Bow River

[Murphjd25]

Got mine in today. Overall I’m impressed with it for being what it is, a budget fixed blade made in China. I’m probably going to buy a few more. Only nit pic I have with it is them not fully sharpening the entire blade to the choil. Easy fix though. The sheath is pretty damn nice too for an overall package of $32.50. I’m hoping to catch some fish this weekend and clean em and filet em. Looks like it’s going to be a good Slicer.

That looks great... especially at the price.

If it makes you feel any better neither of the two Wilson knives I own came fully sharpened all the way down. Not to the extent of the spyderco offering, but I always assumed it was designed like that for safety reasons.

Yeah, I was assuming it was to protect some people from getting cut. I’ll take the edge all the way back this weekend when I get some downtime finally! It sounds like this is intentional on Phil Wilson’s part then I am going to assume. Not a problem!

Where did you get yours from? I've been waiting for them to go in-stock (didn't preorder), but it doesn't seem like the major shops have them yet?

 

[Murphjd25]

I got mine from DLT.

I got mine from DLT.

Thanks for the heads up. But unfortunately, they're showing out of stock already.

Every place that got them in stock ran out quickly. I got mine from Cutlery Shoppe on the night of the 13th, but in less than an hour they were sold out.

I have had mine on pre-order since the day they went up on knife center. Still no knife, but I am patient.

May not be related or that relevant, but some of my Spyderco kitchen knives are sharpened just like that. I figured it was intentional but I dunno.

I just saw Bow River in stock at the knife place that works. KW

I’m not sure if the can list their name on Bladeforums.

I love my sprig as well. Wish I could get one more.

But the bow river also hits a very different spot on the economy scale... I want a few! It'll be great to give those out to my hunting friends.

I got my Bow River a couple of days ago. I'm really liking it and I think it's a great value!

Just picked up a couple myself. Going to extend the grind to the choil and we'll see how they do.

I see my new fishing knife! Can't bring myself to buy the pricey Wilson as much as I love it with it getting beat up salmon fishing
This looks love a great mid level user.....plus I don't need to pack ceramic or diamond stones

It does do pretty well at gutting and filleting some silvers and kings

Finally got my ship notice. Excited to get them in!

I like the dual color G10 handle. You can cop a good feel with it. The blade is well pinned to the handle.

Inch by inch this is THE best knife you can buy ANYWHERE for that price ($32,50),i did cut up some big slab's of beef thinking if it would do the job.but surprisingly (for me!) it stood up to the task,i will buy one or 2 more,Sal & Eric,this Phil Wilson designed "little big knife is a hit!

Got mine today. Super impressed. The bevel is not super consistent on mine but otherwise it’s pretty spotless. Have not done much with it yet but it feels great in hand and the blade geometry seems perfect.

For the price, honesty even if it weren’t a Spyderco it’s a total steal.
