5.0 out of 5 stars TOOL LOGIC SL3, August 6, 2009

This review is from: Tool Logic SL3 Tactical Folding 1/2 Serrated Knife With Magnesium Fire Starter and Signal Whistle, Black (Tools & Home Improvement)

I use this knife almost everyday and carry it for emergency use when canoeing/scouting/hunting activities. I don't understand the negative comments about poor quality of the knife. The blade and serrated portion are extremely sharp out of the box. I have had mine for 4 months and haven't felt the need to sharpen it as of yet. The locking mechanism on mine holds the blade rock steady and hasn't failed yet.

The whistle is really loud for just being an add on gimic. It will be useful for getting people's attention that are out of shouting range. This is a great feature for scouts/leaders.

The fire steel does shoot off an impressive stream of sparks. I have used it to start fires several times in practice and it works well when you have the right tinder. I have found that using the serrated blade to shave thin strips from a dry stick make wonderful tinder.

All in all, I would reccomend this knife. I bought two more, one to put in my survival kit and one for my boat. My boys will all have one on their person when making trips into the woods.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice combo but blade shouldn't wiggle so much, November 19, 2009

I really like the combo of the whistle, fire starter and knife and the knife feels good and solid in you hand when open it and you grab it with you full hand. Very secure grip like you could really cut into something and maintain control. Knife was delivered very sharp. The only issue I have with this product is that there is far too much side to side play in the blade when it is locked open and I haven't been able to tighten anything enough to get rid of this side to side blade movement. This movement makes me concerned about long term durability. The blade is not too overly pointy so there should be no problems like snapping the tip off. Overall I like the knife and will pack it for when I need it but it is a little bulky for a daily carry knife.

2.0 out of 5 stars great idea, flimsy execution, March 23, 2011

I wanted this knife as soon as I saw it online. It just seemed natural to have these tools clustered together in a small package. I have seen other items from Tool Logic and think their ideas are great. I was less excited, however, when I actually put my hands on the knife. Actually had I handled the knife prior to buying it I would not have purchased it. The handle was similar to other "zytel"-type slabs, the fire steel works as well as could be expected for one of the size, and the whistle is loud. My big issue with this knife is the flimsy feel and lock up of the blade itself. Since I feel having a tool to process wood for fuel and game for food is the most important, a blade this thin with a sort of sloppy lock up did not quite measure up. I think a slightly thicker spine on the blade and a more robust lock would make a better application of a really good idea.
