Joker BS9 Avispa CM117 Bushcraft Knife, 3.15 in Sandvik 14C28N Fixed Blade, Yellow and Black Micarta Handle, Kydex Sheath for Camping, Hunting, Survival, Backpacking and Trail Work

I live in Northern California but I have a connection with Spain because I did the El Camino trail in Spain in 2017 with my friend who grew up there and speaks fluent Spanish (with a Spanish accent) which helped out on the trail. After reading the good reviews of the Spanish made Joker knives on the Gideon’s Tactical site I decided to try the small Joker Avispa fixed blade to carry while backpacking and hiking. The Avispa comes in at least four different versions with different handle materials in Scandi and flat grind. I got the flat grind because it is better for food prep and I plan to be doing some of that. The Scandi grind would be better for Bush crafting tasks such as wood processing. The Avispa is well made with a smooth joining of the handle material to the blade stock and the Swedish Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel is a good medium grade knife steel. The knife came very sharp out of the box. Over all a very nice small fixed blade knife at a good price and I would not hesitate to buy this brand again.

Absolutely love this knife! Sharp OTB, nice weight, solid good fit in my hand. I'm new to Joker knives, this is maybe my 5th. They never disappointed me. Great delivery too, came earlier than expected, about 4 days earlier. I recommend it.

Decent quality knife for the price. Good grind, comes razor sharp. I read in some of the reviews that the sheath scratches the blade - this is true. The sheath is very bad quality and the retention (or lack thereof) makes it dangerous as a neck knife. I would recommend a custom leather sheath. The handle is a bit short for the size of the cutting edge. The handle also doesn't come polished, as it looks in the photos. Overall this knife deserves a 4-star rating due to sandvik steel, decent quality, price and style.

Feels really comfortable in my hand, the blade seems just thick enough to handle anything it’ll need it to. Razor sharp out the box. Good size, I tried out a mora eldris for edc but it felt like it really needed another inch on the blade, which is what this one has. I like the look too. The sheath does leave a mark on the blade, unfortunately I will probably return it and get a leather sheath version. Never had a kydex sheath before but I see people online say that kydex marks on knives are mostly inevitable, so I’m not gonna mark this blade down for that.

Awesome little knife. Love the colors and it's razor sharp out of the box

The weight and quality of this knife along with its size and Design are ideal for bushcrafting or EDC purposes.. I prefer fixed blade for the easy use and not having failure points like foldering blades the sharpness right out of the box was immaculate and definitely recommend this knife to anybody for any reason honestly.. you're sure to get years of pond years of use from this quality knife.. 14C28N is my favorite steel and highly recommend for people who sweat a lot who are going to carry this around their neck or live in a climate such as me in Washington state where it rains a lot. 😎👍💯

This is a high-quality knife and comes with 14C28N Steel. It is a flame thrower with a Ferro Rod, Stays Sharp for a long time. Cones with an excellent Kydex sheath. I would gladly pay much more for a knife like this. It is that good and makes an excellent neck knife or you can put a tek lok on it or simply tuck it into your pocket. Lightweight knife, but strong. Easy to baton small pieces of wood and carves wood with ease. I have no worries when I take this knife out with me every day.

Great little knife! Sheath isn’t as bad as what people are saying. Maybe I got lucky. The tip of the knife is supposed to be visible. The hole is there in case the blade gets put away wet, so the water can drain out. Little heavy for me to carry as a neck knife, but great size for EDC.

100% recomendable

Great little knife. Works great around the camp. Due to its size I have no problem carrying in backpack most of the time. On pictures it might look bit cheap or crappy but in reality it is quite opposite. Feels great in the hand. Keep in mind it is rather small, if You have big hands this could be a problem.

Me encanto muy practico y viene bien afilado de fabrica.

Liegt ungeheuer bequem in der Hand, ein echter Handschmeichler. Habe durchschnittliche große Hände und der Griff passt haargenau. Habe das Schätzchen schon gut ausprobiert. Holz schneiden, große Stücke, Holzlocken fertigen und selbst batonieren ging damit. Gut beim Batonieren muss man auf die länge der Klinge achten. Aber es passt. Selbst mit der Spear Point Klinge war das alles kein Problem. Als Gürtelmesser mit dem mitgelieferten Paracord war mir das zu wackelig, aber als Kneck Knife geht es allemal und zu schwer ist es nicht, finde ich. Wurde sehr scharf ausgeliefert und nach all dem Schnitzen an zwei Tagen ist die Klinge immer noch scharf. Ein wirklich gutes, kleines Messer, das alles mitmacht und für jede Aktivität draußen bestens geeignet ist. Und diese Klingenform ist ebenso super, wenn man etwas zu Essen schnippeln will, weil Flachschliff. Ob man am Gürtel befestigt oder um den Hals trägt, sobald es unter dem T-Shirt, Hemd oder der Jacke verschwindet, ist es für andere unsichtbar, weil es so klein ist und man riskiert keine dummen Blicke. Ein Allrounder, bin wirklich zufrieden. Selten so ein kleines Messer gefunden, dass alles mitmacht und zudem gut in der Hand liegt. Und mit der Farbe finded man es überall schnell wieder, wenn man es mal liegen lässt oder es einem herunterfällt.

dieses Messer ist einfach ein Gedicht. Absolute Kaufempfehlung. Es liegt gut in der Hand. Die Kydex-Scheide ist schön abgerundet.. Das Messer passt in jede Hosentasche/Jache/Gürtel wo auch immer. Ein echtes EDC und besser als jedes Klappmesser. Klingengeometrie. Alles paßt. Ein absolutes Must-Have.
