A Decent Blade!

A decent bowie knife, it came sharp out of the box for me. The steel is of course a soft steel, I tapped the tip of the blade on the table and it rounded out the tip. But it's easy to sharpen this type of steel. The sheath smells like old boot leather, but it's a solid sheath. The snaps haven't fallen apart yet on me and it holds the blade securely even without the snaps on. The brass on the hilt and pommel wasn't polished at all out of the box, it looked terrible. I ended up polishing it myself, took just a few minutes. The blade seems to chop and bite the wood well sometimes. No nicks or chipping on the blade yet. I think the blade is worth its value. This is a good blade to start off with, so you can learn how to sharpen and baton wood, take it camping...etc. As someone stated in a review, it's a good beater. Overall, it's a decent knife, I'd give it a solid 3.5 stars if I could, hope this review helps.
