ODENWOLF W-SowCatcher Fixed Blade Knife with Sheath - Large Hunting-Knife made of D2 steel - Big Fixed Blade Double Edge Knives with TPE Handle

I really like this dagger it's sold well made D2 blade come sharpened and in very good shape. The blade is balanced just below the belly and fells good my hand. An all around good knife! The only thing I didn't like was the sheath cheap plastic just like coldsteel, make a great knife but cheap sheath's. But I'd buy it again.

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".

It's not a hunting knife. kinda big for that and double sided does not allow for batoning wood to split for fire. But for defense it's awesome! big amd not too heavy. the only thing that makes no sense, is there are no instructions. heck of a box and packaging but I have no clue how the sheath is stuck up high in all the pictures. on the back pack straps etc. no sign of wire ties or the strap being used differentlythey are not using the slots on the sheath it's like magic!! double sided velcro? that would seem kinda sketchy , easy to loose the whole thing. Mayne they can suggest or include a Blade Tech style clip set up? I guess I'll have to buy something, or rivet something to sheath? really weird to show it as a duel.mounting system and even mentioning it in description. Knife is moderately sharp. I had to to finish sharpening it in order to shave hair off my arm. It would not be my first choice for a "Big Knife" for hacking my way through woods or mounting it to my pack. but it is a nice Knife. I expect that it's made in China so 67.00 is a little high I had a coupon but by the time I tried to use it , it disappeared? anyways good Knife, will know more after testing it out hunting and using etc. if anyone can contact me and tell me how it's attached "high ride" I would appreciate it. thanks

I'm impressed. Quality blade.

Sharpens up very well

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.

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

Definitely a heavy duty knife, use it when camping deep in the wilderness! All around well built!
