Great blade

I have an Old Timer Bowie that I paid $25 for, around 5 years ago. I've used it quite a bit chopping small trees and vines around my place. For a budget option it has been great. It is pretty big, though...Still, I really like the contour of the blade. I would definitely trust it for defense.

Crazy good chopper

Yes, the Hibben Highlander most definitely is a wicked fast, sharp AF, big damn knife! Personality I think it's the swiftest blade I've ever wielded. A lightning bolt in the hand. And one that will stay in the hand as well. I own over 100 knives, I do custom work, modified clip points, mirror polish finishing, sharpening, repair, restorations... Also the Hibben Raven & especially Hibben DragonLord (OMG it's wicked) would be quite formidable home defense knives. Thanks Donnie B, great stuff as always.

Excellent video on big knives of the Bowie style. I have a few that I bought over the years. For a budget blade that would probably be effective the Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie might be good. Economical to buy, it's considered more of a machete and it comes with a good sheath. If I had to grab a big knife in an emergency, I have 2 Condor Dundee Bowie knives. I think I would grab those as a team. Thanks for sharing your big knife knowledge and for introducing me to a couple of knives I am not familiar with. All the best.

Doesn't fit in the sub 50 dollar category. Very good blade. I just hate the grip and the skinny stick tang.

In my opinion, one thing you guys need to know is that for grip, the best thing to do is to strip the varnish off and hold bare wood, but that gets very quickly dirty, so rub in a coat of tung oil or danish oil which still has the grip but keeps clean as well! Another thing, that knife that you said you weren't sure counted as a Bowie, definitely does! Everything about the shape of the blade, looks like the very original knife Resin Bowie gave to his brother Jim, and is likely the knife used at the sandbar fight! My idea of the best knife to use in a gun control area, is a bow! With arrows about as thick as a colt 45 cartridge, and a broadhead on top, that is going to really upset the planning of any scumbag!

Now, revisiting this review , especially that you mention that "somebody might attack you with a screwdriver" - kind of made me think exactly on that Glock : kind of "bayonet screwdriver " ... It's thin but pretty strong - it's exactly as I said : a "screwdriver" knife ... Long enough (almost 7 in) but clearly a stabber ....and very nimble ... Oh, yeah - and a budget knife for sure ... And the sheath ...phenomenal ... As minimalistic and versatile as you want ... You basically can carry it on your shorts ... Oh, and that knife is carried by several spec ops arround Europe ... So, it seems is no joke ...

@@DonnieBAllDay ya and its a great user and it appeals to the cowboy kid in me wanting that with stag handles and a six shooter and fuck society and the times lol.

I have a 5 and a quarter inch long marine KABAR knife. I like it for a boot sheath knife and it’s American made with a great leather handle and it’s small enough to draw quickly and get into tight spaces yet really penetrate deeply. It’s a very expensive knife though. I bought it 3 years ago from cabelas online for 75 dollars but it costs a lot more now

Spent a little extra on mine. My carry knife I'll have on my side until I die is my Bear and Son gold rush bowie. Shaving sharp, perfectly balanced and feels good in the hand.

Hey donnie, speaking strictly for home defence purposes; Are the bowie knives shape superior to the American tantos you've reviewed from cold steel ? Like the recon
