Great feel in the hand and proven materials for wilderness use. A good amount of heft really improves it's hacking ability on small to medium size wood processing tasks. It batons fairly well although the grind was not designed for such a task. The leather sheath has very limited attachment options the belt loop is huge so it slides around on your belt and there are no lashing points along the length of it. The stacked leather handles will soak up lots of water if you do not treat them with a protective substance but they look amazing and really give the handle a great rustic feel to it so having to treat the leather is a small price to pay. Overall great blade but the sheath is annoying so go with the kydex.

This is a very good knife, the handle on the suppression of leather rings make people feel very solid. The leather sheath is also well equipped with the only flaw is that if inserted too deep, you may damage the sheath

i got this for my husband for christmas. i was just the one he wanted. so the review is based on what he told me. he liked everything about it. i liked the price, he had been looking at these around town, and by ordering though you i saved over $40.00. he is a collecting items like this one. he said the overall quality looked better than the ones he was looking at. i don't think there was anything he didn't like about it.

Great knife with a lot of history. Feels good in the hand. The smell of leather and steel when you open the box is priceless. Very nice edge to it. Everyone should have one. Timely shipping from knifecenter.com

Wonderful historical memento and practical knife for a fantastic price. This Bowie style knife evokes the Pacific War when held in the hand. You can imagine holding it in a pitch-dark foxhole somewhere in the Pacific. The knife has the perfect weight and shape for any task imaginable and its leather washer handle and matte-finish blade have a utilitarian beauty. The edge is astoundingly sharp. For $50, this is a fantastic deal.

This is exactly what I had expected and read about. My son will be joining the Marines this fall and I wanted to present him with a part of Marine Corps history. The old is sometimes still the best.
