Absolute unit of a knife. Took it on a camping trip last month and used it to clear some thick brush around our site. It's heavy, but it chops through branches easily. The purple handle looks way better in person than the pics. Shipping was fast, arrived in 4 days.

Bought this for my husband's collection. It's huge! Beautifully made. He hasn't used it much outdoors yet, mostly just displays it, but he loves the solid copper details. It arrived nicely packaged.

Great steel, holds an edge well through tough camp chores. My only gripe is the sheath is extremely tight right out of the box. Hard to get the knife out with one hand. Hopefully it breaks in soon. The knife itself is 10/10 quality though.

I'm a collector of large outdoor knives. The fit and finish on the copper guard is impressive, absolutely no gaps. It came sharp enough to shave hair. It feels very substantial in the hand. A true work of art.

Beautiful knife but be warned, it is HEAVY. If you aren't used to big knives, this might be too much. For me, it's perfect for what I need in the wilderness. The leather sheath is thick and very protective.
