Took this on a week-long camping trip down south and it performed flawlessly. The VG-10 steel is no joke—it stayed sharp even after processing a ton of firewood and clearing some overgrown trails near our site. The leather handle is super comfortable and grips well even when my hands get sweaty. Sheath was a bit tight at first but broke in nicely. Really happy with it.

Bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband, and he absolutely loves it! It’s a massive, heavy-duty knife that feels like it could chop through anything. The mix of micarta and leather on the handle looks incredible in person. He uses it for all his outdoor chores now. Shipped fast and was packaged really well.

I live in the Pacific Northwest where everything is constantly wet, so I wanted a true stainless steel blade for my bushcraft kit. This VG-10 Bowie exceeded my expectations. Zero rust after a very rainy weekend in the woods. It's perfectly balanced and the full tang gives me total confidence when batoning wood. Great camp tool.

Absolute beast of a camp knife. The blade is thick and takes a wicked edge. I was surprised by how comfortable the handle is given the overall size of the knife. Definitely my new go-to for setting up camp and slicing through thick rope. Highly recommend!

This thing is huge and built like a tank. Used it recently for some heavy yard work and clearing out thick brush behind my property before taking it out camping. It chops almost as well as a small hatchet! The leather sheath is thick and holds the blade securely. Worth every penny.
