Yes, I agree with Bear that this Timber Rattler Bowie is a great knife. I give a 5 out of a five. Great knife for camping and great for defense if ever needed.
That's One Bad Knife Man! Great Review! I have One Myself! After watching Your Review it almost makes me wish the guard on mine would break too! LOL! Anyway Awsome Review! I'll keep watching. K. Smith
By the time I got mine, it was a bit over $30, but worth a lot more than that in my opinion! Thanks for the review, you confirmed my thoughts about this knife after seeing a video of its manufacture. Those Pakistanis are some experienced blade makers! Giving credit where it is due!
I liked it so much I got all three the stainless, pattern welded Damascus, and the 1095 carbon steel one .......they are all awesome my favorite is the pattern welded Damascus
Glad someone said it Js When a 30 to 25 dollar bowie Does far better than a 200 dollar one People probably hate this knife becasue of how good it is With mine my buddy thought of getting one because i had one that was dogged for about a decade And How to convince him i hammered a tenpenny nail in a dry 2x4 Then choped it in half It freaked him out lol Great knife This is the knife all knives have to match up to And nost dont lol I agree the cross gaurd is great when its gone lolol
I just ordered one and I can say Im very impressed the only other budget bowie that's on the level as this and price too is the Rough Rider Black Mule Bowie
Thanks for your honest down to earth review. From someone that actually uses the knife and knows how to maintain it. I found and subscribed your channel looking for reviews on this knife. I'm glad I did. I plan on checking out your other videos and look forward to your new ones. Thanks again and have a great day brother. I just purchased the knife. It will be here by this weekend.
Bro that's a badass knife, I want one when I get paid, I've bought a few knives from smokey mountain, I'm going to look when I finish your video, keep up the great work 👍
It has replaced my other knives and they werent cheap. If you know 7cr steel then its a tank. She flex where carbon snaps. Edge retention is fine for large knife applications keep a small Skinner super sharp for the proper task. Timber rattler is how a knife should be made and sold. Not a bunch of advertising and tatical sells etc. Just a beast from Pakistan for the proper cost. Cold steel used to cut it but they went china joe on us.
I've never seen a feather stick like that even with a mora knife. This was my first Bowie knife many years ago. After that I bought some others from K Bar and Esee but this beats all. It looks much better without the guard. If they sold it like that they would probably sell more. I put the leather sheath inside of a canvas machete sheath from Rothco, the one with pockets. Makes it easy to carry. People in Pakistan have been making knives for thousands of years, they know what they're doing. Years ago I heard a review from someone in South America and they used them down there.
It's like my Muela Jabalí 21, but on steroids , i lost it's handle wooden scales but i wrapped some rubber strip around the steel handles to grip It... And it's one of my go to Anywhere knife...🥰
Great review Bear! I got one today and surprised on how heavy it was, and how it looks in person. Not bad for a budget Bowie. Definitely will buy another!
@@bearcurtis9133 I agree 100%. I think I might take the brass guard off, maybe even wrap the handle like you did. One think I got to do is sharpen the blade. They gave it a rough grind from the factory, but that is fixable. 💪
I agree. It's a really good knife. I have 2 of them and I have yet to see one fail. I like your sheath, I was thinking of doing something similar with my sheath on one. This is a must--have knife for any knife enthusiast/collector/outdoorsman I just wish that the cutting edge would go all the way down to the choil, seems like quite a bit of wasted space having a ricasso over the choil. Oh well, maybe one day I could mod it If I could ever get around to it.
I got me one the other day and you are right it's a very heavy blade well worth the money and it's 2 years later and now 35 bucks on Amazon but I just paid 4.35 a gallon for gas today so I'll say it's cheap at 35
i just watched a vid of the guys making them in Pakistan, it's a bare bones manufacturering process there's no glue or plastics used in any structural components the wood and the steel is sourced locally the entire knife gets heat treated not just the edge ,its just grinding stones and elbow grease , i own one its still brand new, one day I'll take it bush,
I like mine very much. Can't say much about the edge from the factory except HORRIBLE. I used a file to get it to where I could work it with diamond steel, and Arkansas stones. It's almost razor sharp right now.
I am quite happy with mine Of course with some modifications , special handle design, cross guard, and putting a fine edge on the blade. Always in my main backpack. I will etch and engrave it eventually. As for a Dueling Weapon, No Problem!! However because it is such a very special and beautiful knife it is looked at as a valuable price of Art with Perfect Deadlines about it. It was taken apart , shipped to and then from Dara where it was modified into what it is now!! It has it's own story, it's own unique history. It is my survival tool and primary weapon!! It did not come with a cheap price!. Nicely Done Video!! A Person can learn the Durability factors about that specific model of Bowie Knife, putting it through Hell, which by the way I hope mine didn't come from there, sometimes I wonder?. Around the campfire in does look impressive, I tell the guys it's my pocket knife.
It looks way better without the hand guard,looks nice I have several bodies my favorite is 18" long total length I'm going to remove the guard now that I see how it looks
I just watched your video again, and thought you might like the Rough Rider Coffin handled Bowie. It's about the same overall length as the TR, but has no cross guard. Not quite as heavy as the TR. I really love mine. The only drawback I see is the sheath isn't as nice as the TR.
If you don't have a Western Outlaw Bowie ,you should look at get one or two ,and as for the Sinful Bowie it's a fun knife for bottle cut ,but the Outlaw Bowie lives up to it's name.
Yes, I agree with Bear that this Timber Rattler Bowie is a great knife. I give a 5 out of a five. Great knife for camping and great for defense if ever needed.

Hoss, you actually look like a genuine 1800's mountain man, one who really uses his equipment. I appreciate the review.
I was thinking the same damn thing lmao.
I liked it so much I got all three the stainless, pattern welded Damascus, and the 1095 carbon steel one .......they are all awesome my favorite is the pattern welded Damascus
Glad someone said it
Js
When a 30 to 25 dollar bowie
Does far better than a 200 dollar one
People probably hate this knife becasue of how good it is
With mine my buddy thought of getting one because i had one that was dogged for about a decade
And
How to convince him i hammered a tenpenny nail in a dry 2x4
Then choped it in half
It freaked him out lol
Great knife
This is the knife all knives have to match up to
And nost dont lol
I agree the cross gaurd is great when its gone lolol
I have that knife, love it. Wrapped my handle in paracord, dressed up my sheath a bit too, knife is a beast. Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Hi sir how are you i am new on youtube visit my channel i am a maker of knives
I just ordered one and I can say Im very impressed the only other budget bowie that's on the level as this and price too is the Rough Rider Black Mule Bowie
I WAS already in the process of getting my own , you re-affirmed why I am making that purchase
R.I.P brother you will be missed 😢

Bro that's a badass knife, I want one when I get paid, I've bought a few knives from smokey mountain, I'm going to look when I finish your video, keep up the great work 👍
Good review, I'm gonna buy one. Subbed
I just ordered one and found out today, July 8th 2022, that it is sitting in my mailbox. Can't wait get home and check that beast out.
Looks Awesome Both Knife And The Sheath.
I just purchased me a bowie knife to start carrying, and those timber rattler knives are almost $40 now on eBay
Now that is how it should look and cut ,still one of the best Bowie Knives on the market.
Bad Moe Foe of a Blade.
power play 4 real lol agreed

This is a great video.
You should make another video of you using this bowie for your Bushcrafting.

You sold me on this one bro. I wouldn't touch anything but Bucks before but I've always loved the look of these and I'm going to give it a try.
There well worth the money bro
I’d have to agree on the no guard look - nice review, I’m sold and headed off to buy!
Well worth the money
It's like my Muela Jabalí 21, but on steroids , i lost it's handle wooden scales but i wrapped some rubber strip around the steel handles to grip It... And it's one of my go to Anywhere knife...🥰
If bear tells you to get a blade. You get the blade.
Looks pretty badass without that gaurd. Thinking about maybe popping' the one off of mine! Gives it a completely different look...
Hi sir how are you i am new on youtube visit my channel i am a maker of knives
Great review Bear! I got one today and surprised on how heavy it was, and how it looks in person. Not bad for a budget Bowie. Definitely will buy another!
Have never had any complaints with mine lol it’ll do you good there good blades thanks for watching my vid
@@bearcurtis9133 I agree 100%. I think I might take the brass guard off, maybe even wrap the handle like you did. One think I got to do is sharpen the blade. They gave it a rough grind from the factory, but that is fixable. 💪
@@FabulosoSpray yeah the factory edge is never perfect but once fixed it’ll hold a nasty edge
Hi sir how are you i am new on youtube visit my channel i am a maker of knives
Looks awesome without the crossguards Nice job on the handle!
I agree. It's a really good knife. I have 2 of them and I have yet to see one fail. I like your sheath, I was thinking of doing something similar with my sheath on one.

How did you get that cross guard off?
Like the handle wrap how you do that
I got me one the other day and you are right it's a very heavy blade well worth the money and it's 2 years later and now 35 bucks on Amazon but I just paid 4.35 a gallon for gas today so I'll say it's cheap at 35
Lol facts
Yes I bought one about 13 years ago. Still new in box. Sheath sucks but the blade was worth every penny
i just watched a vid of the guys making them in Pakistan, it's a bare bones manufacturering process there's no glue or plastics used in any structural components the wood and the steel is sourced locally the entire knife gets heat treated not just the edge ,its just grinding stones and elbow grease , i own one its still brand new, one day I'll take it bush,
I like mine very much.
Can't say much about the edge from the factory except HORRIBLE.
I used a file to get it to where I could work it with diamond steel, and Arkansas stones. It's almost razor sharp right now.
Love it looks good without crossguards from uk😮😮
Wow!, that's a knife. I've been on should I? Shouldn't buy now I'm convinced getting me one, thanks for the show bud..nice camping 👍👍
I am quite happy with mine
Of course with some modifications , special handle design, cross guard, and putting a fine edge on the blade. Always in my main backpack. I will etch and engrave it eventually.

It has it's own story, it's own unique history.
It is my survival tool and primary weapon!!
It did not come with a cheap price!.
Nicely Done Video!!

Hi sir how are you i am new on youtube visit my channel i am a maker of knives
impressive gadget - have u ever tried the historical sax form of blades ?
What kind of leather did you use to wrap the handle ?
Do you use a stone to sharpen your blade?
It's Sailor from that movie Uncommon Valor. Dude!!! Where you been?!
Que mejoras le hiciste al cuchillo
Which model? There's a heap of them.
It looks way better without the hand guard,looks nice I have several bodies my favorite is 18" long total length I'm going to remove the guard now that I see how it looks
I personally like the way it handles without the guard
Were can you order them people show them but not how to get one

Will have to give it a look
@@bearcurtis9133 Product # RR1643
Gota love a good blade
Is an great bowie with rednec modificacion!! 😂😂
What you think about the timber rattler sinful spiked bowie knife?
BabyGravy ain’t had the pleasure of handling one yet
It doesn't compare too the
Western Outlaw Bowie by
Timber Rattler.
If you don't have a
Western Outlaw Bowie ,you should look at get one or two ,and as for the
Sinful Bowie it's a fun knife for bottle cut ,but the Outlaw Bowie lives up to it's name.
@@powerplay4real174 thanks I'll take that into consideration
Is it a full tang not a rat tang ⁉️
Damn you look like a viking that's cool
Can't be beat for the money!
That’s a fact
I want one
I came here from Amazon thinking how ridiculous and now I’m thinking i fuckin need one.
I.have.one.too.

You’ve got my sub, beast of a knife, How do you sharpen your knives?
