Primitive Bowie Wood Handle 18 Inch Overall

its big, its heavy, and some what sharp. Price was great, and after a bit of sharpening it was ready for use. Love this peace. only if you are a true lover of knifes will you like this item.

Very well made,, thick, solid, Iron mistress type Bowie and for $24 "forget about it". Interesting tang because there is a small wood filler cap on the end handle/pommel indicating a hole was drilled all the way through the handle. I would guess near full tang with threaded end and bolt. Very well made thick case also, for the mine a great XL bowie!

I've always liked the looks of the "Primitive Bowies" and as far as I know, have all that are available. True, this one lacks some of the spit and polish of some of the others, but it's also 1/4 the price of several of the competitors, and with just a little work looks a LOT better. The blade is carbon steel, not stainless, so use care as far as rust goes. Comments about the comparison to the original Bowie knife I find amusing, as no one truly knows what it looked like as it was a one of a kind, hand made piece that vanished at the Alamo and the rest is legend. For the price, you can't go wrong, so, as usual, good work Bud K!!!

good for chopping small logs and small branches, the blade is thick, but the blade raddles after cutting a small oak tree but it got the job done one of the best knives I have

I got this knife last year in my first order from budk it comes rather dull but you can't blame them it is a thick blade so it's good for chopping smaller logs but the brass piece on the back falls off quickly and if you want to get sharp it takes a lot of patience overall a good knife
