Nice sturdy blade and weight. Good price

For a dagger that's almost a short sword, this is the ticket. But general utility use is limited.
A fine weapon. Well balanced for both slashing and stabbing, it appears to be well made. It should come a bit sharper than it did, but the edge is adequate as is. The sheath (in contrast to those of some other fine knives) is as good as the knife. Unlike many Kydex-type sheaths, it has a sturdy nylon belt loop allowing it to be hung comfortably. The sheath holds the knife securely, but doesn't "strangle" it, allowing a quick and smooth draw. An interesting sheath feature is that the retention strap has a female snap cup on both sides, allowing the strap to be folded and snapped to itself underneath the hilt, allowing for a faster draw. Although it can perform some "survival" tasks it isn't designed to be a "camp" knife of use for skinning, butchering, whittling, or batoning. Since use as a weapon is its primary function, I'd like to see it as a true short sword with a 12-15" blade---which I think would sell very well, even with the necessary price increase. It's reasonably priced for what you get, and those who buy it strictly as a weapon (or conversation piece) will not be disappointed. Note: A number of jurisdictions---even some with lenient gun laws---ban the carry of double edged knives. The same company makes the same knife with a more tapered, single edged blade; which I have also purchased, and like for the same reasons. Though also not really designed as a camp knife, it would definitely be more functional in that regard. This one also came a bit sharper, and resembles a bayonet blade. Most closely, that of the Lee Enfield Mark III, minus about 4".

Nice big all around knife
It's not a hunting knife. kinda big for that and double sided does not allow for batoning wood to split for fire. But for defense it's awesome! big amd not too heavy. the only thing that makes no sense, is there are no instructions. heck of a box and packaging but I have no clue how the sheath is stuck up high in all the pictures. on the back pack straps etc. no sign of wire ties or the strap being used differently they are not using the slots on the sheath it's like magic!! double sided velcro? that would seem kinda sketchy , easy to loose the whole thing. Mayne they can suggest or include a Blade Tech style clip set up? I guess I'll have to buy something, or rivet something to sheath? really weird to show it as a duel.mounting system and even mentioning it in description. Knife is moderately sharp. I had to to finish sharpening it in order to shave hair off my arm. It would not be my first choice for a "Big Knife" for hacking my way through woods or mounting it to my pack. but it is a nice Knife. I expect that it's made in China so 67.00 is a little high I had a coupon but by the time I tried to use it , it disappeared? anyways good Knife, will know more after testing it out hunting and using etc. if anyone can contact me and tell me how it's attached "high ride" I would appreciate it. thanks

A modern Smatchet Well Made
This looks very much like the improve Applegate Fairbairn Smatchet. But at a reasonable price. It’s big and has a front heavy balance. The handle is large enough for a secure grip. Unlike the originals the handle is polymer. And so is the sheath (instead of leather. The knife also looks like a shrunk Roman Gladius. I bought it mainly because it looks like a Smatchet. For heavy duty, I prefer the Cold Steel Recon Scout or Trail Master. But this knife is good to go. Should make a good camp knife

Makes Opening a 55lbs bag dog food fun
This knife has taken the top spot, on the list of my most favorite knives ever. I used to get crazy angry and annoyed having to open Large bags of feed and dog food. You know, The ones that are impossible to rip open and forget trying to pull that little sting. That never works. This knife makes it fun, fast and easy I haven't found a way to comfortably keep it on me, but it does just fine in my truck for now. I think it would go great on the side leg, so I'll have to figure that out later. It arrives sharp and ready to slice. I've bought countless knives... pocket, boot, hunting , folding, butcher, butterfly even some swords. None of them feel and slice like this one. I'm Beyond satisfied with this purchase and will definitely approve it for you and your grandma.

Great
Well made. Wish the sheath was more traditional without all the lashing points

Fun not practical throwback design.
Sowcatcher reminds me of a gladiolus for the modern enthusiasts. Great construction with D2 tool steel. Grind angles all symmetrical with a nice finish. I got the silver blade black handle. Someone wrote their scabbard was messed up because one side has a small rivet. In actuality that's how the perfect retention is accomplished. One side must spread for insertion and withdrawal of the knife.

Ich habe die Version in all black gewählt. Das gelieferte Produkt kam in einer neutralen und sicheren Außenverpackung, die Produktverpackung ("Wolfgangs") war stabil und kann als stilvoll bezeichnet werden. In der Produktverpackung waren noch mehrere ergänzende Hinweise zu Pflege, zur direkten Kontaktaufnahme und weiteres beigefügt. Find'ich gut und hilfreich. Das Messer selbst entspricht vollumfänglich der Beschreibung und den Bildern, es gibt da keine Abweichungen. Sowohl das Messer, als auch die Tragehülle waren in perfektem Zustand: keine Kratzer, Schabungen oder farblichen Abweichungen oder sonstige Beschädigungen. Die Klinge war bei Lieferung gut scharf und sauber. Das Messer wirkt zunächst beeindruckend, allein schon aufgrund seiner Länge, im Verhältnis zu der die klinge dann eher schlank wirkt. Es handelt sich aber eben auch nicht um ein Bowie, sondern wie in der Überschrift beschrieben um ein Jagdmesser. Inwieweit dieses auch für andere "Outdoor"-Aktivitäten als für Jagd (oder wie bei mir fürs Sammeln) geeignet ist, lasse ich mal offen. Anders als ein Bowie, würde ich dieses Messer eher nicht zum Hauen (Fällen) kleiner und mittlerer Bäume so ab 10 cm nutzen wollen. Für andere Tätigkeiten neben den jagdlichen, wie z.B. Schneidearbeiten im Outdoorbereich (Büsche, Taue, Planen, etc.), Feuerholz schieben, aber auch wo eine stabile Spitze erforderlich ist, definitv gut geeignet. Es macht jedenfalls einen stabilen, soliden und gut verarbeiteten Eindruck. Ebenso finde ich die "taktische" PP-Scheide sehr gut. Erfahrungsgemäß sind die sehr haltbar und man riskiert keine Stichunfälle, wenn man z.B. stürzt, da die Messerscheide nicht durchstoßen werden kann. Sie ist gefällig, wirkt gut gearbeitet und qualitativ anspruchsvoll. Über dem Griff ist -natürlich- ein Sicherungsgurt mit Druckknopf. Die Aufhängeschlaufe (Cordura / Nylon?) ist mit der Scheide vernietet und kann direkt als Gürtelschlaufe aufgezogen oder durch eine Kombination von Druckknopf und Klettverschluss geöffnet und somit auch an anderen Tragegelegenheiten befestigt werden. Beim Outdoor-Einsatz aber bitte immer bedenken: um eine feststehende 22cm-Klinge außerhalb befriedeten Besitztums zu führen, sollte man auch immer eine gute Begründung haben, falls es mal amtlich wird... Meines kommt jedenfalls in die Sammlung.

Hochwertige Verarbeitung, liegt gut in der Hand.

Ein überaus schönes und gut verarbeitetes Stück, überzeugt mich in Natura noch mehr als im "Prospekt"; auch positiv anzumerken ist, dass es gut geölt war. Es ist halt ein technisches Produkt, welches spezifisch gepflegt werden will.

Es liegt super in der Hand, es ist Rasiermesser scharf und die Klingel ist nicht so dünn wie bei anderen billigen Messern 4 cm sagt schon was aus beide Kanten scharf. Nur was für Sammler oder die in den Busch wollen.
