This Hen & Rooster rubber handle bowie is just excellent, The build quality is superb, the sheath is also top notch quality black leather and fits the knife like a glove ,which shows the quality in manufacture . The 4-1/2 inch 440 stainless steel blade will give you protection in the city urban life and in the outdoors this knife will skin game gut fish with ease. It is full tang with a 3/16 inch thick blade from the middle of the blade to the end tab on the handle for the lanyard. The end tab can function as a glass breaker in a car emergency situation as well as preventing you from losing your knife in bad weather when wet. The rubber grip is very comfortable and non slip even in the rain or snow . This knife is very sharp out of the box and will slice through anything from game animals to fish and other food prep as well as self defense situations. The quality of this knife is as good as knives costing $$$ or more it will also throw sparks from a fire rod in the outdoors for camping and in a survival situation . The balance and fit of the knife is just excellent, it feels so comfortable in the hands and a great design. This knife is a great deal for the price for the high quality and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fixed blade knife.
