Product Description
This is a wicked Bowie by any standards! Measuring 16 1/2" overall, this knife features a 12" stainless steel blade that offers cut-outs, reverse serrations, and partial upper and full lower blade swage.
This is NOT a Knife... This is a Short Sword! Or somewhere inbetween! Man I thought my other knife was big, this thing is a monster!!! It feels solid and although the handle feels more like basic rubber then good G-10, but man, this thing is so wicked!

yes!
Beautiful knife. You guys did amazing. Sturdy and big. This knife is going on my hip for self defense. I've tried it out on quite a few items (like papertowel) and I feel safe with it on me. And with my small hands the handle is perfect. It isn't too big or bulky.

i love this knife. it is one of my favorite knifes in my very large collection it has a very sturdy blade and the handle is very comfy to hold and swing. i have tested it on fruit and bottles and a bunch of weeds and bushes and stuff of that nature and it cuts beautifully. for me it came razor sharp out of the box and didnt dull very easily, i of course sharpened it afterwards and so far i havent needed to sharpen it again. it really is worth the money i would have easily payed double for this maybe even triple. it is a bit lighter than i thought it would be but that was a plus for me haha it is a big knife and i would recomend this baby to anyone

great bowie
when I got this I didn't know what to expect because this is the first time I had purchased weapons like this from budk most of what I have bought from them over the years was novelty and other items when I received this I was shocked how sharp and intimidating it was not to mention the size the video does not do it justice if someone broke in id feel safe knowing I have this by my bedside however it wouldn't do much good if the intruders had guns but I might attempt to distract them then stab them a killer looking knife regardless how effective it is I feel safe knowing how shard the end and point really are

Buy it now!
This knife is just perfect. I've had a lot of experience with weapons and have recently started adding to my collection, this was the perfect first addition. The handle is perfectly sized for even my large hands, it is well over a foot long, and just looks badass to hold. It comes razor sharp, sharp enough to easily cut the nylon sheath if one isn't careful, but the sheath is also very high quality and durable. The metal isnt too hard to sharpen even more, which i have done, and i mean it when i say one wrong move will leave me bleeding. The knife has a nice solid weight. The holes and the etches on the back give it a really cool deadly look. Everybody who plans to have a collection of weapons should have this knife, and it is VERY affordable from this site. Thanks budk!

I just got mine yesterday, and this knife is huge! It's a lot bigger than I expected, I still like the knife. It's very sharp and in good condition.

This thing is ridiculous. It is so much bigger than I thought it would be. It's extremely sharp and sturdy, I actually chopped the box in half, but I kept the smaller one it came in. The sheath is very nice and high quality. It's a bit big for that lanyard hole, but all the same a great first buy.

1st off....DAMN this blade is huge, pretty sharp, and looks mean! Great job guys.
Ian Amor Aug 19, 2010 (5 out of 5)
Bigger then I thought it would be. Sharp right out of the box, which i destroyed with the knife. Little lose in the handle, though that's what ya get when it isn't full tang.<br /><br />Overall great weapon.

I received this knife exactly two days after ordering it, and it was much more that I expected. It was a foot long blade, but I still hadn't prepared myself. It came razor sharp. No scuffs, no dents. I did a good bit of testing on the shipping box, and now the box is beyond recognition. For $17.99, I expected a fraying sheath with a foam knife. I was wrong. (However, the button on the sheath did break, but I just duct tape the thing if I give a sh*t, or there are kids around.) If you are reading this review, I just need to tell you, buy this knife. It is beautiful, lightweight, fast, tough, and full of uses. Don't think twice, just buy it. Then, we can form an army of people who own the knife, and take over your next door neighbor's house. But not the world. We'll save that for airsoft guns.

this knife truly is much bigger then you'd think and its sharp as well. a great buy! though it did take a full week for it to arrive.

this knife is massive!! it is solid and has a comfortable rubber handle. i highly reccomend. the serration on the back is extremely sharp too.

Great large fighter, but a chopper - for that use a axe or BK7 or BK9.
Great large fighter like a cheaper Sog Jungle Primitive (awesome knife/bowie by the way), but do not expect to use as monster chopper or for batoning (for cheap alternative look up here at BUDK items #17 MCMT151 or #17 CT52907 dry, or both #17 UC2839 and 17 ON8286 well lubed with WD40). I like it, but you must respect its limitations, and trade offs for speed and reach (like a longer, but thinner Kabar USMC knife). Recommend also for heavy beatings or choppings use either BK7 or BK9, Kabar or Ontario Kukri, the item # 17 CT53506 by Condor, item #17 ON8628 or 17 CKSURG.

Nicely sized and easy to sharpen. Has a nice balance, but I do not recommend using it on the ultimately heavy duty basis because the handle is thin. Accusharp Knife Sharpener and this makes a nice bundle along with something to keep the rust off of it. The sheath is very sturdy, though you might want to replace the Velcro strap holding the hilt with something sturdier, like cap button. Also do not follow in my idiotic footsteps and try to use it to loosen vines off the side of a brick house, otherwise the blade can easily shatter as explained by the customer service rep on my retracted previous review. Highly recommend buying along with the sharpener, because with a few swipes with it. It'll cut through frozen meat like warm butter.

Nice knife overall very sturdy but not as sharp as I would like but shouldn't be too hard to deal with. Overall 4/5
Ev Leonard Jun 08, 2011 (4 out of 5)
this is an amazing bowie knife, i highly recommend it if you are into collecting bowies, want something to show off, or just defend yourself against a Bear. the only problem is that it is pretty light, and the handle is kind of short and a little weirdly shaped. it also didn't come that sharp but that doesn't really matter because you can sharpen it. other than that, this knife is amazing and easily one of my favorites.<br />-also the back "serrations" located right behind the square cut outs aren't really serrations, they are just for show or weight reduction. the serrations above the square cut outs are real though.

Aidan kronmiller Nov 17, 2010 (4 out of 5)
huge knife. What can say? its just crazy.
Ryan Deem Sep 27, 2011 (3 out of 5)
I like this blade its big and very intimidating but Its on the dull side and its hard to sharpen. It cant hold a good edge for very long and metal plate at the top of the grip digs into my hand but other than that its a good blade and it will make a nice addition to your collection but its mostly just for show
Brady Bonuz Jul 02, 2011 (1 out of 5)
The look of the knife is nice and quite intimidating, but its not sharp at all, and it'll take about 4 hours nonstop to sharpen it, and it doesn't keep its edge well, I am totally displeased with this knife.
