I haven't had this very long, but I can already say that it's quality. There are details in knife making that normally get missed by cheaper brands. The Bow River gets them. Things are smooth and rounded with nothing sticking out to create a hot spot. The back side of the blade is smoothed but would prolly still work with a ferrell rod. One detail that kinda surprised me they nailed was how even they got the edge grind (it's every bit as even as my Benchmade Griptillian). I'm familiar with Spyderco's 8cr13mov and actually kind of like it. It doesn't hold an edge like S30V or D2 but it takes a decent edge. Spyderco has some of the best blade designs; I haven't ever used a knife that slices as well as a Spyderco. If you are looking for a food prep knife (like me) I would highly recommend this knife. If you are looking for a hard use camp knife then I'd recommend an Ontario Knife Company Rat model 3 or 5, an Essee of some variety, or one of Mora's offerings.Read full review

Purchased as a "camp knife" for 20 year old daughter. My only complaint is the sheath. Although very good quality leather and well made, it's very snug and will only receive the knife in one position. An insert would have been appropriate and helpful. The sheath will be fine AFTER a gentle, slow break-in period....which isn't necessarily in this 20 year old's wheel house. Time will tell but do like the knife itself for the intended purpose.

A splendid fixed blade knife by Spyderco. A result of Phil Wilson collaboration is the Bow River. This knife is an incredible value. Handles are beautiful. The blade is ground and finished quite admirably. This is a top 10 excellent knife buy especially considering the price point and the Spyderco name. Not sure how many of these Spyderco will decide to produce, but I suspect these will sell out quite quickly!

Great price for a Spyderco. Beautiful handle. Well made. It is comfortable to hold and use. Will make a very good camping knife.

Great Knive! Ended up in kitchen, use to slice all kids of food. Works great on meats, cut up ribs yesterday with ease because of blade design!
