SOL Survival Bowie Knife and Sheath

this bowie is very durable, has a good grip to it and chops small branches with ease. the sawback however dose not perform well. but it dose make it look pretty cool. plus its only $20. If you are looking for a good blade to clear some brush or just trekking through the woods cutting fallen timber for firewood on your next camping trip. this would make an excellent knife to have by you side.

Very sturdy...got these on a BOGO promotion..very good deal!!

GREAT KNIFE,GREAT VALUE,JUST RECEIVED 2 KNIVES,BOUGHT ON BOGO SALE,MORE THAN I EXPECTED,SOLID,GOOD FEEL,WILL BE A GREAT EDITION TO OUR DEER SHACK FOR ALL AROUND CAMP USE ! CAME SHARP ! THANKS FOR THE DEAL BUD K !

This knife is awesome! It's super sharp and handles like a dream . I highly recommend it.

I got this blade, two of them actually, in the BOGO sale- one for me and one for my dad for his birthday. I opened mine up right away and sliced the tip on my pinky-nail off because I wasn't expecting it to be so effing sharp. I proceeded to really test the quality of the edge and successfully shaved a section of my leg better than I shave my face with a Gillette. Though AUS-6 isn't exactly my first choice of blade, there has got to be a lot of chromium in the blade because it holds the edge amazingly well, or it's branded wrong and it's actually AUS-8 or -10. With not too much force, I can cut through 1/2 inch thick saplings with one swipe of this monster and still shave the hair off my arm seconds later. This blade is a must get for ANYBODY who needs a good, reliable, comfortable Bowie!

I got 2 for $20 great deal! pretty heavy duty knife very sharp out of box really cant complain about anything. the blood groove is only on one side but its not a problem for me. the saw blade isnt functional but i have yet to see a saw back that actually works. with the stainless blade and synthetic handle it will make a great all weather knife!

This bowie is the single best & most useful knife I have in my survival kit. It goes with me camping, hunting, etc. I love it so much, I've purchased one for a friend and recommend it to others as much as possible. Thank you BudK

Great design! Great quality!! Great knife!!!

It is an overall excellent knife, yes it is a bit thinner than I thought it would be. But it would make for a great camping knife, it is very sharp and has very nice detail.

This is a great Bowie knife. It came razor sharp and with a durable sheath. Great buy for 20 dollars.

Great knife monogram was a little hare to find but gave as a Christmas present.

Got the knife during the BOGO sale. For the price you can't wrong. When I received mine it did require a little work on the Work Sharp, but, now it's wicked sharp. The handle scales are ok and allow you to choke-up on the blade for finer detail work. The sheath is decent and I liked that it had a snap retention strap instead of a cheap velcro closure. All in all not a bad full tang blade! I plan on buying at least two more when they're on sale again.

I ordered two of these knives on the 'bogo' free shipping special about two weeks a go-this is a really good knife. Post's had said 'not real sharp...bad seath, not real thick blade, etc...' What the H**l do you expect for about $ 10.00/knife! My two knives came real sharp otb...this is a big knife, not a razor! Sheath is fine...it's a $10.00/knife bargin!

My friend got two of these in the sale and they were awesome. We had a great time and they came sharp, but his idiot older brother broke one by flexing the blade while it was in a tree branch. I recommend getting the knife but just dont be an idiot while using them

This knife feels great and handles great. Quite comfortable. Came sharp, but in two minutes with a stone it would shave your face. The sawback is basically useless for cutting wood. Got one for me and one for my wife in the BOGO sale and would recommend it to anyone that isn't wanting to cut wood with it. Very comfortable......

Nice, knife thick and semi-sharp out of the box. Nice heft and length. Thanks BudK

It came very sharp right out of the box. The blade is thinner than I expected but it is truly full tang. I also got 2 of these in the BOGO sale. Good for the price. I will add that on one of my knives the tang it a lil larger than the handle and the steel has a sharp edge. If you were hacking a tree or sawing with it you would surely blister your palm. I'm going for 4 stars. Good price and you get what you pay for here.

Got these { bought 2 {BOGO } with free Shipping !!! haven't had a chance to hack ,attack or whittle anything with them yet ? But they appear to be well made considering the price paid and free shipping + buy one get one free ! I couldn't pass up that kind of deal could I ? To be totally Honest I bought them more for the Coolness factor { how they look } They remind me of Catness's knife in The Hunger games that she uses to saw down the Limb with the Packer Jackers { Bad A&& Hornet nest with ? I know it's Not the same exactly but looks close to me anyways !!!! I've read some reviews on these knives that the saw back teeth on the spine of the blade are'nt as effective as they might be ? in that once you get past the depth of the saw teeth the sawing function isn't so great ? I have'nt tried sawing yet but I have another possible reason for the teeth ? They look like they could snag your opponents blade assuming you both only brought knives to a knife fight thus aiding you in raking it out of his hand !!! somewhat like the reasoning for the soft brass strip on fighting/bowie knives you often see ! so in retrospect I would give these knives a 4 **** rating A damn good deal on a Big Honking Blade and an excellent value !!! I would have Given it the whole 5 but as I haven't used either one yet that would seem premature I think !

I purchased this knife because i wanted a big blade but i didnt want the bulk of a tradtional bowie. The SOL has good weight and the handle seems to mopd to the size and shape of ur hand.

beautiful knife<br />sawback is surprisingly sharp<br />has great weight to it too<br /><br />only downside is that the sheath was actually cut in two by the knife itself. so i guess its too good at cutting?<br />regardless, wonderful buy.<br />my friends call it my secondary alarm system; anyone thinking of breaking into my car would see that monster and turn tail lol

this is an excellent knife. is has a near perfect grip, feeling very natural in hand. the handle itself is very nice with a mildly rough gripping surface, so it does not slip. the weight of the blade is well balanced, and the blade itself is quite large, monstrous actually. i normally do not like nylon sheathes as they do wear out but this is an exception, it's sized to be loose enough to not be cut by the blade, while not being too big. it does have one detail i should share' the serrations are carved out only on one side (as in the side not in the picture is smooth) and the same can be said of the blood groove, this however is not what i would call a problem. but it did seem worth mentioning

I purchased this knife a week ago. I have not owned a knife with an AUS-6 Stainless blade before. I have noticed 4 small pits in the steel that are spread out over the length of the blade. Because they are spread out, they do not appear to be affecting the blade strength of this particular knife. The knife has great balance. The full potential of this blade can't be reached due to design. The blade is thin. To reach its full potential the blade would need to be 1/4" Thick. Still, It is a good knife and is fast becoming one of my favorites. The steel is holding a razor edge. Also, the ABS handle may sound cheesy, however as the handle warms in your grip, it takes on a kraton feel that is comfortable.

I absolutely loved this knife. However, when I actually used it, the blade broke. Change the steel, and do an actual good heat treatment on it.

I bought two of these during the bogo and approximately 2" of the blade has been chipped out do to use on dry wood it is a good blade but only for small green stuff and the handle will mess up for pinky finger knuckle pretty bad with out gloves the S.O.L stands for you being S.O.L when it chips and shatters

Broke it trying to peel a pine branch, good thing I wasn't trying to survive. Don't wast your money. I've bought a lot of stuff from budk and this is the only item that wasn't up to par.
