Rancho Roy Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I received an email from "Kennesaw Cutlery" the other day and they were having a pretty good sale. I bought the following knives for so little $$ it didn't seem they would be worth spit! Top knife is a Damascus blade "Colorado Hunter"......$62.98 Second is a "Colorado Yellow Bone Bowie".....This one cost a whooping $8.98!!!! the bottom one is a "Timber Rattler Pioneer Skinner" ......again, a wallet depleting $8.98! All came with real leather sheaths and the quality is quite amazing..............All made in Pakistan..... :-( http://images39.fotki.com/v1285/photos/2/36012/10229442/P1030158-vi.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol poke SASS 57567 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Those look like some good knives fer the gold! I bought a damascus bladed knife from Cheaper-n-dirt a while back. It had a deer antler handle. I think around $45. It was from Pakistan too. ( a month after I bought it, "The Shootist" had a picture of the same one on their magazine cover! ) Not a great piece of steel, and I need to make a better scabbard for it, but it looks real purty an' makes a decent toothpick in a pinch. ol' poke.

Deacon Will Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 http://kennesawcutlery.com/Knives/Kissing-Crane-Yellow-Bowie-Knife This would be my 'expert' pick... and possibly a true collectible of the future. Your mileage may vary. Deacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tennessee Stud, SASS# 43634 Life Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Knives greater than 7 1/2 are way, way... too long... IMHO. I got a bunch longer... but that decreases the utility value... just my opine here... if ya will. When sellin' knives... and I have sold 'bout $300k worth... the price is GENERALLY equal to the quality... AND.... the handmade time it takes to make 'em. Lately, I place a great stock in knives... 'cause mostly... I am under scrutiny of the ATF. Just my opine. ts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pay Dirt Norvelle #90056 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I went to Kennesaw's website and after reading the OP and found me a Bowie to put on my belt. It is the Timber Rattler Cocobolo Bowie. An expensive $8.98. That way if I mess it up I won't be to unhappy. The have some other more expensvie knives that look nice and I will probably order some after the Christmas expenses are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Agree that basically anything bigger than a K-bar is overkill. I actually carry a big bone handle Bear & Sons Damascus Bowie, just be cause it looks so "Hollywood Frontier". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangler Jones, SASS # 64178 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Won a Timber Rattler bowie as a door prize at a recent match. Looks real cool, bone handle. Scabbard is not the best quality. Can't offer an informed opinion regarding the quality of the steel - but probably not bad for a ten dollar knife.

Rancho Roy Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yup, these are "Costume Knives".........Nothing more, nothing less. Although I used the Damascus bladed knife to cut up some venison just for hoots and that blade is razor sharp and held the edge for the entire process. I had to modify the sheath with a strip of leather and a snap to stop it from turning upside down when on my gun belt. http://images57.fotki.com/v512/photos/2/36012/10229442/P1030192-vi.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
