Review: Beast of a knife - Great knife for outdoorsmen. I usually carry a Bowie when in the woods either hunting or camping. This knife is not only a thick blade, but it came shaving sharp out of the box. It has a thick handle also, which helps get a great purchase on this blade. The sheath is also very nice. As far as a hard working no nonsense outdoors blade, this will git er dun with little issue. For fine work, I use a folding trapper knife but for most hunting, this knife will perform perfectly. As far as self defense goes, this blade is perfect for 4 legged or 2 legged critters.
Review: Great Knife Worth The Pricepoint - For the money definitely a hard choice to beat. It’s well built and doesn’t feel like a cheap chinese stamp with low grade wood grip nor does it look like it. Mine arrived quickly and was well sealed it had a small amount of oil that wiped right off, not sure if the dry climate was to blame but the wood pieces were fit very nicely no gaps anywhere on the knife. Only dig was the blockiness of the front portion on the grips definitely could use a bit of sanding there but overall nothing that impeded the comfort and functionality of the knife. As for the size this is a big knife however the weight is well within controllable and for the thickness it is actually pretty reasonable. When it comes to the sheath yes I’ve seen nicer but for the price point and the knife quality I’ll take the solid stitching and thickness of the leather it’ll hold up fine for most any use. The steel is not something I have any experience with but after using this knife I can say that it holds up great. My edge had no difference from the box to cutting through branches this thing was great it stayed shave sharp with no damage to the finish. I’ve had a good bit of large bladed knives this is now one of my favorites to throw in a bag or keep in a vehicle, after putting it through my test it seems to hold up to abuse and at the same time it’s a good price point to not stress about it. I haven’t heard of the company or seen much information on them which gave me some hesitation at first but this is definitely a knife; I’d recommend buying if you’re looking for a good large thick blade or like me just interested in the BA-KOR products.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Miller Bros. Clone! Nicely Done!
*by N***Z on February 18, 2025*

Miller Bros Knives would cost upward of $400! Got mine for $38. Fit , Finnish , and Quality are top notch. Different Steel but prob just as good. DC53 steel are known for holding an edge . And I found that out to be true because I sharpen all the knives that I buy because I like my knives to cut paper towel without any drag and it took me a while. And the blade was already sharp to begin with from the factory. It was already able to cut paper towel but I could feel it dragging. If you don't care about the name but want a good quality knife I don't think you'll regret buying this. And one more thing , it is a large knife. I read someone complaining that the leather sheath was very thin. Nope! It's a thick , sturdy leather and fits the knife very well . Unlike knives made from Pakistan who are known to use thin flimsy leather.
