Hello all,

This is my first review of my Custom AK Bowie from Himalayan Imports.

First off, this is a bad-ass monster knife. I took it on a day hike over the weekend and purposely went off the beaten path. I hacked my way through a few hundred yards of bush and low branches. Then I came upon a dead tree stump on the ground and started chopping to see how the AK Bowie would fair. The heaftiness was superb and chunks were flying off at every strike. The dead stump was at least more than 1 foot in diameter, so I didn't bother trying to chop all the way through. But I'm sure the bowie would have gone through it, but it was getting dark so I headed back.

All in all, the AK Bowie lives up to its reputation. Great chopper and not as heavy as I thought it would be. Luckily, I was wearing mechanic's gloves or the vibration from the handle would have made it challenging to really swing down hard on the stump. Anyway, below are the link to the pictures.

this is one of the sweetest knives imo

mine should be in today. hehehe

may i ask what is custom on yours?
 
To yak23flora: I believe the handle material is horn, but I'm not 100% sure. But it fits my right and left hand nicely, because I'll sometimes go ambidextrous.

To bladeright: The custom work I had done, was I requested the knife without the cho. If you look closely at the picture, you'll notice that it has no cho. I also ordered another the other day, which has a straight spine, no cho, and the thickness of the full tang will be the same thickness of the bladespine as well.

I'll post pictures when I receive it in about 4-6 weeks.
 
very nice looking knife! and heres some IMG/IMG added
