5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Outdoor knife. This thing is huge!, September 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ka-Bar Bowie Black Finish
This knife offering from Kabar is incredible. It is a huge knife and the quality of Kabar comes into every ounce. The knife is relatively light for its size and incredibly durable. I have split wood with it and its just an absolute workhorse. More so than the weight of this knife the limiting factor is the size, which for a survival tool is great but probably not a first choice for a fighting knife unless you want to scare the hell out of your opponent. It does come with a half leather(the back portion that would be close to your body and the belt loop/retention straps) and half nylon(which is backed by something which makes it rigid) sheath that has a plastic loop on the tip of the sheath to tie it to the leg or whatever the bottom of this knife will be contacting in your carry system.

I can't say enough about this knife for the money theres no reason not to get this knife and at least try it out. I doubt you will be dissapointed in this superb survival knife.

Awesome value!

5.0 out of 5 stars BAMF!, November 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ka-Bar Bowie Black Finish
Pros:
Excellent weight
Balanced feel, heavier tip which is good for a survival knife
Very nice edge to it right out of the box
Handle is very comfortable, more-so than I expected
Sheath is durable and functional

Cons:
...

Overall:
I took this knife on a 3 day backpacking trip into West Virginia in November and it performed excellently! I processed a LOT of wood with this knife and I have zero complaints! The only "failure" was when I went through some wood with more ease then expected and hit a rock with full force resulting in the blade receiving very small chips(surprised it wasn't worse). I really beat up on this knife and put it through "my test" and I absolutely love it!

This knife is AWESOME. No complaints.
5/5 EASY

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Blade, Not the Best for Batoning, March 12, 2010
By 
This review is from: Ka-Bar Bowie Black Finish
I bought this knife a year or so ago and have processed a bunch of wood with it. (Processed = Split wood length-wise by whacking a knife through it with another piece of wood) The blade has cut and handled the beating like a champ. The rubber handle split along the top really badly, really quickly with just a few misplaced blows.

If you decide to beat on it, don't hit the rubberized handle. It *is* a beast, though. Work it carefully and it'll do its thing.

I just wish they made one with an exposed tang running full length. (RTAK II maybe? Never used one... looks like it might?)

P.S. If you've read this far, check out Nutnfancy on the You Tube. (No, I'm not affiliated)
