Chieftain | Rosarms

Absolute work of art. I have Kizlyar and Kizlyar supreme knives in my collection and this Rosarms Ataman is in a class of its own.
Dimensions and ergonomics are perfect, well balanced. Seems to hold an edge well. Build quality is second to none.

Very nice great quality and workmanship

I purchased my Chieftan over two years ago and was one of my first Rosarms knifes. This thing is a beast the steel used in construction is great and takes an edge well. Vary little deformation and no chipping after lots of use! takes an edge nicely and retains it quite well. The handle is different but I have come to really like it. the aluminum and leather wrap is nice in hand and durable and the design makes the knife this size well balances in hand. the leather sheath has held up well. nice blade for several uses!

Nice blade and grip. It could be a little bit sharper, but other than that it was everything I was looking for.

The blade is well made and reasonably sharp. It also has a nice shape. The problem with the knife is the handle. It is too thin for a man’s hand. I also have Rescuer-2 and on this smaller knife the handle is thicker and more comfortable. Additionally, the knife is too light for its size, which is a negative. In fact, similar or smaller-size knives like Ka-Bar, German military knife or Linder are more hefty and feel more comfortable. I understand that this is the manufacturer’s problem, The store is great, with good pricing (cheaper than Amazon), fast delivery and attention to detail and packaging.
