MSR Alpine Kitchen Knife

I bought this knife as a spare should anything happen to my old one, yes I've had one of these for a few years now. Great cooking knife. I use it outdoors most weekends, its sharp and is easily sharpened. Good value and well made.

Really excellent knife, especially considering how much you can pay on the high street for a regular knife for use at home. . . It's lightweight, but not flimsy, and the blade is as sharp as they come. The blade protector sheaf is also good and doesn't easily/accidentally come off. In the past when out on the trail or just doing normal camping I've always used multitools and so on, now I'll take this on all but the lightest trips, when there aren't any vegetables to slice anyway! Thinking about it, this would probably work out as a nice small gift too, so will probably be back for more!

The MSR Alpine Kitchen Knife is great value for money. It's lightweight, and the blade is very sharp, and comes with a protective cover meaning that it's easy to pack in a rucksack or in a Sea Kayak (as part of a travelling kitchen). The blade is strong yet thin so it's ideal for slicing vegetables. So good, in fact, that I'm happy to use it at home for slicing carrots and chopping garlic etc. It also goes into my bag when I head out to the Alps to ski, and is deployed in the chalet for food preparations most days. I give this five stars. It was a great find. . .

The knife has just arrived and I am really pleased with it. Although it is fairly fragile (by this I mean you would have to be a bit more careful with it than a regular kitchen knife but this is to be expected) it is very sharp and I like the blade design with the blunt tip that reduces the chance of any accidents. In the past I have used a swiss army knife to prepare food but the msr knife is vastly superior to the at this task and for opening packets of food (freeze dried etc! ) I think it would perfect as a camping knife, the only thing I would not try with it is bush craft ie feather sticks, and splitting sticks for kindling. If you are just going hiking/camping then its great. On my digital scales it weighs in at 47 grams and the blade length is just under 11cm.

Purchased the MSR alpine kitchen knife to replace a normal kitchen knife I used and after receiving the MSR knife I was over the moon with the quality of the item. For the weight conscious camper you will not be disappointed. The knife has a very nice feel when using and the blade is very sharp and excellent for the gourmet camper. The added cover for the blade is a fantastic idea for packing in the rucksack. So the overall verdict is 10/10 and would recommend the product to any camper / hiker and the buying service from facewest is second to none
