Ridge Runner Celtic Elite Fixed Blade Knife With Sheath

It really is full tang so it feels powerful, the green wood is very eye catching. I collect alot of blades mostly combat but I got this one specifically cause it was pretty to me. It not only looks great but in my opinion it seats well in my hand and even though I got it to be a "dress knife" (weddings, funerals, graduation, whatever the occasion) it is fully capable to be a combat/self-defense knife as well. My girl even likes this knife cause on top of everything I mentioned above it also matches her eyes. Cool thing was that I got this as a bogo so she got one too. Thank you BudK.

such a nice looking, and very functional knife. I love the celtic knots, and the green handle really catched the eye as well.

I think this knife Is an Awesome addition to my collection!!!

This is a well crafted item. Very sharp and absolutely beautiful. The pictures are accurate. Love the grip on this knife both forward and reverse. Made my own sheath out of leather...I wear this thing as much as I can.

Awesome knife and well worth the money. I only buy my knives from Budk and I will remain a loyal customer. Always satisfied

Like Tim (one of the other reviewers), I own all the Ridge Runner Bowies ... wood, pearl, abalone, celtic. They are a great value, with nice balance and feel in the hand, not too big, not too small, and solid build. Pretty sharp out of the box, blade looks like it'll take lots of sharpening and is stout. These are a bargain, especially when looking for something 'crafted' rather than 'tactical'. My Irish buddy really liked the Celtic knife for his birthday and added it to the other Celtic stuff I've gotten for him ... he's a good friend and enjoys pretty much everything Ireland/Celtic/Scot. Makes a fun and 'different' gift ... note that the sheaths are well made and fit well using a belt loop, but are not leather. A leather sheath that will accomodate a 5 inch moderate bowie blade should work ok (maybe from another knife purchase?). One last thing regarding the handle which is solid feeling ... the top edge is flat, the handle sides are flat, and the bottom edge is flat ... this produces a narrow-ish flat-sided handle width ... no palm swells. I think it feels great in the hand and makes for flat carry next to the body. I guess if I was going to go out of my way to be critical it would be: 1) Non-leather sheath (at this price point it's an idiotic complaint) 2) Very good but not perfect fit of the handle inlays, meaning the fit of wood against metal is very good but not necessarily absolutely perfect. This observation is similar to wood against metal fit on a firearm ... if you want perfection be ready to pony up triple the money for the high-end wood and fit. For what this knife costs, the above observations are ridiculous. I only point them out for those who are very very very picky, or who simply want the low-down on every angle of the product. Like I said, I think these are tremendous ... great knives at the price of a 6 pack of micro-brewery beer.

Very handsome knife! Ridge Runner always has GREAT QUALITY! I am happy with the purchases.

If you intend on wearing this, you'll need to upgrade the "custom" sheath, as this ones strap sits too low allowing the knife to flop forward due to its heavy handle.

It has a really nice weight to it and it's really pretty. But it didn't come razor sharp like the description said it would

Great knife I have some Irish ancestryand it makes me proud to be able to display that ancestry when I wear it. Only draw back is the dye/paint on the handle is starting to rub off. Other than that I am very happy with this knife.

Got the knife cause of it's appearance but wasn't expecting something of quality. It's a pretty solid knife at a fantastic price only reason it got a 4 from me because it could be sharper and I hate the sheath it comes with.

This knife is a beautifully crafted piece. I love having it in my collection. The blade is good quality and very sharp. Not only is the knife great, but the price too. At $9.99 it's a bargain! Go out and get yourself one!!!
