Read some rave reviews on this blade while doing a little shopping.. does anyone own one?? Good stuff??
 
Super heavy blade, super wonky sheath. The knife itself is pretty cool but the sheath kills it for me.
 
I can live with a bad sheath or even make my own if it's bad enough...just concerned with the knife itself.

I really love mine. Takes and holds a very decent edge, even with pretty rough use.
Here are some pics of a recent workout with my Marine Raider Bowie:
I chopped about 30+ chunks off a seasoned limb, and then baton split a nice chunk of oak into more usable sections. And did a before and after paper cutting.

I got rid of mine because a buddy of mine needed it and mine has been replaced by an SP8. It's a great knife, especially for the price. I don't think you can beat the performance and quality for that price, honestly. Great blade!
