gift

Very nice looking knife. Appears to be well finished. I can’t comment on the quality of the blade steel yet. Appropriate for a muzzle loader patch knife.

Tip of the knife was blunt, blade was dull, and belt loop on it may fit a skinny women’s fashion belt. Get what you pay for I guess. Good knife for soft butter.
