Brother that is Sick!!!! Thank you so much for the GAW! I HONESTLY AM HUMBLED BY ALL YOUR SUPPORT! We have the Greatest community and family on TH-cam!!!! NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR YOU MY BROTHER!!!!
Very cool gaw! I like that you review both higher end knives, as well as budget bargains. So far, I've just been showing more higher end knives on my channel, but I need to add some more affordable to anyone budget blades too. Not everyone can, or is willing to buy $300 Bark Rivers lol. Not that I'm trying to get anyone to buy anything, but I'm sure people would like to see more lower cost blades too, and there's damn sure nothing wrong with that.I do like the look of that blade! I'm a huge Bowie fan.
I have the Ridge Runner Bowie. Awesome budget knife. Sheath does suck. I’m glad someone finally reviewed. Thanks Donnie, you rock. The giveaway you are gonna do is awesome! I’m in.
I got this before I saw this video. Haven’t done much work on it, but from your review I’m happy to say it’ll be reliable for a good while. Glad I got mine! Thanks D!
Excellent video, Donnie. I have one and was impressed with the edge. Another low cost bowie you might want to feature is the Frost Cutlery Quicksilver Bowie FQS578. Just bought one, and it's stronger and sharper than I expected.
Not a bad budget Bowie. It did good. Would like an update if you find out what that rattle is an update would be great. That helmet is absolutely Badass. I wonder how many wrecks it caused by people starring and rubber necking to see it longer. I assumeyouhavetheentire suit of armor. Always thought that would be awesome to own just couldn't justify the expense. Wow that would require getting something from Cold Steel to go with it. Absolutely great item. Would love to win that you are definitely Dbad for Donnie bad ass then Donnie be all day.
Question will you say all the Ridge Runner blades are full tang? There is a certain one I am thinking of getting which is the toothpick knife off of Ebay.
Thanks for the review Donnie "First Try" ... I do like my Ridge Runner blades! RR681 Renegade was my first big knife ... 15.5" long, 1-7/8" belly, 3.75mm thick, 16.7oz, very sharp, useable finger choil, Aug'2020 $14.98+tax eBay. Full tang, see "Fit 4 Knives" scales off epoxy repair. Just got RR690 Whitetail Ridge (aka Pronghorn Peak) ... 12.3" long, 1-1/2" belly, 3.7mm thick, 12.6oz with comfortable staglon grip, Mar'2022 $17.99+tax amazon.
I sold my Honda vtx 1800 and bought a Harley Heritage softail. I absolutely love the Harley but no new high dollar knives for awhile I've been buying stuff for my Harley and maybe I can buy a few budget bowies though like this one
@@DonnieBAllDay Absolutely I found a 1997 Heritage with only 13,000 miles on it custom paint pearl white with silver ghost flames I love this motorcycle .
@@DonnieBAllDay I'm done riding metrics from now on I've been riding over 40 years the sound of my carbed Harley I've never experienced anything close to it its like a good .... Fill in the blank I can't and keep it PG. LOL
Now as I see this helmet I have to have it !!, imagine me riding on my chair with this helmet 🤪and I swear to god I would do it !! Great review brother as allways, stay save, love you brother ❤️
PS: as few minutes ago I finally dropped enough dimes on my first, possibly of many, Kukri House orders I went with the basic Nepalese Army model for starters, I hope mentioning that I know you doesn't make the price go up.
The helmet is too cool as somebody is going to be really happy with that GAW.....Nice budget blade that held up well but that was a weird rattling in there....Good stuff....
@@DonnieBAllDay really? That’s crazy cool. I still have my gaming books for AD&D Gary Gygax was the man, and apparently you too,lol. Thanks for your part it in. I’ve played for years
@@samuraibyrd My change came in the "men". The original board game pieces sucked so I let them know and they changed it to my idea. My mothers job at the time got us into a special event where they introduced the prototype. We played and they asked what we thought of it. Everyone kissed their asses but me. My mother started to apologize and they stopped her. They sais it's what they needed to hear. They liked my idea and used it. A proud dbad moment.
That head piece is so freaking COOL! Cut, Split then Rattle LOL But, like you said budget Bowie you get what you pay for. Who knows, maybe just pinging the pins will eliminate the rattling within the scales.
Well, you've certainly had more luck with this pos knife than I've had. I just bought the last one available from a seller on Australian ebay at an exorbitant price and it failed a light test chop on green branches (I'd seen your vid before buying and got an idea of what its limitations may be )... anyway it performed well for a couple of chops and then several big deformations in the hollow grind section of blade appeared after only a few chops. It's so far below the performance you had from it that I wondered if was some kind of second or fake (just a bad heat treat or even missed heat treat probably, seller claims it wasn't some kind of second and nobody else has had issues...) I THOUGHT the edge I had to put on it went on pretty easily too, a bit too easily... soft and weak steal and a real poopy knife buying experience all round.
Yeah it was definitely not up to snuff, no poops given from the seller either, haha... oh well, such is life :-) Perfect excuse to treat myself to a new knife... 🙂Going to give Cudeman a go👍@@DonnieBAllDay
Amazing story: I actually managed to snap a Ridge Runner Peruvian's blade clean off at the handle junction, bought from same seller... I was chopping treated pine 2 x 4 with that one though, haha... the edge held up fine!! snapped at the weak point on the handle, obvious stress point. VERY small tang on the Peruvian, as in not wide. I'll accept most of the blame for that one...😊
It will be a good knife for the Zombies apocalypse, paired up with a nice armoured helmet esp; if there after "brains" the Zombies from the pickled barrel type, could also try and give the pins a bit a pinch with a punch and hammer a lite rap against a hardened surface, see if it can compress a few thousands of an inch onto the tang tighter. Have fun kids:)
I think I’m going to end up buying what are your D boy preachers. But I bought too many Extracurriculars this month again I bought about three worksharp different sharpener’s A case copper lock captain America citizen watch another citizen marvel watch a few more blades and some work related itemsBut I need a bad ass chopper knife I think it’s going to be the D bad preacher from Nepal
If she could see through the fence, I don't think she would sing. She would have closed the windows,locked the car and she would think for a while if it was a good idea or not, to call the police...to protect her from the maniac killer with that really large knife, who was practising his death skills on the trees!!! lol
As far as that Tang being a Full Tang with the Chinese made knives you just never know for sure some time unless you can remove those scales. They just can't be trusted unfortunately.🤔
Lipstick on the pig. If the Army issued cheap knives we would each have one but since they are fussy about specs and quality we don't. I have a drawer full of cheap stuff and will soon be offering some of it on ebay.
@@DonnieBAllDay I just put 5 on ebay still in the box and know I have more It ain't a bad collection for a starter or reseller with a store. Not the first time I separated the wheat from the chaff.

@@DonnieBAllDay likewise my brother!!
Thanks for the review, I just ordered one!
definitely
Thanks buddy, it’s about time a cheaper blade had a sensible review. Keep them coming 😎🐸👍.
Much appreciated
The rattle in the handle would make me nuts,the scales would have to come off just so I could find out. Lol
It will be happening
Very cool gaw!

Treat it right and it will respond
From the looks of it, it seems to be a decent budget bowie
If treated right it will last
Cool helmet and seems like a pretty decent bowie are you going to make a follow up of dissecting those scales?
I will
@@DonnieBAllDay cool looking forward to that
Excellent video, Donnie. I have one and was impressed with the edge. Another low cost bowie you might want to feature is the Frost Cutlery Quicksilver Bowie FQS578. Just bought one, and it's stronger and sharper than I expected.
I had some but gifted them away
Someone busted the handle off of one of these and it is a genuine full tang
well thats a plus
That helmet is savage. I dig how it opens up for us big head dudes!
Great design
Not a bad budget Bowie. It did good. Would like an update if you find out what that rattle is an update would be great.

That helmet is way cool. Good video good review. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Hard to give it away
Bought one a while back because it was only 15 bucks, didn’t expect it to do that well lol
Some of their stuff is good, some is just plain bad
Hey man you're freaking cool I love that helmet and that freaking knife that Bowie knife looks like a killer
much appreciated good brother

Awesome review my brother; it sounds like a love hate relationship with that knife ; but I am sure you can make that knife to be loved lol.
I'm thinking a re-do is in the future
The Ridge Runner is 440 stainless steel. That's the only info I could find out about it.
I believe it's 440
Doing wild stuff in a medieval helmet is fun 😆
The best part is cruising down the highway and every little bump sends you temporarily blind! haha
Very impressive!
Budget surprises
That head piece is so freaking COOL! Cut, Split then Rattle LOL But, like you said budget Bowie you get what you pay for. Who knows, maybe just pinging the pins will eliminate the rattling within the scales.
I think I might rescale it
Looks like a good blade but be nice if they spent a few more dollars on the sheath. Great review as always there Dbad.
Agreed
