I couldn't find a price for this knife online. It's made in Taiwan. It comes with a dull blade, a too-thick saw on the back, and a bottle opener that seems serviceable. It has two key rings and a whetstone. I did use the stone to make an edge on my kitchen knives, before following up with smaller grained stones. I don't know what grain the stone is, but it's the most valuable part of the kit.

There's a compass in the handle. I don't know if it works. The handle is advertised as watertight. It has matches. It also has a 20" wire saw in the handle that seems flimsy. The set also has fishing hooks and lead weights. It's supposed to have nylon line, but this one doesn't.

The kit has needles that can be used for a variety of purposes. It has a poor-quality fake leather sheathe. The knife is obviously not full tang. I advise you not to buy one of these. You'll be wasting your money, whatever it ends up costing you.

Edit: I found one online for $26.50. It's not worth it.
