United Cutlery? Pathfinder Tactical Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok this wasn't what I expected. First the good: I've only just recieved this but it seems to be well built. No loose parts or flimsy construct.
However...
This is a much heavier knife then I thought. It is not practical for combat use. But it would make a hell of a heavy duty kitchen knife.
There are no rubber inserts, or if the inserts are rubber, its a very hard rubber that doesn't help at all with the grip. So keep in mind that the grip isnt so great (not terrible, do to the shape, but not especially comfortable or slip proof).
The knife did not arrive very sharp, though with some work I'm sure it'll be just fine.
About the sheath, besides for being cheaply made (I'm sure it'll fall apart after some use), it has a 'safety' latch that keeps the knife in, but makes it very hard to unsheath.
So bottom line; It is a heavy duty knife that is not badly made. The sheath is junk though. It's a decent price, but not if you want it for army use. I would not take it into combat with me. It may be good for hunting though since I'm not a hunter, I don't know for sure.

Timber Rattler Western Outlaw Bowie Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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).

Ka-Bar Becker BK9 Combat Bowie Fixed Blade Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The BK9 "Combat Bowie" is a pretty big knife but it can stand up to some pretty heavy duty jobs. I have one of these knives in the storage building at home and one in the tool box of my truck while my wife has a BK7 in her SUV. These knives are tough enough to chop wood if you need to chop wood but they maintain their edge for finer cutting. They are handy for camping chores as well as home landscaping when an axe or machete is too much and a pocket knife is not enough. I bought the Becker knives several years ago when the prices were substantially lower than what they are today, thus the multiple units I own. About the same time I bought the Becker knives, I also bought a semi-custom knife from a well-respected company with a reputation as one of the strongest, sharpest heavy duty knives around. That knife cost over three times the price of the Becker BK9 and, honestly, it's not any better, any stronger, any sharper or any nicer although it did come with a nicer sheath.
While the price of the Becker has increased over the years, it's still a bargain in comparison to the competition. There's no reason to spend the extra money for a heavy-duty utility knife as long as the Becker BK knives are around.

Marine Drop Point Survival Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This knife is a spin off of the K-bar brand. I bought it specifically because it had the non-slip rubber grip that I wanted without spending $70.
Look, spending 10 bucks for a knife means you are going to sacrifice something, but with this knife at the price it's not too much. The knife definitely has some weight to it and has a good feel in the hand. The grip is also non-slip. About the biggest disappointment is that the blade itself although made of stainless, has a rather matte finish to it instead of a polished gleam. This seems to be a trend even in higher priced models. However the blade is not flimsy and I would not want to be on the receiving end of it... by any means.
The sheath is a hard shell type meant to be tied around your leg so it doesn't flop around. Actually the picture of the sheath is a little misleading at first because it looks as if the knife point is meant to stick out from the end of the sheath, but that is the tie down cords that have been cropped in the picture. For the price of the knife on sale, I think it is much more worthy than simply a gag gift.

SOG Specialty Knives & Tools F03T-N Jungle Primitive, Black Hardcased Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Jungle Primitive arrived packaged a bit poorly, the knife was covered in oil (to prevent rust?) however, the knife itself is full of features.
Pros: -The blade is stainless steel, comes pretty much as razor sharp as you would want on a workhorse knife, plus it has a no reflection black oxide coating
-the blade has two different degree serrations, the one on the back isnt too hard to use for small saplings (hope my neihgbors wont notice), while the serrations themselves contribute to the look of the knife.
-The handle has pretty good grip for the blade edge facing you or in front of you, plus the butt end of the knife has a tip addition that can be used to crack open things like a coconut, or a person's head (i didnt try the latter)
-comes with a nylon sheath which i also give 4 stars
-balance is biased towards the front, i find it helps with chopping motions.Cons: - using the big serrations on the back gets a little used to, you have to make a little indent with the small serrations to start it off
-the price, hmm i guess its okay, but i got it on amazon quickpicks for a bit less
Overall, i would recommend this knife, especially if you go camping or go into the woods alot. This knife would also serve its purpose if you buy it to impress friends or scare off people you dont consider friends.
Update-March 15,2011
I went to go cut some barley grass, and i just so happened to use this knife, after owning it for quite a while, i never sharpened it, yet it was as sharp as the day i first opened the box. Cut through tough blades of grass (no match for blades of steel) with ease. Still Highly recommend this knife!

An ideal tool for hunting, camping, and soldiering, the F03T-N Jungle Primitive knife showcases SOG's sophisticated style and quality construction. Featuring a molded Kraton handle and two serrated edges, the jungle-style knife was designed outside the mainstream for technical excellence, ingenuity, and affordability.
Versatile Construction Meets Military-Grade NeedsThe F03T-N is versatile enough to function as a small machete, a limb saw or a hammer.

On the back of the blade is a long, deeply serrated section, which is ideal for sawing through dense foliage. The knife handle features hammer checkering on the bottom for precise placement when pounding, and a scratch-resistant black oxide finish reduces reflectivity.

That's why this knife features a unique, molded Kraton handle. The handle features SOG's unique Digi-Grip texturing, which gives you gripping power where you need it most. And at just 14 ounces, the F03T-N is lightweight and easy to carry anywhere.

Ka-Bar 2-1276-5 Short Heavy Bowie Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If I had to pick a survival knife based on price, value, and what it's capable of doing, I gladly choose my Ka-Bar Heavy Bowie. This is an excellent knife for the money!
I don't find it all that heavy, although, some folks might. (just personal preference). This knife is very (VERY) sharp right out of the box, very well-balanced, and a very tough Kraton handle, which is molded to your hand.
I have used mine for splitting firewood, chopping, and just about anything else. With a very thick 1/4" blade, it splits most campfire wood fairly easily! It even makes fairly easy work with "wet" wood. I bring this knife on EVERY hike, and it's my main survival blade.
Comes with a REALLY nice sheath! Which is tough as nails, too!

Trademark Brass Wood Stainless Steel Primitive Bowie Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A pretty good knife for the money. A couple minor flaws but nothing to get exited about. Mine was not sharp at all but now has a pretty good edge on it. My biggest complaint is its balance, being a little too blade heavy for a fighting knife. It does thrust very well however and has a well placed point. It would surley work as a camp knife but the brass strip will get caught splitting firewood. Its a lot of knife for the money however and if your a fan of the Musso design its the best deal going.

Great for knife enthusiasts & weapon collectors. This primitive bowie knife is sure to turn heads. Built with a Mirror-Polished Stainless Steel Blade, fused with a Brass Spine with 1/4 inch spacing, allowing you to catch your enemies blade. Brass guard does not sit flush with back of knife and has a slight gap by design. The handle is built of Hardwood with a Polished Brass Trim. The knife fits snugly in a Custom Hand-crafted Leather Sheath, not only protecting you from the blade, but making you look good too.
