It is hard to describe

It is hard to describe how I feel when I hold this knife. The sick part is how can I buy this for $30.00 some. If you love knifes grab one fast. Very very well made, with big sharp blade, and great sheeth.

More than just a fantasy

This is great knife. Used originally in the Oliver Stone's natural born killer, it is indeed a killer. It has more self defense properties than you will believe. I agree with the first reviewer that it would be awesome to carry and makes me long for the days when REAL men could carry big knives on their hips without people batting an eye. It has an awesome feel, very solid, good pommel on the handle if used properly. The sheath should have a rope to tie around your thigh and it carries very well offside with the blade facing the front. The snap will pop out with a little force on the blade but it won't affect wear as it is snug and gravity will help keep it there. I've been waiting a decade for this knife to become reasonably priced, so thanks United Cutlery and Hibben for the great reproductions. Don't hesitate!

Use or Display

I just received it today. I'm so impressed with the knife that I haven't decided to use it or display it. Maybe I need to buy a second one. I would often use it while backpacking, hunting and camping in the mountains of western Montana. This knife should handle any needs I might have. The pommel design is great for chopping or slashing. It shouldn't slip out of your hand. It gives excellent knife control. Unlike a previous review, this knife has a rock solid guard. The blade sharpness was okay. But, I found it inconsistent along the entire blade edge. It took only a few moments to sharpen and remedy; not a concern. My knife arrived one day late of scheduled delivery. However, Knife Center had previously notified me and why it would be late. My two experiences thus far with Knife Center has been 5 star.

Mine, after so many years

I fell in love with this knife when I was just a snot-nosed punk going to conventions. However, didn't have the $40 at the time to purchase it, and it was soon discontinued. It sold in the secondary market for well over $100, so I decided it would just be the one that got away. However, since it's now being made again, I couldn't help but scoop one up. It's a big, heavy knife with good balance and heft. Now it sits proudly on display on my computer desk.

Beautiful Knife

As soon as I saw this knife I had to have it, with the mirror finish and razor sharp edge it has become one of my favorites in my collection. It would have received 5 stars but the guard is a little loose and in my opinion should be solid as a brick!! Really nice knife.

JUST NICE LOOKING KNIFE

I just received my order afew days ago.Thanks for the fast and good service of KC. The knife is just nice looking but the only complaint I had was that the knife was very dull out of the box and needed to be sharpened before they could be used.
