I have a Timber Rattler TR59 Surgical Steel made in Pakistan. It's a traditional Bowie style blade (although it doesn't appear to be a full tang blade), no blood groove, the handguard and pommel(?) are silver in color and the handle alternates with black, white, red, white plastic followed by a dark, charcoal colored wood, then repeats the same plastic pattern. I've tried to research the model or "style" but can't seem to come up with a match. From what I've read, I understand it's not a very formidable knife, I just want it for display but I'd like to know what to call it! Thanks for any help!

You already named it in the first sentence.

You didn't include a pic so I'm going to have to guess.
I think what I would call it is,"Timber Rattler TR59". Really hard to guess this without a pic however I am attempting a little clairevoyance and figure what the heck. Anyway for not seeing the pic I was able to come up with a great name for it.
 
I can't figure out how to post a pic of it... I'm a noob, remember? All I was getting at was some of the other names I saw were like "Timber Rattler Ranchero" or "Timber Rattler Jungle Fury" I know there's probably a million versions from a million manufactures, and being that it's a "knock-off" of sorts I'm certain no two are alike! Thanks for the replies though, and a good laugh! I'd be happy to post a picture, if I have that clearance level and some one to give me a few instructions that is. Thanks again!
 
Timber Rattler (and Timber Wolf) is a BudK brand. Might check their site or shoot them an email with a link to the picture to see if there's a different name for that knife beyond the marked model number. A lot of times, these kind of knives can also be found from other companies with different names as they're just imports being picked from a catalog rather than something the company selling them designed. I've seen some of the similar BudK stuff sold under Boker's low end brand for example.

Whatever this is, it's what he has and wants a name for it...

It's no longer listed on their website, and I can't find any of their crappy catalogs around to tell you the name.
I feel like they called it the ol smokey hunter or something.
 
Ok ok... I'm good now! Thank you all for your input. I do appreciate your time. Next time I'll try and bring something a little more exciting to the table! And I'll figure out how to post pictures too, that should make things a lot easier for everyone. Thank you!
 
In the interest of moving this along for anyone following, here's the pic he was tryin' to post . My comment to the op, other than bein' a paperweight I see it as a terrible example of the cutlers art, actually it's an insult to cutlers and the industry. What is the second choil for? Looks like it was a blade blanked that was too long in the handle or designed so they could put a bigger handle on it. Could it be a scraper for a fire starter? Doubtful, so here's the pic and if the op is lookin' for help at least he has his pic up.

Anyone? :)
