I took this massive 21-inch Bowie on a late autumn hunting trip, and it is an absolute beast. The Sandvik 12C27 steel is incredibly tough; I used it to clear thick brush and it held a razor edge the whole time. The Purpleheart wood handle is stunning—the copper guard gives it a perfect balance point so it doesn't feel as heavy as it looks. The leather sheath is high quality and holds this "mini sword" securely. Shipping was fast, arrived in just 4 days. This Arsons knife is now the centerpiece of my collection.

We bought this for our cabin, and it’s a conversation starter! Calling it a "Mini Sword" is accurate—the reach on this thing is impressive. The copper liners and that high-gloss Purpleheart handle look like jewelry, but the Sandvik blade proves it's a real tool. It chopped through firewood logs with one swing. The craftsmanship on the copper guard is seamless. Arrived in 5 days nicely packaged. A perfect blend of luxury materials and serious power.

This knife was excellent for my heavy-duty camping needs. The corrosion resistance of the Sandvik 12C27 steel is great; it got wet in the rain and wiped clean with zero spots. The handle is the highlight for me—the Purpleheart wood has a beautiful deep violet color, and the solid copper fittings add a nice heft that stabilizes the swing. The sheath needed a little break-in but is very sturdy. Shipping was quick (3 days). Highly recommend if you want a large blade that looks custom-made.

Robert was thrilled with this purchase. I honestly bought it for display because of the Copper and Purpleheart combination, but I decided to test it out in the yard. It slices through everything. The fit and finish between the copper liners and the wood is smooth as glass. It feels substantial in the hand, remarkably sturdy due to the construction. Shipping took about 6 days, which was fine. It’s a work of art that can actually work.

I used this Bowie for some winter brush clearing. The 12C27 steel is very easy to maintain and stays sharp. The ergonomic shaping of the Purpleheart handle kept my grip secure even with gloves on, and the large copper guard offers great hand protection. It really feels like an extension of your arm. The leather sheath is thick and protective. arrived in 4 days. Arsons Knife really delivered on the "Custom" promise with this one.
