I just ordered one and I can say Im very impressed the only other budget bowie that's on the level as this and price too is the Rough Rider Black Mule Bowie
By the time I got mine, it was a bit over $30, but worth a lot more than that in my opinion! Thanks for the review, you confirmed my thoughts about this knife after seeing a video of its manufacture. Those Pakistanis are some experienced blade makers! Giving credit where it is due!
It's like my Muela Jabalí 21, but on steroids , i lost it's handle wooden scales but i wrapped some rubber strip around the steel handles to grip It... And it's one of my go to Anywhere knife...🥰
I've never seen a feather stick like that even with a mora knife. This was my first Bowie knife many years ago. After that I bought some others from K Bar and Esee but this beats all. It looks much better without the guard. If they sold it like that they would probably sell more. I put the leather sheath inside of a canvas machete sheath from Rothco, the one with pockets. Makes it easy to carry. People in Pakistan have been making knives for thousands of years, they know what they're doing. Years ago I heard a review from someone in South America and they used them down there.
i just watched a vid of the guys making them in Pakistan, it's a bare bones manufacturering process there's no glue or plastics used in any structural components the wood and the steel is sourced locally the entire knife gets heat treated not just the edge ,its just grinding stones and elbow grease , i own one its still brand new, one day I'll take it bush,
Finally a good review not just someone saying oh yeah I’m a collector and it’s a good knife, but actually someone who put the miles in on it. Thank you, it’s been two years now, review 2??
I agree. It's a really good knife. I have 2 of them and I have yet to see one fail. I like your sheath, I was thinking of doing something similar with my sheath on one. This is a must--have knife for any knife enthusiast/collector/outdoorsman I just wish that the cutting edge would go all the way down to the choil, seems like quite a bit of wasted space having a ricasso over the choil. Oh well, maybe one day I could mod it If I could ever get around to it.
This was the exact video today for tomahawk review and lesson. Good work. Everything you said made sense. It's good to know there's people out there with the same mind set.
Very informtive brother, not like these little yuppies with their two thousand dollar sharpning machines. That they cant take to the woods anyways. You showing how to sharpen for the common man. Thanks brother.
Glad someone said it Js When a 30 to 25 dollar bowie Does far better than a 200 dollar one People probably hate this knife becasue of how good it is With mine my buddy thought of getting one because i had one that was dogged for about a decade And How to convince him i hammered a tenpenny nail in a dry 2x4 Then choped it in half It freaked him out lol Great knife This is the knife all knives have to match up to And nost dont lol I agree the cross gaurd is great when its gone lolol
37 bucks be here Saturday. Local dude showed me a scabbard he had sewn locally looked factory great. So if or when the sheath goes they can fix it right..... enjoyed watching this alot. I am gonna have some fun with this see how it holds edge.. how does it throw ?
Bro that's a badass knife, I want one when I get paid, I've bought a few knives from smokey mountain, I'm going to look when I finish your video, keep up the great work 👍
