Bowie knife
I LOVE the knife!!! Well balanced, easy to grasp, and comfortable. However, on mine, the strap that secures the knife to the sheath is too close to the opening. With the blade guard, it won't slide into the sheath. I have to bend the sheath in so the guard can clear it. Obviously not an option if it's on my belt. If the hold down strap was higher up, I think it would clear, but I can't move it. The knife, excellent. The sheath, needs some adjusting. -
Disappointing
I like the look of this blade, however, the wood scales of the handle seem to have shrunk some. The full range of the knife is a noticeable ridge along both the top and bottom of the handle. There are three rivets and a lanyard hole in the handle all of which poke above the wood of the handle. Makes for a slightly uncomfortable grip. The sheath is a little small and it felt like the knife had to cut its' way in the first few times I inserted the knife. Also the handle strap had to be stretched just to get it to close around the handle. And worst of all there is a black scuff mark across the front of the sheath that is either grease or maybe rubber from some machine. Over all disappointing.

Great knife; sheath not so much.
The knife is a beauty, in all respects. The sheath, however, was obviously not designed to complement the knife. The ring on the knife that separates the blade from the handle, is large and protrudes the same distance all the way around the knife; so far, in fact, that you can't close the snap designed to keep the knife in the sheath. If the ring was flat on the inner portion, that would allow the snap to engage. The sheath is of good quality, but poorly designed for this particular knife. -
A very nicely designed,solid bowie at a reasonable cost !!
This is a very impressive knife,both for design and workmanship. It is made very solidly and features a full tang blade of 3CR13 stainless steel blade and nicely curving rosewood scales. It comes sharpened and also features a heavy leather sewn belt sheath. The workmanship on my knife was first rate and, although I don't know where the knife was made, it appears that the makers were well skilled. Now the problem with this knife is this : I am pretty sure that it will work nicely in the field but it is so attractive as an artistic design that I am reluctant to use it because it should be on display ! It is a darn good looking knife ! It is also priced reasonably. This knife was certainly not a disappointment, I am real pleased that I own it.
