“I recently bought this knife for camping. The handle is soft to the touch and fits very comfortably and firmly in the hand. The knife looks sturdy. However, for me the downside is that the cutting part is rusting. I used the knife to cut fish on the campsite, after I washed it and wiped it dry with a towel, the next morning it was rusty. It's quite inconvenient to think that you need to treat it with oil every time after contact with water”

“This is a nice solid knife with a very comfy handle. The tip is needle sharp and the cutting edge is very capable. The knife is front heavy overall, that makes me question how robust the tang is but I have no reason to doubt its robustness. I have dropped a star because I find the sheath quite flimsy and fiddly. But a good package and well worth the asking price.”

“I have used this quite a lot, it feels like such a small light convenient knife to have at camp, but can handle a bit of rough stuff, like its big brother. The price is right too. It also has a great useful tip, that is missing of a lot of similar sized knives.”

“The Cold Steel SRK Compact is an excellent camping knife, not intended for prizing logs apart, but will do anything and everything that is required for a camping trip, from splitting sticks into kindling, making fuzz sticks, shaping a tent peg, cutting rope and string to skinning and filleting game and preparing food. It is not stainless, but cleaning and drying the blade (as you would) after using it will keep it from rusting. I wouldn't oil the blade unless you like your food tasting of oil, as some of the oil will stick on the excellent sheath, and get back on the knife every time you put it back into the sheath. There is a black coating on the blade to help it to stay stain and rust free. The blade comes sharp and with a needle point, but a few strokes on a razor strop had it popping hair off my arm. All in all, and excellent tool, and one that is light and easy to carry, so you won't notice it until you need it.”
