RMEF Promotional Knives?

[Mr. October]

So I've played along with the RMEF's Gunday Monday fund raiser the last 3 years and now have a collection of knives from them as a result. Two of them are sheath knives (Browning, Buck) and this year's was a folding Gerber which seems like the most practical of the 3. My suspicion is that all 3 knives have kinda cheap steel that probably won't really hold up to any sort of use. What do you think? Should I use them? Or just let 'em sit on a shelf? I'm not much of a collector and don't really need more unused stuff around my house. Just curious what everyone thinks of these promotional knives?

My f.i.l has a rmef caping/skinner set that i think was made by browning? He uses the hell out of em. Holds an edge through 3 to 4 whitetail before needing sharpened again. I don't think theres anything wrong with the function of them at all. They are super easy to clean. But the handles are a bit narrow.

Is one of them like this? If so . . good to know on the durability and the handle is just screwed on. It would be pretty easy to put something better on it.

The buck lite knives always worked well for me, the skeleton knives. The sheath is heavy, but easy to sharpen and hold an edge pretty well for a cheap knife.
