Mossy Oak 14-inch Bowie Knife, Hunting Knife with Wood Handle | Full-tang Fixed Blade, Leather Sheath, Hunting Knives for Camping, Hiking, Survival

Incredible knife for this price. The sheath is garbage but what can I expect? The knife is great. I work outside everyday on my farm and I have a collection of knives, machetes, parangs, etc... This ended up being my daily. It works as a short machete and does light hatchet duty in a pinch, while still being small enough to open and cut boxes, it's the best of all worlds. If I were ever charged by a panther or boar i'd be happy to have this with me, it's study as can be and holds it's edge better than even more expensive higher end metal blades I've used.

I am very satisfied with the knife. It seems of good quality considering the price point. Very sharp right out of the package. The sheath seems a bit too small for the knife. The point actually cut through the material. Using the packaging, I fabricated plastic inserts for the sheath to safely guide the knife. Before first inserting the knife, I suggest purchasers loosen the sheath by inserting some object that stretches the material. Other than the fit, it's a serviceable sheath. Overall, well worth the cost.

This knife has a good weight well balance and sharp right out of the box. I own several Mossy Oak knives and they are all very durable. The sheath is well made leather and seems to be very durable as well. This is a beautiful knife.

The knife is great. but you do get what you pay for. its stainless so its blade retention is mediocre at best. but if you are only using it for brush whacking and general beating it will do the task. by design i know its not meant to be a mirror polish. but with a little elbow grease some whet and dry sandpaper. a good set of stones. a strop. and some white and green compound this thing will be beautiful. the brass pommel end and hand guard area seem to be glued on. i do not see a sign of pin's in them but the scales are. an easy fix if you have a drill press some copper rod and a little spare time to mess with it. The sheath is sub par. but for the price a resurfaced bit of split leather does the job. and doesn't look to terrible. i was not a fan of the double snap grip holders or the belt loop but that is personal preference. this weekend ill have made my own sheath with a bit of veg tan and rework it for a horizontal back carry with a quick thumb release. and polish this thing up and take it up to about 6000 grit. I put a quick mirror edge on it using compound on a strop after working it from a 500 to a 2000 grit and it passes the paper test with ease. only took about an hour. but mind you you will be stropping this blade on a fairly regular basis if you want to keep it that sharp. on a final note. the balance isn't 100% but that is also true for a lot of very expensive knives. what i will say is that the balance point on mine seems to sit about a quarter inch above the hand guard. and it throws true. and is light weight for its size and durability. Id definitely recommend to someone on a budget that wants something to knock a few branches back on the trail, or doing budget camping. i have not done any baton work with this knife nor do i intend to, i carry a separate beater specifically for that torturous job. but you will get beautiful feather sticks if you put a good edge on it. just remember to give it a quick strop on your sheath edge afterwards to keep your edge aligned and save yourself having to resharpen it every trip. TLDR; buy the thing and learn a skill or 2. save a fortune on another knife.

Absolutely fantastic knife, especially considering it's under $20. The brass on the pommel and guard are a tiny bit scuffed, but I'd imagine that's simply from not using a high enough grit to make it shiny and smooth. Again, we're talking about a $16 knife here, so not every single thing is going to be absolutely flawless. But the handle is super comfortable and ergonomic, and has a different shape to it than most handles for a knife this big. The wood is thinner than in the grips of a lot of bigger knives, which sounds like it'd be a negative, but it actually makes the knife super comfortable to hold and use. It also comes razor sharp (passes the paper cutting test, the cardboard cutting test, and the hair cutting test with ease). I don't see any dings or imperfections in the steel, and its shape and blade geometry are as they should be for a standard Bowie knife. For $16, you may as well buy it. It's a great knife!

I am a blade Smith I do design and make knives as a hoppy and have a lot of background and experience about them. This mossy oak Bowie amazing for its class level for 20 bucks you will not find a better knife than this. Steel is 3cr(420ss) looks well heat treated hardened arround 55 RC if I hade to guess from the way it sharpens and holds edge.Here is my opinion and experience with this knife -SHARPNESS OUT THE BOX is (7/10) takes a razor edge with few passes on ceramic -STURDINESS have to give it (10/10) for the full tang -DESIGN LOOKS, FIT AND FINISH (9/10) an art work of a knife very minor flaws and imperfections with the fit and finish. -EDGE RETENTION (7/10) grind is a hollow grind , edge retention is okay .steel little on softer side but Less likely to chip out will likely to roll if abused and by abused I mean really abused. -HANDLE (9.5/10) love this beautiful rose wood flows very well with the rest of the knife brass guard and leather sheath -SHEATH (9/10) real leather sheath well stitched had to cut one of the snaps off they kinda get in the way one is enough holds it secure. Think I covered everything here. It’s great knife it will handle any knife task again for 20 bucks(wood handle, full tang, brass guards, leather sheath)come on that’s insane where else you will find this. I know similar Leather sheaths alone worth more than the 20 bucks for the whole knife. Definitely worth it even if you don’t use knives just hang it this beautiful piece of art on the wall.

Lemme tell you what this is a 5 star knife for 20 bucks. Came sharp outta the box, and feels good in the hand. Thick steel and full tang should be very durable. I’ve chopped down a bunch of pepper trees, and chopped back a bunch of palm fronds with this knife no problem. It batons well too. I use it to baton hardwood for my bbq grill. Ive buggered the edge several times hitting it on concrete while doing this , and it touches up pretty easily. Sometimes I’ll walk my dog wearing this, because why not? Wouldn’t hesitate to take it camping, I already know from using it around my property that it would be an excellent camp knife. A good knife doesn’t need to be expensive, as evidenced here. Hasn’t shown any sign of rust, and overall just a great knife for the price. The only complaint I have is the upper leather keeper is kinda loose so I just leave it undone. No matter what knives you have, do yourself a favor and practice sharpening them

Gift for my brother, he loved it! Super sturdy handle and blade, arrived exactly as described!
