I bought this for my father as a Christmas gift, and I’m going to give it to him today. When I first opened it, I was surprised by the size of the knife actually, I expected to be a little smaller when looking at the images, but boy was I wrong. I wore gloves when I first took it out, because I didn’t want my fingers to dirty this amazing knife. I checked the knife to make sure it wasn’t warped, there was no delamination, no cold shuts, no discoloration, everything is solid. I cannot wait for my dad to see it later today. My third purchase from this site, and I am still pleased.

not only did I buy one but my grand daughter bought one for her husbands birthday. its one of my best knives. for the money, I was surprised at the workmanship. even though its made in china [like everything is today], its a great knife, I don't know how they can sell it for such a low cost, I am going to get at least one more. one of the best buys ever.

If you are looking for a high quality affordable knife then you can stop looking This is it. Impressive from top to bottom the high quality leather case was worth the price alone. I will be purchasing more knives and gear in the future.

I've been wanting a Bowie for my collection and when I ordered this one I was hoping that it was the one. Well, I wasn't disappointed. The size, feel and weight was just what I was looking for. I would recommend this one. You will have to sharpen it to your own desire but it is a very good Bowie. But the engraving was a little cheesy. It looks like laser etching and not a true engraving but this has NO reflection on the knife.

I collect blades as a hobby.I have a large variety of blades from pocket knives to swords.When i bought this knife i knew it would be large but i didn't know how large.Its strong and has a magnificent handle.Its abnormally heavy weight for a Bowie knife makes it feel like a small sword.The sheaths strong and i always love the smell of leather.The shipping was much faster than i expected.I love it so much i am trying to think of a name/title for it.The price is very cheap for a knife of this great quality.It makes one feel powerful just holding it.I recommend this knife to anyone who can appreciate the beauty of a good knife.

This is one impressive piece of steel. I don't know how this can be called a knife, its more like a short sword! For $20 its a steal and an awesome addition to any collection...

I have purchased some cheap knives. This is not a cheap knife, it's a quality inexpensive knife. The T6 full tang steel is awesome, sharp and solid. The handle is beautiful and perfectly fit, nice brass. The sheath is heavy solid leather. I am amazed at the quality of this knife for the price. Stunning to look at, good feel and balance. If your on the fence about this purchase, jump and don't look back you will not be disappointed.

If you are into bowies, this is a great inexpensive knife. This isn't a knife that is made to set in the safe to look at, its made to work and carry. If you are expecting a show knife this isn't for you. That being said, it is a very nice knife for overseas construction. It is full tang, with a real brass pomel and, finger guard. Mine came to me out of the box decently sharp. The blade is constructed of surgical steel, so it will hold a good edge and take a lot of beating. The blade is around a 1/4 inch at the thickest point. The wood handle construction is very nice for a $20 knife. The sheath is ok, I have heard a lot of people complain about it, but its not that bad. My two complaints with the sheath is that the belt loop is a little to big, I feel you would pull the sheath up to far when you are skinning the knife, and in between the face and rear of the sheath lies a foam insert. I feel that could wear away over a long period of time. The snap for the sheath also gets in the way when you are skinning the knife and, you will probably start to slice into it. Those are my only cons with this item. Over all this is an awesome knife made to work. I will be ordering another Timber Rattler knife soon.

I decided to give this knife the benefit of the doubt, and i'm glad I did. this blade goes way far beyond my expectations. the edge is near razor sharp right out of the box. I highly recommend this knife to any one!!!!

This is an awesome knife. It came razor sharp. I was a little surprised to see how beautiful the handle was,could not be better. Only one tiny nick to the top of the blade as the only flaw, so I might of gotten one of the best ones. Nice heavy blade about 1/4 inch thick. Steel is T 65 surgical steel the stuff scalpels are made of, be the reason why it is razor sharp. The sheath is ok and will do. I high some high expectations from reading the reviews and I am not disappointed. I doubt if you could find a better value on a bowie else where. I payed $17.00 for mine, what a deal. I would recommend this to everyone. I will be buying more from Timber Rattler in the future. If you have any doubts about buying this BUY, good reviews from 366 people, enough said!

Comes as described and is way sharper than I thought it would be as it has already drawn a little blood and as shown in the video it can hack a tree apart in just a few swings of this huge blade. Buy it you won't regret it in the least.

Love this beast!! Sheath was a bit nicked but who cares for the price??!! When I show it off, I ask everyone if they want to see my new "lil pocket knife"!? Pretty darn sharp too. I died put a finer edge to it though, and stropped her.

This knife is a great buy, its hand crafted full tang and heavy. You can't beat it for $20 I bought two, one for me and one for a gift for my brother. The blades were both shaped a little differently his had more of a curve towards the tip and less of a point but mine looked exactly like it does in the picture. Beautiful knife, don't store it in the leather sheath or it will rust pretty quickly unless you keep the blade oiled and the inside of the sheath as well. Leather holds a lot of moisture.

Great Price. True Masters made this blade. I give it 5 thumbs up…..This knife can cut 5 thumbs off in one stroke, Super sharp …Now I have to buy another, One for play and one to show as a work of fine Art.

This is an excellent Bowie for a modest price. There was a reason these knives were the knives of choice in the 1800's. This is a great knife for the money.I love mine.

An absolute beast of a knife and well worth the asking price! A full tang blade is the only way to go for a Bowie you intend to use for hard service and this one will serve your purposes well! Sharp out of the box and a leather sheath that is serviceable makes this a steal! Wife tried to Hi-Jack this blade for yard work so I gotta buy another. GET ONE!!! You won't be disappointed. 2 thumbs up to Timber Rattler!!!

Ever since I was little I've wanted to start a knife collection. And I wanted to start it off with a knife I have always wanted which is the bowie knife. I searched many web sites to find one to my liking and I came across this one on amazon. My first thought was when I saw this one was "my knife collection would be perfect with this piece" and it wasn't long until I ordered from amazon...when I saw this knife in person I was mesmerized by the MASSIVE size of the blade. If your a knife collector this knife is a must have I guarantied you that would not be disappointed with this knife and also its impressive with cutting objects....my only downside to it was that when I received it the bolt that secured the fastener and the belt loop was off of the sheath but it can be repaired.

Wow!! That is a huge knife. Ordered one after new years and I thought they gave me a hand cannon. It'll cut through just about anything once you sharpen it a bit. I felt like a kid with a tree branch in a twig fight. IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS FOR TWENTY BUCKS!!!

Excellent value for the price, very heavy and thick. It reminded me of Crocidile Dundee in New Yor City, when he encountered the mugger. "Now That's a Knife!" Don't try to go outside with it, cause you'll get arrested in a second. It's that freaking scary looking....

I was surprised by the size and strength of this knife. I was also surprised at how sharp it was and how well in the year since I bought it that it's held its edge. The handel wood was well fitted and was securely held in place. It's a massive and good looking knife that sharpens well and holds an edge, what more can you ask for. All for $20.

As my headline would indicate, this knife is just plain out freaking awesome. I got it for my friend for his b-day and he almost kissed me but settled for kissing the knife instead. Pros: sharp, really big, has awesome weight to it, and looks great. Impression on sheath look cool too. Cons: The hook thingy on the hilt was really sharp and I cut myself on it getting it out of the box and the handle was too gray

My gosh what a blade. Tremendous value for the price! I'll have to put rocks in my left pocket to balance me out to walk a straight line. Mine could have been sharper out of the box but nothing I can't fix. Highly recommend this blade to anyone, warrior, soldier, hunter, wanna be, no matter, you can't go wrong.

Got the word from a friend that this beautiful blade is great for work in the field or on the collectors sow shelf! As soon as I can this will be mine some day! He knows Quality and I have been collecting for years! After seeing it , he was right!

This is a great buy for just under twenty bucks. I always seem to end up selling this to my friends though. It is a favorite buy. It is a big bowie. Heavy and solid. And I also thought the leather sheath was good on all the ones I have bought. So if you want a bowie collection this is a must have for a great price. Hurry because these sell fast.

You can't find a deal like this anywhere , every time I show it to anyone they love it ! Then, when they find out what I paid for it they think i'm BS-ing them! I've bought a bunch of them just so they won't take mine when i'm not looking ! Great Deal and great craftsmanship ......... If you don't buy it your really missing out !

the knife it self is quite large the Blade is strong 11+in. cutting surface 9and5/8 by 1/4 in thick yes 9 5/8 inches of Razor sharp surgical steel... sliced paper with not a miss no drag co. thru layers of card board for hours like it were sheets of paper and still even shaved hair off my arm just like a barbers Razor. I would not hesitate to recommend this to a friend, the only disappointment was with the sheath, it fell apart first time I strapped it on, thin leather and the rivets ripped rite thru... Boo-Hoo does not retract from the quality of the knife at all I think the amount of steel alone in this knife is worth every penny... maybe for chopping great oaks spring steel may be more suitable but this dose d**n good job for my money, hamered on this all day long making kindling and tent pegs, my Fiskars hatchet is on stand by for now. I will make a sheath for it myself, it is the least I could do for the work I have gotten out of it. I am very impressed by the words Made in Pakistan... you should be too...

This knife surpasses all expectations. It's very well made and considerably heavier than I was prepped for. Get this "monster" if you want to see your friends' eyes bulge. It's worth every penny and much more.

Great knife.i was impressed by the size and weight as well as the feel of this knife.....the handle is big enough for a large hand and the blade was sharp ....the appearance is menacing..i liked it so much i purchaser other timber rattler knives...buy this and enjoy

I love this knife! Big enough to handle those jobs that a smaller Bowie just won't do. And, for $20.00, it can be easily replaced (if ever needed!). That's a knife!

You seriously don't realize how big this thing is until you take it out of the box. When held upside down, the blade is as long as my forearm. When people say "Nice knife" I say it's not a knife. It's a "Knoife" with an australian accent. It IS full tang, and alot of people will lie about that, but you can see the entire tang. The blade is thin enough to not feel awkward and too heavy (Although it's weight will take some getting used to) but thick enough to where it is as sturdy as you could possibly need it to be. I've chopped wood with it. When I got it, I was cutting 1-2" limbs off of trees in one chop, sometimes two. And astetically, you feel like a post-apocalyptic outlaw person holding it. I didn't put it down for several hours that first day. For the price, if you're looking for a large bowie, this is the one.

Exceptional quality; the knife looks like it would go for much more than the asking price. The blade has heft, the handle is very well designed; as a tool or a fighter, this knife is exceptional.

when i first received this knife i was a little curious as to the quality for $20.well that was answered after i opened it.it is a very big and heavy knife with the potential for many things.from the blade to the handle excellent quality.the only things i would try to correct in the future are the blade was not that sharp.i like them razor sharp.also there was an inconsistent flow of metal in the mold of the pommel.(a little hole on the bottom and top of guard was scratched up (some deep grooves in metal)all in all for $20 i am pleased.

This blade is a very sturdy design, somewhat heavy, easy to wield. and very VERY sharp. Be extremely careful when cutting with this knife, i speak from experience. i was cutting with this knife, when it slipped and sliced about a half an inch into my index finger, clean cut. This thing works great for any task, just be careful is my only precaution.

The photos and video showed a fairly decent built knife. They do NOT do it justice. You could stamp Gil Hibben on this knife and not know the difference, except this one is useful..lol SOLID build, HEAVY blade, SHARP edge. And the carry sheath, wow. I do leather work and it looks like something I would have made. It will last the life of the knife. I'm on here today because I'm ordering another for my son.

I bought this knife more or less for the WOW! factor. Along with the decent reviews and the price, I figured it wasn't much of a gamble. MY expectations however were not very high. I was more than pleasantly surprised. Keep in mind my five star rating is taking into account the price of the knife. Nevertheless, I am well pleased. It was very sharp right out of the box. Fit and finish were very good. I have seen a lot of negative comments on the sheath. I either lucked out big time or they have taken these comments to heart and improved it greatly. Heavy leather, nicely embossed, full rivets not tacked belt loop, heavy retainer. Very nice indeed. In fact, I also ordered a couple of Hibben knives which have nice sheaths, and I would rate this sheath right up there with them. Very impressed and in fact will be ordering some more for gifts.

It's a fantastic knife for the price. It's not perfect, but you get a whole lot of bang for your buck with it. It's big, heavy, beautiful and mine came sharp enough to shave with. Even the sheath was pretty good, although the rivets that hold the belt loop on were very poorly attached. The craftsmanship was also well above what I expect out of a Pakistani knife. Here are the deficiencies or inaccuracies I noted. 1) The swedge isn't real. It's actually flat and about 1/8" thick. This probably makes the knife more practical for things like batoning, but an accurate Bowie would have a sharpened swedge. 2) The rivets on the sheath are not secure. A light tug was all it took to pull the belt loop off the sheath. It's an easy fix though and otherwise my sheath was quite nice and the leather used was good and thick. 3) The edge comes sharp and easily takes a sharp edge, but it won't hold one for long. If you actually use this knife regularly, take a sharpener so that you can touch it up frequently. All in all though, this is a great knife for the price.

In my 65 years of life I have owned many knives, some good, some bad, but this particular knife is absolutely one of the best I have ever used for the amount of money it took to purchase it! I would recommend this blade to anyone!

I bought one of these a while back and the handle was squared so I reshaped it. The new ones are improved and have rounded surfaces on the handle scales. I call it the "Monster Bowie!" Even larger than Dundee's Bowie, a real hand axe! Highly recommended and a fantastic value for the price. I give it a 10 rating and I own 3 of them now. Great companion to my M48 Tactical Tomahawk too.

Just got the knife today. I have to say this thing is enormous. It is fairly heavy, but is solid. There are a couple little dings in the metal that are hardly visible which isn't a big deal. It came razor sharp and looks as pictured, except the color of the handle is a bit lighter and looks bluer. I have yet to test out this knife outside because it is pouring, but I plan on putting it through h**l. It's awesome when you first show anybody this knife because all they do is burst out laughing at how absurdly large it is. It looks more like a short sword rather than a knife, but I see it working nicely when it comes down to sheer chopping power.

I hate to make it harder for me to get more of these by telling everyone how great they are ... but they are awesome! I grab one every time there is penny shipping, making it an even $20 a pop. I have several, and give them away to friends who are always like "holy sh*t that's a monster blade!". They are solid and fairly sharp straight out of the box. All the sheaths I have gotten with them have been good so far. It's definitely a "that's not a knife ... THIS is a knife" kinda blade!

I got this knife about three weeks ago, and I can only say good things. I was climbing a tree during my workout the other day, and this thing cleared 1/2-1 inch thick limbs with a flick of the wrist. It also can be positioned to hang comfortably while you move and shake (I wear it cross-draw). It works. It will bit you, as well. It can bite through anything with a good flick, yet can also do detail work. And for $20. If you're thinking about buying this, you're wasting time that could be shipping time. Stop thinking and start buying. Go. Right now. Don't disobey me. Also, the customer service was godly.

Like Chris Tucker in Friday! This is an awesome blade...so heavy, so BIG! Full tang, very well crafted, nothing loose or jiggly...feels like very solid craftsmanship. I haven't torture tested this thing with branches and such, but just by holding it you know it's tear through quite a bit quite easily. And as far as intimidation factor...you definitely win! H**l, I bet this thing would kill a grizzly! But of course, he'd kill you too...but you wouldn't die alone with this awesome knife! I should have bought two!

After purchasing this knife at the first of December of 2012 for my Christmas gift for myself I fell in love with the quality but what took me back was the origin of manufacturing, Pakistan, with a history of making pure junk in the past I got nervous so I put it to use in the harshest conditions I could find. It functioned so well I purchased another as a back up. Top of the line, made to last, and fits your hand perfect plus the edge held up even to 6" tree limbs and the price is unbelievable, Might as well be giving them away. This knife is almost indestructible.

Really a great knife--I've see many similar knives for two or three times the price. Good solid construction that fits nicely in your hand. If you're looking for a big, high-quality knife, you can't go wrong with the Timber Rattler.

I recently purchased 6 bowie type knifes including the pig sticker and while all were good for the price and all but one were Sharp buy far the outlaw was the best. Not only was the overall weight of the knife outstanding the blade came sharp as razor . At first I was like Surgical Steel I guess. But when I got it and almost cut my finger off I was very pleased. Not only did it take to my stone well it stayed Sharp even after some abuse . Not only have all my friends been like Wtf Dang that's a knife they also are getting one . don't hesitate buy today. If your in the market for one of their bowie knifes look no further and make this your first one you will not be sorry

This knife is awesome. Its huge, well made, solid with no wiggle or play at the handle or guard, very sharp, It also has an excellent leather sheath that alone is worth about $20. I Plan on buying another one when the penny shipping sale comes back around. Pakistan is now making better quality knives than before. I'll also be looking into other large full tang knives from Timber rattler. I recommend this knife. Buy it. You wont be disappointed.

Ill admit it right off the bat and say I actually order this knife without seeing the size measurements. I had stayed up all night trying to find the right knife and comparing. Finally I saw this and just bought it. I wanted something I could wear around the yard and when I take walks back in the woods. When It arrived I was shocked. It was bigger then what I thought. I quickly thought "Well this isn't practical" After using it for about a month now I have realized it was one of the best purchases I have made! I can easily cut down small trees,and if I wanted to hack through any size tree. I can debark logs with ease. I keep mine strap to the front of my quad because when I am outside the quads always near me. I saw a couple reviews and all people did was b**ch about it being made in Pakistan. Its a knife,if that really makes you unhappy write it in your diary. Its a $20 knife.

I really wasn't expecting much for the price, but read some good reviews and have to admit, I was a bit amazed when I got it. This is a heavy piece of steel! The sheath amazed me as much as the knife did. I love it! Great for anybody who's into knives. You can cut down a tree with this!

Like everyone says, this is one HUGE knife. I was a little skeptical before I bought it because a 20 dollar knife means "don't expect much". I was wrong. This big bowie is an outstanding value. Full tang, mirror polish, 1/4" thick spine on the blade, and actually shaving sharp out of the box. I liked the first one so much that I bought two more. When I got the other two they were a little less perfect than the first one (one had some small chips out of the handle, and the other had some brass imperfections... but no big deal at $18 each). I really can't believe that these knives are this good at this low of a price. As others have said, the sheath is nothing special, but I think that they must have upgraded the sheath since the early reviewers got theirs. My sheaths are decently thick leather and the button strap is nice and thick. I have already investigated making my own heavier sheath when the factory one wears out. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for a big knife.

great knife when i first got my knife there was a huge chip on the tip but it came out after honing and a little sharpening it is a great knife The sheath is to thin for practical use but a great display piece I suggest buying or making a new one if you intend to go camping or hunting with this knife

When I ordered this, I expected it to be just a thin,flimsy display knife. It is anything But that! This is an absolute MONSTER of a knife! It is very heavy and can slash through anything. Definitely going in my bug-out kit. Get this knife!!

I recently received this knife and it certainly is heavy duty. It did lack some quality standards I would have liked to have seen but for the price it is well worth it. You could get higher quality knives but it would cost alot more.<br /> But what really impressed me is the followup on the part of True swords to actually call me in regards to this product and the companies reputation. They were very willing to do anything to keep me as a happy customer in which a resolution was agreed upon.<br /> I have purchased items prior to this knive and have been very pleased with their products and services. I look forward to future purchases with True Swords and appreciate their overall concern with my satisfaction.<br /><br /> Thank You

This is an absolutely amazing knife!! It comes sharp, and handles about anything u need it to. The only problem i had was the sheath. It is good but the strap that buttons onto the sheath is too small. I stretched it so it would snap together tho. Overall amazing knife.

Nice big hefty knife. I used it like they did in the video (chopping wood) and the brass pommel broke loose and started to rattle almost immediately. Other than that annoyance, it seems pretty tough.

The Timber Rattler Western Outlaw Bowie is an imposing knife. It is very large with a striking design and look. Although a heavy knife, it handles very well and is comfortable to grip and use. I am quite pleased with it and rated it 4 stars instead of 5 for only one reason - inconsistency in sharpness on delivery. I initially bought 3 and those were excellent. They were sharp out of the box and with only slight effort I was able to put a very keen edge on all 3. I then ordered two more, and these were not sharp at all on delivery and took considerable work to sharpen. Once that was done, they were as good as the first three, but it would be nice to have a little more consistency in that aspect of these knives. That being said, they are still an awesome and impressive knife and well worth the price.

Ordered 2 as gifts one was in great shape, one needed a little finishing work on the handle. After reading some reviews on some name brand knives that fell apart, I consider this a wise purchase. The sheath, is a little lacking. They are big, and if for nothing else, great for conversation and intimidation.

Great looking knife right out of the box. Fairly sharp but can be sweetened up a bit. Massive, full tang blade and thick, too. Only complaint was that the sheath had a big pair of blemishes on the back side. It didn't look like it happened in shipping but may have been done at the Chinese packing plant. Otherwise the sheath was very nicely made, solid leather. Great knife for the price.

Would have given 5 stars. Strap on sheath broke as soon as out of the box. Knife itself is very impressive. With proper care this knife as good or better than $$$$ knives on the market. FYI I'm a combat vet, retired police officer, knife maker and survival, firearms, self-defense instructor.

My girl got me this knife for my birthday it's really big more like a small machete. The knife came on time but was unhappy after paying $9 for shipping I had to pick it up at the post office should have came to my door but as for the knife it's very strong heavy but strong there were alot of little defects in the brass and a few in the handle not to bad but the only issue I had that made be very unhappy was there was a nice size chip in the blade up at the top I considered returning it for that reason but figered it probably would be to much trouble. The knife didn't come really that sharp but about as sharp as pocket knife you would pick up in the store and as far as the sheath my opinion is great looks and fits nicely is a big knife so it gonna be a little awkward and could use a tie, I probably will add one. I would recommend this knife to anyone who wants a huge knife and even with all my complaints the only reason I am not completely satified is because of the chip but I am sure it's just one in a million and I got the one so I will give it 4 stars if not for the chip would give it 5

Ok here we go, whole thing weighs 4 pounds. Much bigger than you would ever think a realistic person would make. its dificult to swing because of these 2 factors. However, the choil makes A WORLD of difference and is quite comfortable to hold. Full tang pommel is on there. nothing moves on knife except bulster on side fell out when thrown. Not a Thrower. Steel is good quality even though it came with blade half sharpened it was easy to sharpen. Sheath: lump of steaming s**t. Leaves a residue on the blade and floppes around like a large hard paddle because it has no tie down or handle secure. dificult to pull out and even more so put back because the strap on sheath is in the worst position imaginable. needless to say, i dont use the sheath and am having trouble finding reasonably priced kits that would fit the gargantuan blade. overall, for a biiiig bowie its beautiful. except minor steel decay, and the grips didnt come blue but a greenish gray. not complainig good look but not what i expected. sheath sucks. alot. but definitely only knife in its class

Got this a few days ago and was skeptical because of the price. I was wrong! The Bowie surpasses my expectations. Strong blade, good heft, very good workmanship and an edge that was almost razon sharp. Very impressive for a knife that only costs $20.00. I've already recommended this one to many of my friends. You won't go wrong if you're looking for something to augment the rest of your blade collection.

This thing is anything but ordinary, but the most obvious feature to this knife/cleaver/mythical god slaying blade, is besides its size is weight. This f****r is HEAVY!!! You better consider that very carefully if you plan on taking this anywhere, and on using it, if you lose control of this in a swing, pray, because if what you're swinging at doesn't catch it, something will. However taking all the hindrances into account and working around them, this knife will be very helpful. A flick of a wrist will effectively bury the blade into d**n near anything, it will make kindling very effectively, and shavings, the edge will need work but nothing impossible. Overall it is a good camp knife and in a pinch a serious hand held defense tool. Worth the money.

this is the best knife ever my ma bought me this for my birthday and it is practically indestructible! the only downside is that the handle is uncomfortable the sheath seems fine but smells like wine but I don't mine though. besides some dumb a** came in and dulled the blade to about nothing it still stayed intact i will give it a 4 star rating but it needs a better grip.

good knife but get rid of the seath. it rusted the knife. there are 2 spots of my blade that didn't rust after a week of sitting in the sheath and that is where the metal clips covered the leather. also i don't think it's stainless. true stainless would never rust this bad. the rust actually cracked the blade. it'll probably snap from a good whack now.

The knife is very good except for the fact that it is not "surgical stainless steel". I put it aside for a week or so and when I took it out of the sheath it was covered in rust. I have many things made of stainless steel and have not seen rust on any of them. Perhaps Pakistan does not consider rust to be a "stain".

I read the reviews and watched the video before I purchased this knife. I saw the comments but took them at their face value. You have to read between the lines. This knife is thick and dull on arrival. Sharpens up fine but takes a while. It's brutally heavy and the sheath, though nice looking, is very difficult to use and very stiff. Even with 24 hours of practice so far, I still have not mastered re-sheathing. Splits wood like they said when sharp; but the weight is not for the meek and hard to stop once it's in play. Not exactly what I thought it would be. The handle is cold to the touch in all types of weather. I like my knives to feel warm against my palm. Can't recommend it; but will continue to take it to the woods for firewood occasionally.
