"This knife actually surprised me on looks and sharpness of the blade definitely worth the small price on this knife"
"The belt strap holding the Bowie knife is too narrow. It should be as wide as the knife."
"Just the right size to stick in your back pocket"
"Beautiful, Solid, Heavy Built, I liked it so much I bought 2 of them and I will be buying 3 more for my Grand Sons - And As Always a Great Price !"
"Beautiful looking knife. It has some good weight to it, a small blemish toward the point of the blade. I think it will be a good knife as a gift. I will buy another. Perhaps the next one will be better."
"Call it nostalgia goggles, but I bought this knife -literally- because it was the same as one I had when I was younger. I've had my fair share of bowie knives, throwing knives, skinnin' knives that I've bought from BudK, and some were ventures that were worth the money and some were faults on the manufacturer's part. But Timber Rattler has -never- disappointed, and it's just the same here. I bought this to replace a knife that I had a fair many years ago that was stolen, and it's exactly as I recall it. The weight is perfect, the knife was sharp out of the box, the engraving I added this time around was legible and just as I liked, and while the sheath does get some heat and I will admit it has some faults, honestly for the price you're paying you're getting more than what you should. Granted it's advertised as a skinning knife but I'd argue it's more like a smaller bowie knife than anything. You could certainly skin with it, but I suppose it depends on the hand wielding it and what you want to do with it. The first knife I used for whittling, fish gutting, bushcrafting, and if you really practice and don't mind speeding along the wear and tear of your knife you -can- throw it. The perfect little redneck companion for all your hoodlum needs and thrills, from car work to tape cutting and twig-slashing, where there's a will there's a way. By and large, for a blade under twenty dollars and with a little knife know-how for upkeep and care you can not go wrong with this purchase, and having owned this knife twice as of now, you will get your money's worth for years to come and if you care for it then it will take care of you. Don't discount the power of the affordable timber rattler knife, because as ubiquitous as they are, they certainly should hold a proud place as the everyman's blade-maker."
"I love this knife! Mine was respectfully sharp out of the box and feels great in the hands. Beast of a knife that isn't too heavy or overwhelming to carry. Only con about mine that i received was that the strap that wraps around the base of the knife to secure in place was too tight. I fixed by cutting a small piece of the sheath so the knife will slide further into the sheath. I Highly recommend you purchase this knife, for $13 you cant go wrong. Budk will get you your order in a timely manner. 5 star knife all the way."
"PROS: full tang, looks very nice especially with the blue pakka. Well balanced. lanyard hole, high quality steel.HANDMADE CONS: Tiny imperfections around the pakka wood a little sloppy with the glue.the sheath is nice to look at but flimsy and very tight fit to where i think the lock is about to break it has to be stretched over the handle to reach the button to clip. This is my favorite skinning knife , and my favorite colored pakka wood handle the blue looks very very nice. The blade almost looks elvish like thorins orchrist from hobbit. I love this knife you wont find a skinner this legit for even $70"
"Just got this knife in the mail today! I got more than my money's worth that's for sure! Beautiful knife all around. Beautiful strong handle and full tang. I bought this to be a all the time carry knife and it is the perfect size for that. The genuine leather sheath is beautiful and excellent quality. My teenage son looked at it and immediately wanted one for himself. I will be getting him one as well. I recommend this knife to everyone. You won't be disappointed."
"Love the feel and size of this knife! For $12.99, simply amazing what a buy this is! Love the blue handle and will be getting more of these soon!"
