W-Catcher Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath - Large Hunting-Knife made of D2 steel - Big Fixed Blade Knives with Non-Slip TPE Handle - Full Tang Survivalknife for Outdoor Activities

Very well built and durable

This looks very much like the improve Applegate Fairbairn Smatchet. But at a reasonable price. It’s big and has a front heavy balance. The handle is large enough for a secure grip. Unlike the originals the handle is polymer. And so is the sheath (instead of leather. The knife also looks like a shrunk Roman Gladius. I bought it mainly because it looks like a Smatchet. For heavy duty, I prefer the Cold Steel Recon Scout or Trail Master.But this knife is good to go. Should make a good camp knife

Unlike the unlucky ones, my sow catcher knife is perfectly sharp from heel to point on BOTH sides. When I researched pommels and hilts I discovered the fuller (misnamed the blood groove) has the express purpose of adding strength to the bladeMy worry is the handle. If I were to use this with force on an attacking feral hog or any other predator, I could conceivably jab bones that prevent an easy release. The hild offers minimal protection against my hand sliding down the blade. The handle very slightly gets bigger toward the butt of the knife. It may be hard to extricate from my target. Currently, I am searching for an after market pommel which fits this knife. Other than the deficiencies in the handle, the knife is a work of art!

Love the sword can't say anything else

I won’t say how many of these I have purchased more than two. The Supercar of throwing knives I’ve been searching for. Crazily tough thin tip. The steel is amazing.

Sowcatcher reminds me of a gladiolus for the modern enthusiasts. Great construction with D2 tool steel. Grind angles all symmetrical with a nice finish. I got the silver blade black handle. Someone wrote their scabbard was messed up because one side has a small rivet. In actuality that's how the perfect retention is accomplished. One side must spread for insertion and withdrawal of the knife.

A fine weapon. Well balanced for both slashing and stabbing, it appears to be well made. It should come a bit sharper than it did, but the edge is adequate as is. The sheath (in contrast to those of some other fine knives) is as good as the knife. Unlike many Kydex-type sheaths, it has a sturdy nylon belt loop allowing it to be hung comfortably. The sheath holds the knife securely, but doesn't "strangle" it, allowing a quick and smooth draw. An interesting sheath feature is that the retention strap has a female snap cup on both sides, allowing the strap to be folded and snapped to itself underneath the hilt, allowing for a faster draw. Although it can perform some "survival" tasks it isn't designed to be a "camp" knife of use for skinning, butchering, whittling, or batoning. Since use as a weapon is its primary function, I'd like to see it as a true short sword with a 12-15" blade---which I think would sell very well, even with the necessary price increase.It's reasonably priced for what you get, and those who buy it strictly as a weapon (or conversation piece) will not be disappointed. Note: A number of jurisdictions---even some with lenient gun laws---ban the carry of double edged knives. The same company makes the same knife with a more tapered, single edged blade; which I have also purchased, and like for the same reasons. Though also not really designed as a camp knife, it would definitely be more functional in that regard. This one also came a bit sharper, and resembles a bayonet blade. Most closely, that of the Lee Enfield Mark III, minus about 4".

Not sure why I purchased this knife but I like it. It is pretty big, and came sharp. Honestly, I haven’t used it for much of anything but I will occasionally strap it to my belt and walk around the house until my wife rolls her eyes at me. Then I’ll go outside and throw it at a tree, chop some weeds or a bush, check the area for any bears that are looking for a fight, build a fire, drink some bourbon and then call it a day.
