This knife is a beautiful monster.. Sure it's just stainless and not 1095 like a Ka-bar but i'll make it simple.. NOBODY makes I knife that looks like this accept M48.. KA-bar ,Ontario knife and all those high end knife brands dropped the ball and don't make knives that are this cool looking.. Wicked cool design. The saw back was re-designed this year (2015) and is now ULTRA aggressive.. Perhaps the most aggressive saw back I have ever seen. Blade is around 6MM thick or 1/4 inch. Feels very strong. Near razor sharp. Great sheath!!.. Yet another fantastic M48 product..

$80 for stainless steel no thank you. Do not waste you time and money with m48 if you have any sense go buy a ka-bar they use 1065 cro van which is damn better than stainless

worst knife i ever bought the blade was chiped the handle scales were not put on right i wish i hadn't bought it

I saw this blade on Campcraft, and I thought, "Is it on BUDK?" Thankfully it was! This is great, but the sawback isn't amazing, it's good for notching, though.

I bough a lots of knives in the past this one is by far the most Well made sturdy, sharp knife I have ever own...took it hog hunting it sure does a number on hogs. Also good on the field for chopping branches and even trees. I would definitely recommend this knife to all the peoples I encounter in life.

Like no other blade , its heavy and needs a lanyard. came dull as a cpa convention, but with a little work it will sharpen. the serrations i could do without. the sawblade on top works well. 1/2 in. thick blade with a decent titanium coating this is a ghurka type knife that will chop well and could also be used as a spear. Choil is well placed and not sharp. Thumb rise is serrated and comfortable to hold , sheath is ok but plastic insert should have been thicker with a reinforced lip, as is its much to thin to support knife well. As for the knife well its a hacking, chopping, slashing beast of a knife. blade is very thick all the way to the front of the blade,you can hunt any north american game animal with this knife and win. This is the best example of united cutlery to date and if it ever saves my skin ill have BUDK to thank

Absolutely amazing. I have purchased 3 Bowie knives from budk and this one is by far the best. No offense to Gil Hibben, but its even better than his more expensive bowie. It feels amazing in the hand and the M.O.L.L.E. sheath is fantastic. Most of the nylon sheaths That come with the knives Fall apart at the seams, but not this one, its got a second pocket and a leg strap for extra security. I've already given this knife quite the beating while recreating the budk demo videos, and there's not a scratch on it. I am confident that I will have this knife for many years to come, thanks budk!

OMG this knife is epic! I have baught alot of Bowie knives and this one is by far the best one yet! BUDK has out done themselves on this on! And of course as always BUDK has the quickest delivery amd best customer service
