I’ve purchased over one dozen Bowie knives from this knife distributer in the past 4-months from the low end pricing catagory. To put it bluntly, the “Classic Bowie Knife” is one of the poorest quality knives I’ve purchased in the $12 to $15 range. I purchased 2 of the “Classic Bowie Knives” over 2-months from 2 different vendors of knives; both knives were very similar in that they exhibited similar defects in workmanship. As with many low end big blade knives, this knife was produced in Pakistan, where the crafstmanship is mediocre at best. This knife is probably one of the better examples of poor quality & poor craftsmanship that one could find in Pakistani made knives. Both knives I recieved had varying amounts of rust & rust pitting on the blade, guard, and pommel. The wooden handle had varying amounts of pitting & splintering, despite attempts to sand it smooth, and as well the handles are to some extent asymmetric & mis-shapen. The brass fasteners that fasten the wooden handle to the knife blade are also pitted and/or irregularly shaped with some protruding past the sanded surface of the smoothed wooden handle. If one is looking for a very rough (albeit rustic) looking knife, this is the one for you. It does have some weight relative to its size, though. However, if I were a knife vendor with any self respect (or respect for the customers), I would not sell this knife. The two examples I received from 2 different vendors should have never made it to market. Needless to say, I returned the first “Classic Bowie Knife”; and the only reason I am keeping the second one is to show my collector friends & family an example of the type of poorly made knives that one may find on the market. If you like the look of this knife in the ad, do not buy this knife. Instead, look at the “Timber Rattler Custom Bowie Knife”; its a better quality knife for just $2 more; I’ve purchased & kept two of this latter knife.

Okay, so that might be a tad bit of an exaggeration. In all truth, I was a little disappointed when I first saw how the knife looked. It was obviously very cheap to manufacture (it’s made in Pakistan) and the brass guard was somewhat dirty. This knife definitely needed some work so I polished it allover, but that’s when I saw that it wasn’t really that bad looking, in fact, I found that the handle what absolutely beautiful. Another thing worth mentioning it that the blade was fairly heavy and has a dull edge. Again, the blade needed work. A good sharpening and you got yourself a cheap, effective cutting edge. Considering the price, it’s a good knife to give your other blades a rest from some of the abuse of removing sod, for example.
