By none from dallas, texas on 08/18/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Durable, Sharp Blade, Smooth Locking Mechanism Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
By regular customer from Charlottesville VA on 08/18/2009 Describe Yourself: Outdoor Enthusiast Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The magnetic needle and its supporting pin were easily dislodged and can't be repositioned. The compass is now useless.
Well made for the purpose. By Bob the Climber from Atlanta, GA on 08/14/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Durable, Functional, Sharp Blade Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Looks good (juniper handle) and functions well - corkscrew has adequate length.
By BargainBeast from Upstate New York on 08/04/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Opens Smoothly, Sharp Blade Best Uses: Camping, Picnicking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Heavy duty and well made. All you need for a picnic. The lock works fine but is not a release - manual release is clumsy and slightly dangerous as your thumb or finger is in the way of the blade closing. Otherwise a handsome and well designed knife.
Great compass, great price! By Special Ed from Saginaw, MI on 08/04/2009 Pros: Accurate, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Strong Construction Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, Road Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Outdoor Enthusiast Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: It's simple, well made and you can't beat the price.
Item is not French, it is made in China. By Don from Pinehurst, NC on 07/30/2009 Pros: Comfortable Grip, Functional Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I own several other Laguiole products and the quality of this item is a cut below the French made items. Nevertheless it is a reasonable facsimile for the price and makes a decent gift.
By Gary from Newport RI on 07/29/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Bright, Durable Best Uses: Living Room, Outdoors Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a really great product. Can't believe that this is available (in a fitted wooden case) at this price point. This would make a great house warming gift or one for someone into entertaining.
I probably wouldn't rely on this compas By Gman from Phoenix, Arizona on 07/25/2009 Cons: Flimsy, Inaccurate, Needle not dampened Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Professional Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I teach land navigation and have used many different compasses. Although the design appears to be much like some of the moderately expensive ones, the magnetic needle is not dampened in liquid. The needle sticks and it does not immediately settle on magnetic north. I bought a few of these compasses because of the discounted price, however, I am not sure they will ever be used because I would not rely on its accuracy. It does have many features like coordinate scalem and declination adjustment but it is easily moved because it is not controlled by a set screw. I would not recommend this for serious orienteering/land navigation.
Don't judge a book by its cover By Gunfighter from Nor Cal on 07/20/2009 Pros: Accurate, Compact, Easy To Set Up, Simple Controls, Waterproof Best Uses: Backcountry Camping, Day Trips, River Trips, Survival Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer, Gearhead, Outdoor Enthusiast Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
