Timber RattlerWestern Outlaw Bowie Knife

Didn’t know what to expect. For what I paid, I was only expecting a “backyard” tool or probably just something for the shelf or wall. Man was I fooled.This thing is more than I thought.Has good weight for its size, made from quality steel. Handle fits great for my size of hand, and no loose parts.I LOVE the shape and appearance of this knife, and the polish is rather nice.Even the wood handle (solid wood, not that hollow junk) isn’t as slippery as one might think when wet or moist.My only “gripe” is that it came out of the box a bit dull. But a belt grinder and 7 minutes turned it into a razor, and they hold an edge really well so far.Not my absolute #1 first choice, among my collection, for survival situations, but it’s at least #3 choice. I would trust this blade if really needed.Great value for any knife. This is a must have for Bowie enthusiasts

Big and heavy. Solid quality, hand made...watch the YouTube video, it's cool. Great knife. Just got my Second one. I've had my first one since 2017. Still in great shape. You will have to show it some love to prevent Rust. Great for Camping and fishing. Buy a Sharpening stone you will need it.

After reading some of the reviews and eyeing this big daddy for some time, I decided to pick up two when they dropped to $15 each. I was not and am still not disappointed at all. It is not of the greates build quality for sure, nor is it a Ka Bar or anything, but man, this thing is a giant. With right at a 1 FOOT (yeah you read it right) long blade, a good feel in the hand, and the instant increase to your badassery level while wielding it, is more than worth the purchase. The blade is not of the best steel, and if left in the sheath, will rust pretty quick. However, if you get some gun or honing oil and treat the blade once every couple weeks, should not be an issue. I have had it for over a month now and have not seen a single spec.This blade is so unruly big do not plan on doing much functionally with it, unless you spend weekends hunting Bigfoot, Aliens, or want to attempt chopping small vehicles in half... this it could do. I hear that the Predator has signed on for endorsements just so it can get a direct line to get some for his next hunt in the jungle. It is too heavy to use without exhaustion for a camp knife, too big for bushcraft of any kind, not quality enough to be a survival knife, not sharp enough to shave with.... but once you pull this thing from its (surprisingly well made and functioning) sheath and stare in the mirror with your war face on, you will know why you bought it.Crocodile Dundee has been quoted saying, "That's not a knoif... it's a damn showt sowd mate!."

Upon First look at this knife I was truly impressed by it's size. As other reviewers have stated the size of the knife depicted on the website does not do this knife justice. So just be aware that it will not be a just carry around knife on the job site, unless you work in the Bush. When I first saw the knife out of the box all I could think of was the line out of the movie Crocodile Dundee, when he said now thats a knife. The Knife is Huge. It is a full tang knife. At first look I am not too sure if the Brass on the butt or on gaurd above the bolster are real brass or not. Time will tell, I hope it is. As far as it being razor sharp out of the box, well that is debatable. It was sharp out of the box, but I would not call it razor sharp. It has a clean edge that will hopefully find the cutting edge I will be looking for. It did slice a stiff piece of envelope. I would have been more impressed if I had cut through a single sheet of paper without effort. As far as some of the defects that others have stated. Well I have found a few flaws that I hope with use will not ruin the scales. I found a split in the wood between the brass rivets that hold the scales to the tang. The Craftmenship you can tell is that of mass production. Thats not to say that it is terrible as a whole. More time could have been spent on the little details of making sure that all the corners and edges where properly addressed and clean and smooth. The Blade, well you can tell it's made for heavy work. Splitting wood will not be an issue with the spine the thickness of three quarters stack on top of each other. If the heel and bolster stand up to heavy hitting I will be pleased to endorse this knife again after it has been put through some personal work. I will have to agree with some of the other reveiwers about the sheath. The belt loop is fairly large, more than enough to have two belts on, I guess if you are wearing a gun belt also it would suit those needs. It will need a leg strap. With the belt loop being that large it will find a way of making a few bruises on my thigh under heavy movement. As far as the quaility of leather or the possibility of it being real leather...well leather smells like leather. I really doubt it is real leather completely. We will see if it to will put up with the stresses of being bounced around. The heat branded inprint on the sheath is a nice touch. The button with the Great seal of the State of Oklahoma 1907 inprinted on it is not something everyone I'm sure would probably take notice to at first glance. Seeing as the blade was struck in Pakistan I'm sure the sheath was made here in the states. I do question the TR65 surgical grade of steel seeing as it's made where it was. I have seen other utensils from Pakistan made from steel and they were made well and held up. Over all I am pleased with the $27 dollars I spent. I don't think I could have asked for more. But Time will tel all.

Fit and finish isn’t perfect but the 1/4 thick full tang blade makes up for it. It was made in Pakistan, not the best quality but I’ve used it to prep firewood camping and it gets the job done. Worth the price. It’s a big cool looking knife and looks great in my collection.

Extremely high quality. It exceeded my expectations and my expectations were high,so that's saying something! Has nice weight to it. The blade is actually surprisingly sharp! The handle wood is very nice and has no splinters. It is nicely sanded. The brass looks beautiful with the wood and stainless steel. The steel blade actually goes the handle and is secured with pins.It feels really heavy! Perfect for home defense. The sheath is genuine leather and is very high quality. The sheath looks really nice too and is the cherry on top of this beautiful knife.You can tell it was carefully handcrafted!
