Review: Big knife for big hands - I could not be more pleased with this beast, like the bullet dodger says, "The weight is a sign of reliability" definitely made with the larger strong handed individuals in mind, hands down my favorite carry blade. Arrived a week earlier than estimation and has a semi decent edge out of the box. The only con I have is that the belt clip is kinda crap, as a crafter I'll fix that in a jiff. Great shape and size for a horizontal sheath. Love it!
Review: Heavy Duty!! - This knife is really sharp and Heavy Duty…but the handle is really small (3 fingers). You have to use the finger ring. Kind of pricey but really unique…could probably punch a hole through a 55 Gal. Drum. About 10mm thick. Nice sheath…Perfect fit and finish. Good job guys!! Thanks !! Have a good one. 😃
