Cold Steel's Black Bear Bowie is an excellent value. It arrived with flat spots on the edge, so was not as sharp as it should have been. A few minutes with a file & a diamond rod had it shaving hair off my arm. The blade was perfectly straight & grinds were cleanly executed. The handle is comfortable & fits the hand nicely. Blade stock is thin (it is more of a machete than a knife), but doesn't have much flex & it is lively in the hand. I spent some time cutting water-filled bottles & the Black Bear Bowie performed quite well. The sheath is adequate. This would be an excellent camp knife or survival blade in my opinion. Highly recommended!

I like the look & feel of the knife. For the low price the quality can't be beat. This is a great project knife to remove grind marks, re-bevel blade, add micro bevel & hone. I enjoy the challenge.

For the $ its a good deal! Wish it were full tang, not sure it would hold up to heavy chopping!
