The MOD4 Survival Knife is actually made in Sheffield by J Adams Ltd, 124 Scotland St, Sheffield, South Yorkshire S3 7DE. If it was made in India I would expect the fit and finish to be off a higher standard. There is actually nothing wrong with the deisgn, it is well thought out, the knife is nicely balanced for a 1 1/2 lb knife and the materials are very robust such as the 3 huge copper rivet which hold the handle scales on, its just that the knife doesn't have that shiny shiny bling factor going on because of the phospated finish to the main blade and the allignment of the tang and handle scales.



Probably because the ease of sharpening was an over riding factor rather than how sharp the edge could actually be made for fine slicing. Its basically a tool for chopping and splitting i.e processing wood.
