Comments about MSR Alpine Kitchen Knife:

...but a poorly made knife isn't really a laughing matter. I'm holding this knife as I review it and after having "used" it on a two week expedition. The blade is flat and bendy. Made of stainless steel it takes about three times as long to sharpen as a proper carbon-steel blade. The edge after all that work is sad. I have no idea if it is full tang but it really doesn't matter given that the handle is uncomfortable and gripless. On the positive side, the sheath is much more easily cleaned than most. In fact, if MSR would put the same work into designing a good knife as they have done with their many excellent stoves, I am confident that a sheath like this one would make it a winner. But for now I'd recommend passing on this knife. The world is full of great kitchen/light utility knives: why settle for anything less?

Comments about MSR Alpine Kitchen Knife:

I like it. Good design, well built, nice performance. The [*] keen edge out of the packaging makes up for the lack of mass, and it'll do a lot more than you'd think a knife that weighs only 1.7 ounces would. If your camping cooking style includes more prep/actual food than boiling, of if you're on a trip where you're going to actually cook, it's very much worth looking into.My one comment veering towards negative: the sheath lacks any sort of blade-retaining catch and can come off very easily. exercise care when removing from your pack, or look into other options for carrying the knife(inside your mess-kit, make your own sheath, etc).

Comments about MSR Alpine Kitchen Knife:

This knife is well balanced and has an ergonomic shape. The blade is 440(probably A) and for the price is well made. Blade is flexible and comes extremely sharp. The blade takes an edge well.
