Bear & Son Durable Gold Rush Bowie Knife – 14.75" Full Tang Fixed Blade with Sandvik 12C27M Stainless Steel, Cocobolo Wood Handle, Brass Guard & Leather Sheath for Hunting, Survival & Outdoor Use

This is an excellent Bowie knife, styled on the classic Western pattern, at a very reasonable price. Best of all, it's 100% made in the USA. You can find cheaper Bowies, some much cheaper, but made overseas. This Bowie is beautiful, well fit, and very sharp, right out of the box. My only complaint is the sheath. While very well made it is a little tight or short. I own several Bowies and, in my opinion, if you're looking for a classic Bowie this is the best bargain for the money.

Sharp? YES! Worth it? YEEEEESSSSS!!!! I got this knife for no other reason than i was playing RDR2 and i wanted a western style bowie. Knife is well balanced, fits nicely in the hand, and sharp out of the box (although i recommend giving any blade a touch up out of the box). Only thing i can complain about is the crossguard is ever so slightly loose but oh well. It was bound to get loose if you planned on using it as a real bushcraft knife, can’t really complain about a crossguard being a tiny bit loose when the rest of the knife is spectacular!

This is a heirloom quality knife for a really good price. It’s hefty yet nicely balanced, and hair-cutting sharp out of the box. Despite a few minor scratches on the blade and some blemishes on the leather sheath, the craftsmanship is impressive. Haven’t got to use it yet, but I can tell this knife not only looks nice, it’s functional as well. I bought a similar, yet more expensive western style bowie knife from a “famous” knife maker, but it was just a Chinese manufactured showpiece. This knife is the real deal and would make an excellent gift.

This is an excellent utility/fighting knife. I chose this knife because it is made in the USA and I prefer a 9-9.5 inch blade. Ten inch and longer are a little unwieldy for me. They feel more like a machete than a knife. I do have a couple of those. The Bear & Son is a quality field Bowie and was razor sharp out of the box. The hand guard had a very slight bit of play. That bothers some people and I am one of those. I never considered returning it. I am told it is common in this style knife whatever the brand. I taped it off and used a plastic tooth pick to get some Gorilla Glue in there and it is now solid as a rock. Later, to be sure, I cut off a small piece of Mighty Putty and forced it into the spaces around the hand guard. I am a lot happier with this knife than a Pakistan bowie. Glad to support. USA company. I would buy it again.

Awesome knife! I purchased this knife to actually use it. I use knives quite often and this one has been used pretty well for the past week. I've harvested Sugar Cane with it, chopped brush and pruned bushes, and have used it for chopping down Mexican Sunflower, Elephant Grass, and Vetiver Grass for chop-and-drop for our fruit trees. Very sharp edge on the knife and holds the edge very well. Chops through cane like butter. The leather dangler shealth is pretty decent as well. I do wish the leather was thicker, but it works. Overall, I am happy with this knife and it has been working out well in the garden. Looks good on the belt too. People get a little weird at times when they see it hanging off my waist, and wonder why I have a knife this large. Whatever, if you mind your own business, you'll always be busy. Just buy it, wear it, use it, and enjoy it.

Good quality bowie. Used it for cutting some saplings while camping. Versatile and made in USA.

IM SO PROUD TO OWN THIS 🇺🇸 MADE WORK OF ART Wow I'm so impressed with Bear & Sons !!! Absolutely stunning craftmanship !!! Bear & Sons Gold Rush Bowie knife is a heirloom Knife that you will pass down for generations. This knife has BEAUTIFUL Cocobolo wood scales and the Sandvik 12C27M Stainless Steel is AWESOME it holds a very good edge. The blade is very close to Buck knives heat treatment. This Bowie knife is balanced PERFECTLY its not to heavy not to light. The hand guard is perfect and tight. Feels so good in the hand. The sheath is very nice leather. Sheath came oiled & fits like a glove. Regular mink oil treatment will keep it waterproofed and lasting for a long long time. I 1000% recommend Bear & Sons cutlery.

I bought one these knives while living in Montana carried it in Glacier Park for a while for grizzly bear defense before it became legal to carry a gun. I used this knife to skin hundreds of trees for building log fence and corrals and never broke down or the blade chip rarely needed to sharpen it. I also used other brands of Jim Bowies for the same work and they broke down the blades chipped no comparison. This the toughest made knife I have ever owned and deserves the title of the legendary Jim Bowie Knife! I gave it to my son because he bravely chased off a black bear with it when he was eight years old. Years later having moved to Alaska wanted to buy another one and was very happy to find it for sale on Amazon.

Ein Stern bekommt die Schärfe,da gibt es nichts zu bemäkeln.Ein Stern die Lederscheide,die ist ok.Das war das Positive.Unter Made in USA habe ich mir mehr vorgestellt.Ich habe über 130 Messer bis hin zu 1000 Euro und glaube mir ein Urteil erlauben zu können.Also,erstmal ist die Scheide 1cm zu kurz,Messer passt nicht rein.Die Messing Parierstange ist belaufen und hat Flecke.Die Messingpins der Griffschalen stehen über und die Griffschalen sind nicht bündig mit dem Stahl.Selbst asiatische Messer,speziell aus Taiwan und China sind um Längen besser verarbeitet und wesentlich günstiger,siehe Cold Steel. Selbst für die Hälfte des Preises hätte ich das Messer nicht behalten.Also ich kann wirklich keine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen!
