Big, heavy and well crafted.
Ok., I ordered this to add to my collection. Came within a few days which I was surprised to see. Authentic? Yes. It even had grass trimmings on the lubricant oil on the blade. Very sharp and very thick. I think one could probably disappear into the Bush with this alone and a sharpening stone and there is enough steal to last twenty years cutting trees. Heavy and with a handle for larger hands. With that being said, this one isn’t for combat but as a survival tool would suffice as well as a good ax.Should have waited. Price dropped drastically. Where only one was left before, another 14 appeared. Wait until the seller drops the price. Nearly paid triple what it was worth.

Badass knife.
If you do buy one of these do not get the larger on. 10’ to 12’ is plenty. These are not light weight knives. And the holster is made for very tough and heavy hide.
