It's Ok
"I bought it at 38% off and for that price it is without peer. You won't be able to find a 1095 hardened steel Bowie for that little money anywhere. That said the finish left a lot to be desired. There were a lot of machining marks on the blade and pommel. I bought it is a cheap working knife and for that it fills the role admirably. You can try to work it to death, and it won't matter. The balance is acceptable, and the blade came fully sharpened and ready to work."
