stuck between this or the ka bar kukri. Mainly will be using for camping, so getting firewood and things of the like. Which would be better for my application?
hi there, i have had thoughts about this knife and the marine raider (i read the previous comment about these two knives) but i was wondering how they perform when it comes to chopping and splitting. i was wondering under what circumstances you would choose one over the other
If you were in really any circumstance the heavy bowie would be a better choice. While the marine raider is heavier it is just too broad of an edge for continued cutting. If you want a knife that will perform everytime in every circumstance then the heavy bowie is the best choice.
@mrmkowals2 of course you can find cheap knives as well but Chinese and Japanese know blades and for much longer than Americans. They have been making knives and swords for centuries so that is where the logic is.I never talked about pricing...
I've been considering buying a big survival knife for quite a while, and my choice has come down to either this or the marine raider. Which one is better in your opinion?
I would say the Heavy Bowie is better. It is a better all around knife because it is lighter and it hasa MUCH better edge on it. The Marine Raider is heavier and bigger but has a broad edge on it so it isnt very sharp. Hope I helped.
you should stop saying "you digg it" thats nutnfancy's phrase and you should mabe try a different/more secure not on the tip on the sheath. not trying to nock you down.
first you said the quality was lower than U.S. then you said the quality is the same. I would say the knife is exactly as they want it to be but they save money (and put americans out of work) by having it made in Taiwan.
@Whisper6911 these politicians are ushered in by bankers so voting is a non-issue. Does all this reflect our stupidity? Yes, it does, but these psychos plan their control moves decades in advance--they are very stealthy, evil people and we are NOT evil. We are too trusting, in fact, so we don't see it until its too late. :-(
@Whisper6911 America was engineered by Britain to do exactly what it has done--bulid a giant military. America is one big pawn in more british empire-buiilding. We've all been duped.
@ PlainAverageRob appearantly you aren't because your bitching about him talking about the sheath.

Best knives are made in China (everything else is cheap but knives and blades are great) and not the US. SORRY DUDE! Besides that GREAT review.

@shtfprepared where is the logic in that? everything else is cheap, but for some reason they decide to make top notch knives for little money?

@TadRapidly well to be fair this shit started way way longer then that.
some blame Darwin, some blame Spinoza some Plato.
personally i blame the rise of monotheism about 5000 years ago
as for american culture, my pet peeve is not so much with its failings,
as with its obnoxiously verbose denial.
especially patriotism. people celebrating their mental bondage just gets to me sometimes.

@TadRapidly i don't think the problem is that you are too trusting though.
i think what happened is that commerce and politics and all sorts of people with
agendas have confused the hell out of people and now they cant understand where their fears are coming from.
and that leaves the door wide open for anyone who does understand to manipulate those fears so as to manipulate behavior.
and since there is no unity among the manipulators people are
pulled in 1000 directions at once.

@Whisper6911 Totally. Creating confusion is job-#1 with these globalist a-holes. Our entire culture is poisoned with deceit.
