I've been reading a lot of reviews on the Cold Steel Master hunter, most of them good and a few bad ones. I like the idea of the laminated steel and I love the general purpose design of this knife. Been wanting a Falkniven F1 for a long time and just can't seem to make myself drop that much money on one and the CS Master Hunter looks very similar (I actually like its looks better). So, I just put in a order for one and decided to give one a try. It looks like it would make a great bushcraft knife for wet conditions since it is stainless steel with a molded plastic (they call it Concealex) sheath. I have an old Cold Steel ODA in Carbon V steel that is no longer available and it a very well made knife that has been through a lot in the last few years and it has the same style of sheath which has held up real well. But is just really too big to carry for general purpose use and the Master Hunter looks as though it will be fairly tough and corrosion resistant and has a great general purpose design like the F1. Anyway, this will be my poor man's F1 and will see service on my belt during fishing trips in the backwoods. So, does anyone else own a Master Hunter ? Give us your review of it - pros, cons ?
