Classic Bowie Bone Handle 15 Inch Overall

One of the nicest I have bought from BUDK! As a collector, I find this to be as good as some of the custom made knifes I have bought off ebay. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this knife!

Let me begin by stating that when I rate my Bowie knives, it's always in relation to the price point of the piece involved. I will rate a piece excellent if has minor flaws, such as the mediocre edge on this one, as it's easily fixed and once addressed, takes and holds a truly razor edge. At 17 0z., it's a well balanced knife with lots of extras in the bolster and pommel work, all done in brass as fits a time when the brass was the cheaper metal, not to mention that it gives a poor man's gold flare to the overall appearance. Finally, again the sheath exceeds expectations, with a hand stitched belt loop. All in all, there is much improvement out of Pakistan in recent years and a trend that seems to be ongoing. For the price, it's another treasure sourced by Bud K that suits use as well as display. On a personal note, I just can't bring myself to purchase a western style bowie married to a canvas or web sheath or even kydex, an area I have to plead guilty in being somewhat of a purist. As always, Bud K, another job very well done.

this is a very pretty knife. made solid but has no edge i have worked on it for hours and have just barely started to get an edge started. i am not wanting to scratch the blade so i got to go slow and steady. it already has a big gouge on one side that was there when i got it i think they may have did it when they lazer etched my int. in it. good for collecting not for use. it is a stamped out blade the steele is very hard so i dont think it is carbon like they say. the sheath is very good wich is unusual nowadays.
