"Beautifully crafted, awesome Honshu Bowie. The sheath is just as impressive. I call it my Swashbuckling Blade."
"This is a large, thick, heavy and very sharp Bowie knife. The scabbard is thick, sturdy leather with a metal tip. I am very pleased with my purchase."
"Beautiful piece."
"Okay, for those of you who, like me, were curious to see how the Pioneer Bowie by Honshu, stacked up against Cold Steel's 1917 Frontier Bowie.....you're welcome! I love the 1917 Bowie. I've owned it for a couple of years, so when I saw the Honshu, I wondered how they'd compared since it looks like Cold Steel lost the patent to the design and Honshu just produced a fairly close replica. LOL! I mean, to a person not familiar with the Cold Steel 1917, you could pass off the Honshu Pioneer as the 1917 Bowie....especially at a quick glance. However, it's clear to see the finger choils are different and the handle butts are clearly different, to include a lanyard hole at the end of the Honshu. You can also see the "Honshu" company name and logo printed at the base of the blade just below the spine. The sheaths are comparable, but different as well. Though overall, the Honshu is a beautiful knife. I just received it fairly recently, so I haven't yet tested the performance. (*Same high carbon steel as well, 1085)"
