For the money, this is a great knife. Big and heavy, it may not fit those with small hands. The finish of the blade was a little rough but I cleaned that up with a polishing wheel on a grinder in just a few minutes! Nice handle on this knife with a pretty gray laminate wood and the big brass rivets and pommel. This knife is a great buy!

When I pulled this out of the leather sheath, my jaw dropped! If somebody pulled this knife on me in a parking lot at night, I would be afraid! It’s HUGE and yet it’s well made. Almost too thick but definitely sturdy. This meets the definition of a Bowie knife: Large enough to use as a sword, Wide enough to use as a paddle… and heavy enough to use as an axe. An excellent deal!

A very nice looking knife,big & heavy,for this price.I was’nt sure what to get in my purchase but I am satisfied. This knife makes my Rambo knife III look somewhat tame,imagine pulling this knife out during a late-night bar fight scene,It does’nt matter if that person is 5″2 or 5″5 tall, he’ll make any big guy back off.(The bigger they are..The bigger the target…TIMBEEER!!).Timber Rattler makes good looking functional knife,But the sheath not so good in quality.The stapled on belt loop,no leg tie holes (would be nice to walk without the knife slapping my thigh).It Looks like that I’ll have to fine a better top grain leather sheath that might cost $$ more than the knife…bummer. this baby is going to hang on my man-wall.Thanks.

Beautiful looking bowie out of the box…The Timber Rattler Outlaw Bowie Knife has a full tang, blood groove, brass gaurd (or bolster) & pommel, and an extra long, razor sharp edge. This knife’s blade is another in the “Timber Rattler” line made from the Pakistani Surgical Steel, which seems to be the case with all of the “Timber Rattler” knife line. Timber Rattler Outlaw Bowie Knife has the feel of a heavy & very hardy knife when held in one’s hand, and is more than hardy enough to perform general utility camp duties. The hardwood handle seems to be just the proper size, matching the blades immense size, yet easily & comfortably graspable in medium to large sized hands. Cannot attest to the ability of the knife to maintain its edge sharpness as yet. Definitely a large beautiful knife…. Overall a very nice value for a sub-$20 knife, and would be a nice addition to anybody’s knife collection…. My only complaints are that the knife’s sheath is a little cheaply made and does not match the quality of the knife; and that the blade’s knife edge had a couple of moderate defects caused by improper (or hasty) sharpening (e.g., small nicks in the knife’s cutting edge).
