Totally Awesome!!

When I first learned of the Survivor knife by Gil Hibben for United Cutlery I thought, "Oh My God, another cheaply made Rambo knife!" But I kept seeing it and kept going by it on Ebay and other places. Finally I decided to just go ahead and buy it, just to be able to say jokingly that I got duped again! To my surprise, however, I learned that the knife is superb. First of all it was perfectly and professionally packaged. Then when I lifted it up for the very first time and felt its awesome balance and weight, and also saw that the serrations are perfectly detailed and cut, I was in total awe. But what really did it for me was when I went to put my own sharpened edge on the knife. Man, ther AUS 6 stainless steel is just wonderful. The knife holds a hair-shaving razor sharp edge, and I used and used and used the knife, cutting and chopping everthing. Then when I went to check and see how the edge held up, it was still as sharp as it was when i started cutting and chopping. This Survivor knife really rocks. I love it so much that I have also since bought two more just like it, and will put them up as untouched, unused keepsakes! Because the knife is sure to increase dramatically in value over time. I place this awesome knife as even better than the old discontinued Buck Buckmaster 184. I highly recommend this awesome knife. You just cannot go wrong with this one!

bowie

Very good knife well worth the money; would expect to pay alot more for it. The only con is the handle its fat for my hand but that's probably something I could get use ta. Shipping was fast just 2 days and the, service was awsome. Blade is flawless 2 pounds sharp and very sturdy design; but a little bulky to ware on the hip. Be careful with the snap when you first get it it sticks a lot just pry it up with a butter knife evenly /then oil /w/ Pam. Thanks knife center keep up the good work.

Awesome knife

Came in the mail in about 1 week. This knife is huge and well built! Sharp and comes with a nice leather sheath. It feels solid and heavy in your hand. The saw is grooved down the spine which gives it an awesome look. I highly recommend this knife.

Wow! This knife is massive. This would be a great hunting/survival/fighting knive, defintely multifunctional. The sheath is high quality thick leather, which is required for a blade this large. The handle matches the quality and beauty of the blade. The weight is ideal for heavy use or fast weilding.

Sharp!

My first purchase at the site. Its a little bit bigger than my thought, but more powerful on looking. Same blade as Rambo, better handle than that!

Nice Knife.

Use this knife for hunting, fishing and camping. Good quality. Hope it holds its edge. Handle looks nice but slippery when wet. Sawback is more for looks than function.

Nice, heavy knife.

Very nice and heavy knife. Clip point reverse edge is not sharpened on my bowie. Metal handle spacers are not finished flush with handle material and are slightly raised and sharp when held in the hand.
