This is a very popular XL-sized Bowie knife, primarily because you can get one for $20 plus shipping. A lot of people asked me to bang on this knife to see if it holds up. I was surprised how durable it was. I've never recommended a surgical steel blade for any sort of outdoor use, until now. This thing is so thick and heavy that I can overlook the steel. It will hold up if you want an extremely large camp knife, for example if you don't want to have to carry a hawk or small hatchet, too.

I've been using this knife's big brother, the timber rattler el paso bowie, for 2 years now. I bought it as a novelty to use for chopping and expected it to break after a couple uses, two years of heavy use later I still expect it to break every time I take it out and it's proven me wrong every single time. Throws like a champ as well.
+Ben “Calamity” Diamond I'm glad to hear it has held up!
the outlaw is bigger than the el paso-
You've been using the Outlaw Bowie's little brother "the el Paso" you mean?
The Outlaw look's slightly bigger...
Ben Diamond bowei knife 26 $ that mean it is cheap and i tkink it is sorry to say that it is bad
I think you have that back wards good sir
This is a good knife, it solved the problem I had with my ex-wife cheaply and efficiently.
Love it 🤣
I hope it was the same problem j have with mine... not my ex but my wife can break any knife.... so I got her this one for the kitchen....
Hahahaha
When I had that knife budk was selling it 2 for 18.99$. Processed a poplar tree with it and no damage to it. Budget beast!
I got one a couple of years ago for $17. The first one I got had a bent tip, so I sent it back and they sent me a new one and a beater multi tool. I use it to kill electronics that anger me when they malfunction.
+David Phillips Other people's electronics LOL
WeAllJuggleKnives Damn people using cell phones in movie theaters. lol
Damn. From what I just saw, this monster can get it done. I'm buying one. This blade can do it and where I am that's a plus.
That moment when a knife, a machete, and a hatchet had a threesome. THEN BORN WAS A BOWIE KNIFE!
A knife review requested by many. Can the mighty Timber Rattler Outlaw be worth the mere $20 (plus shipping)?
+WeAllJuggleKnives yes
Yeah, even though the blade is made out of some cheap Chinese stainless steel it is surprisingly strong & holds up to hard use.
Video is now 8 years old, price is now around $35 plus shipping. Is it worth it as a chopper and general camp knife for batoning, etc. Hell yes! I just finally bought it today!
I'd feel better with that big boy when someone knocks on the door late at night, compared to a lot of 2 and 3 hundred dollar blades
+Bubba Love This would definitely make a bad guy reconsider his path in life LOL
i bought one 3 years ago ..... the i bought another one 2 years ago.... love them
Full Tang you're beating the hell out of that tree that thing is cutting man unbelievable that's one tough knife
Thanks for the review. It is a cheap knife, and you do get more than you pay for. Timber Rattler make okay stuff. I have their Scarab 8" folding knife and it works.
I'll probably keep saving for Cold Steel's 1917 Bowie though.
nice review! I have one too and at its price I don't think it can be beat. I also have the mini rattler which is about 3/16 thick. cost around 14 dollars and is great! the only problem I had is my stitching around the belt loop on my sheath is not holding up. but I would still buy another one! - Kevin
great blades
Good review thinking about getting one
It's an excellent knife for the money, but it's still a cheap knife. It will take a shaving edge with very little effort, but it won't hold it for long. The blade is just too soft for that. Still, it's a big, solid, heavy duty knife that you can baton with all day and aside from being a bit duller afterwards, there won't be any damage. Considering the price, the sheath is awfully good too and if for some crazy reason I had to defend myself with it, I think it would be an excellent knife for that purpose. I kind of treat it like a heavy machete. I sharpen it on a disc sander with an 800 grit disc and then strop it on a belt sander I have fitted up with a leather belt. I sometimes use it for splitting kindling for the wood stove.
Would I buy another one? Maybe. A huge Bowie knife like this isn't really very practical, so I'm not sure it makes much sense to spend the extra cash for a better quality one, but at the same time, how many low end knives do you want? I'd rather have one really nice one than five cheap ones. Still, as low end knives go, this is among the best.
Had mien a couple years now. Love it. its a solid knife. I scraped it up some sharpening it wit ha whetstone so plan to use the grinder wheel on it to buff it up. It has the classic shape to it for a bowie too.
It's a great looking knife and i love how durable it is. But, personally i wouldnt chop wood with a knife like that, instead i would use a hatchet or axe. But thats just what i would do. Ive been looking for a bowie knife that i can take in the woods with me and hunt or survive out there if need be. And I think i just found one. Great video btw!
SHUT UP BRO
For the money you get a decent deal, BUT here’s what you’re buying: (This comes from the manufacturer’s CZcams video) The blanks are mass stamped to shape from sheets of stainless steel, annealed for grinding, ground, polished, assembled, and hilt sanded and polished, then sharpened. The only thing that resembles heat treatment is the edge becoming red hot during grinding and then dipped into water to cool it down… repeatedly. The small pins are what is holding the handle together, the large pins are fakes that are epoxied in for show. The sheath is leather but not thick. The sheath spacer is foam rubber. The knife probably won’t break but the edge won’t hold up properly either.
Excellent info, thanks!
I was considering this knife already but this video sold me. I hate it when people just talk about knives but don't demonstrate their abilities. I need to see a real world application. Appreciate you giving it such a beating. That told me much more than a detailed description. It's like this knife was made to be beaten and for that price, why not?
It's a big strong knife! I've talked to many other people who own one, since this vid, and pretty much 80-90% of them are pleased with theirs for the price.
I love how they were cool enough to put a blood groove.
It’s a fuller. Typically for weight reduction. “Blood groove” is a common misnomer.
What a GREAT blade for only $20! I may seriously have to get of these. I've been wanting a bigger blade along these lines for bigger jobs. Thanks for the review!
Great value: that looks like it could be a lot of fun to play around with! I want to dual-wield a pair of them. Maybe take that thing to the airport and see if I can sneak it past the TSA; just to keep them on their toes!
I'm gonna go buy me a new Bowie now.
Like right now😂
'm generally against cheap stuff, but I am LOVING that knife. That is a lot of material for your money.
Good video and review. Wow you were hammering the Stump of Truth with that massive Bowie knife =)
great knife here guys. It would be perfect if it had the sawback blade design up top. Straight up honestly for $20 you can't beat it.
Unbelievable this bowie is still $26 on Amazon it is one everybody can afford without worry. Tough and looks cool what more can be asked for.
This is one of the best budget large fixed blades around. Since this video, I have heard from a lot of people who own this knife and used it, and 90% of those people we happy with it.
It needed a better edge on it should cut through wood like butter. I have read alot of comments that say the blade shows up from the manufacture woefully dull and even that the blade has broken during limb cutting also it starts to rust relatively fast but one positive i have heard is it does sharpen up nicely. Honestly i prefer traditional Bowie knifes that have deer antler handles and made of at least carbon steel. I think he hit the nail on the head when he called it just a huge chunk of steel.
Good Review. I have a similar knife, picked it up at a flea market for $10. Made in India. Probably truck spring steel. It works just like yours. Great to have. I use it when I really beat it up. It takes the licking and keeps on ticking.
Serious performance of The Western Outlaw Bowie from Timber Rattler. & yes I enjoyed this video of 1 of my favorite knives. Thanks.
There's a good chance those chips are from dirty wood. When it rains it splashes all kinds of stuff on wood.
When I was logging we'd use a hatchet to chop though the bark of dirty wood where we intended to cut.
If you don't you'll be sharpening your chains more often and also risk chips.
Just thought I'd share that. When you review a blade just chop the outer layer off so your giving the blade a fair review. I'm thinking it would be useful for cleaning up wood I am sawing and I'd rather damage a thirty dollar blade than the others I have.
Its just a really cool looking blade for a very reasonable price imo.
And after watching several reviews it appears to be a really tough knife as well.
If you wanna get a really great chopper give the Cold Steel Chaos Kukri a try. You won't be disappointed.
Very good review I have two timber rattler knifes they make a very good camping knife and a fighting knife if SHTF
I love Bowie knives
Could you make a video about the best/safest way to deliver a chop? I mean, I know you can't teach martial arts or really any athletic activity through a video, but some discussion about how to tense the arm and wrist before and during impact would be really cool. I often feel like I over tense my wrist and absorb more shock than necessary. I dunno, just an idea.
Love the video, got one of these for my Grampa as a present two or three years ago.
Awesome!They just came out with the damascus one! please review! I gotta know if i should get one. Thanks for all the cool vids bro
Just bought one and it arrived a few days ago. I am sending it out to get the clip sharpened for back cuts. It passed the paper test out of the box with no problems. The sheath I wasn't too concerned with as it will be modified for IWB carry with a frog for retention.My husband carries a 10.5" Bowie with a vicious back cut (sharpened clip). The Timber Rattler gets it done. Don't let the $$$ fool you. This knife can take it and keep going. Tiny nicks can easily be taken out with a stone. I've seen $200 - $300 Bowies not fare as well, believe it or not. Don't ignore this knife. Sharpen the clip or have it done if you plan on seriously using it as a defensive knife and yes, there are sheaths made that can make this knife literally disappear under a T Shirt. Go to James Keating's website under COMTECH and buy two DVDs. BOWIE BASICS and THE DEADLY BACK CUT. IF you are seriously considering a Bowie for defensive EDC, you owe it to yourself to learn and train correctly. You cannot go wrong with the Timber Rattler.
Yeah this bowie is awesome for the price, it's one of my top 10 budget fixed blades.
Although there are a small number of Timber Rattler reviews up here as is, my husband and I are contemplating one but showing the Timber Rattler in a different light while exploring its benefits and possibilities. One of the big selling points of this knife is the REAL full tang.
Oh yeah, I love to sharpen the clip but not all the way up. Four bevel diamond combat tip up over to backcut false edge very sharp first 1/2" to 1" inch or so depending on depth & length of the clip point. I like to lower the tip quite a bit too. Then just tighten the clip bevels radius up to the spine but reducing angle without razorbacking all of it. I prefer to leave upper half to quarter of clip radius blunt, partly for safety & use, mostly to not risk destroying sheath. Had two Outlaws, sold one, both modified that way plus full mirror polished by hand. Clyde is a monster, goes through 55 gal steel drum, any coins, wood, even chopped up frozen ground digging out pickup sank in snow til tires dug into earth. Dulled edge a bit, no blade damage though, only scratches in mirroring.
Best big knife you can get can take the punishment you just have work on the edge i haven't broken mine yet after a couple years best thing is its cheap to replace
Yep, it's a very solid knife! A lot of people have tried this knife because it is inexpensive and almost all he reports are positive.
I have one. The edge rolls and the bevel actually bends out of alignment easily cutting the softest wood. It would scare a bad guy but that's about it. if it had any sort of heat treatment it would be good, but i'd not want another one
How old, when was your 17 TR65 TIMBER RATTLER OUTLAW BOWIE purchased? Hot Chille Prepper said 2016-09:
"I even tried drilling the steel where the handle is so I could bolt
different handles on it, no freakin way it's that hard it burned my
drill bits."
Craigslist Chattanooga tenn
that timber rattler is worth the money mines preforms great takes everything I dish out
Great review as always. This knife is selling for $19.99 with free shipping on amazon. Unbelievable.
I've seen quite a few reviews on this knife. How tough it's made and it can take a good beating and come back for more but, the chief complaint has been, how absolutely dull it comes right out of the box! Well, somebody must've heard that cause mine came in "razor sharp"! Fit and finish is damn near bullet proof too! I was ready to put it on the grinder to put on edge on it but didn't have to! I'm not the first one to be so lucky either, just the luck of the draw I guess. The only consistent thing I found out about this knife is, how inconsistent the whale control on the edge is... Good knife though.
*QUALITY control, not WHALE control LOLMAO!!! Damned spell check...
You did a great video I like your presentation and the damn thing is Full Tang God it's a beast me and when you chopped it through that Stomp the damn thing went deep amazing thank you for sharing I'm going to buy one I need to cut some branches down I think it'll cut 1/2 inch branches easy and if I ever chip the blade I'll just sharpen it again that's all re sharpen it no big deal
Thank you, buddy! Yeah, this is a great knife for the price, thick and a tough beast.
Es realmente fulltang o es una soldadura entre la guarda y el mango.
thankyou for the report i will get one in 6 months thankyou that will replace my western bowie knive
You have a western W-49 , and are willing to replace it with that ?
i might get one for my dad as a wall hanger however i am very interested in the condor dundee bowie,id love you too put that through its paces other reviews aren't doing it for me lol;)x
Darcy leepearson I have the Condor Dundee. The angle of the handle is not good for me. It terrorizes my wrists. I have to choke all the way up just behind the blade to control it properly. If I had to do it again, I could find someplace better to spend my money. And, being it's used as a Bowie also, not hanving any kind of a guard can get a little (lot!) dicey.
Wow, that is one chunk of steel! For that price, it is a good looking beater knife for sure. Could probably take out a few Zombies along the way too.....
+Evil Droid It should definitely make a cameo on the Walking Dead
Impressive especially since it's an inexpensive knife. Yes, I agree. I think it's worth the money.
+Teachering Thanks for watching!
Well, that one is on my wish list
..now it'll be on my shipping list..
Such a cool knife. I would love to get it
I don’t worry too much about rolling edges, a good flat rock will put the sharp edge back on it.
do the cold steel gi tanto
Current price as of August 2019 is $30. - $34. But for $20 yeah I'd buy one ? Check out the TR65 SS , it's not fit for knives
I have one & it's a BEAST !!!
+MrEdium Beast Mode!
Oh, Israel, I forgot to mention this on Google Plus so I found this video, forgive me I'm not trying to brag, but a while ago I won a drawing just to beable to buy a INFIMANDU which is a INFI Steel Ratmandu one of my all time Fav's, so I bought it, now I get a e-mail stating my INFI is ready. but I already got mine, so I called right back, and now I have two INFIMsnDu's, How awesome is that. That's what I'm talking about, , , Laterz.
hey, +wealljuggleknives you should check out the timber rattler scarab back
I was shocked how well the did .thanks
+Roland Lowhorn Welcome!
I didn't expect much more.My Schrade F37 is way better but i didn't expect much more than this.It's a cheap knife.What can you expect more.The coating is off and all this but it makes the job.Somethimes the cheap solutions are the best.
this is the one knife that I have that I wished I bever bought.
the knife rusted, if you buy oil it. The finished grind AKA the cutting bevel on mine was off. but it looks cool and is a cheep zombie fighter. buyer beware!
+Heith Miller How long did you have it when it started to rust?
13 days and it was left in the sheath. It was ok after using metal polish but this is low quality pig iron. So be warned that it it is not stainless steel Its some cheep Pakistan knife. How China maks a better cheep knife. If schrade made it the blade would be better.
I gave it mixed reviews on amazon, first a 2 star rating then I moved it up tow three stars after getting the rust off. If you want something good for your monet go Cold steel GI Tonto you will be glad you did. I also have a no name machete at $16 that I like better. But the handle is ok.
+Heith Miller any stainless can rust.
+Heith Miller That's weird, this type of steel is pretty corrosion resistant.
Good review my friend
Thank you! Cheers!
Primary objection was it was not razor sharp outta da box….we know how to remedy that!
I can see you doing videos for BUDK lol. If that blade was carbon steel like 5160l it would be a Beast.
+TangSooDoArnis4Life This gun is for hire, they should get at me LOL.
The outside probably acted to slow the blade down slightly.
Q: For people having the 17 TR65 TIMBER RATTLER OUTLAW BOWIE, how is it holding up?
(Please state how you use it.)
I have THE TIMBER RATTLER
That's the spirit!
Some 1 shows off thier new pocket knife, I'm like that's not a knife this Is a ...
Q: WHAT KIND / GRADE of STAINLESS is used on the 17 TR65 TIMBER RATTLER OUTLAW BOWIE ?.. and is it HEAT-TREATED?
(17 TR88 TIMBER RATTLER JUNGLE FURY BOWIE states it is AUS-6 Stainless (Rat tail tang- Do not know if rat-tail is welded.)
.
WeAreNotAlone69 it type 304 stainless
So, (I haven't read the comments) this seems like a solid knife. I can sharpen the blade, that's no problem. It seems like a better choice than some $350 bullshit knife which is exactly the same thing, but with some name attached to it. Fuck, I'mma buy this thing.
Another honest review, keep up the good work. What music track accompanied the video?
+Edward Hastings Thanks! Metal Over Europe.
just ordered one
Nice, I may have to pick one up!
+GrOuNdZeRo7777 Dangerous Things Channel Glad you like it!
I bought one and was disappointed at how soft the metal is and how dull it was when I got it.
1murder99, dirt is sharper than the blade I received. However, 1 hour with the appropriate tools & my TR is cutting incredibly thin, long ribbons through paper, on every section of the blade. The blade can be made razor sharp. Yes, that big honking blade can be razor sharp. If you keep a pocket Work Sharp diamond sharpener with you, you can knock out any chip, or, roll you might get in a matter of a minute,as you're abusing this blade while chopping. My cost was $27 shipped. It'd be hard to find a better buy. And, if you lost it, or, destroyed it (very doubtful) it's only $27!
Good knife I got a couple of them for presents
Badass knife though.
+Michleer1 glad you like it!
WeAllJuggleKnives Sure I did!
How heavy is it? Looks a lot like the Condor Dundee Bowie.
Does this knife come very sharp right out of the box and does it hold an edge ok. Is the spine 90 degrees to take a spark from a ferro rod or is it rounded.. thanks
+Stargazer131000 It comes with a very broad edge that is not very sharp. The steel is a stainless steel, so it's not good for striking a ferro rod on.
Em qual é o site que agente pode comprar essa faça?
I'm getting it
like this review bro i like to buy this demmm good weapon for Zombie ohh yeahhhh
can anyone recommend me something better than a cheaper surgical stainless Bowie knife, I use a machete at my ranch but I'd like something in between that and my morakniv pro S. my budget is $100 so any brands I should look at.
The Ontario Marine Raider is pretty good!
WeAllJuggleKnives what about the Ontario RTAK 2, I know 5160 is a spring steel and can easily handle what I put my blades through and it looks full tang, might check out a few videos first.
Re: "I busted a $30 one a few days ago, fucker just snapped and I wasn't even being that rough with it."
1: Busted what? (Mfg/ model#.. and please state how old/when purchased as quality /design can change over time)
2: Snapped were? Broke at weld of a rat-tail tang?
.
For a bit more I just bought a 2008 Mike "Alamo" Bainton Bowie for $150 from my local knife shop.
A superb Bowie created by one of our local Guinness book of World Record knife throwers.
Google his name and check out some of the pictures of his knife on his Facebook page.
It's well worth a look.
Beautiful Big Knife.
ive got 3 of these . they need to be sharpened up. you can tell its cheap it isn't great quality its a knife that can do a decent job and its a knife that you can abuse and won't care about it . on the blade its got stamped stainless steel Pakistan Lol
Pakistan has a lot of nutjob muslims who behead people so I think they know a thing or two about making bladed weapons. Just saying.
I bought one today iff of let go the kid had no idea what he sold
lol intense tree chopping music
great knife great review
+Matt Johnson Thanks for watching!
Hey its a bowie knife here in the uk we dont have the choice to buy a big knife its a 3 inch folding none locking thats the legal to carry here in the UK yeah ! go ahead and laugh.
What about for camping? Surely for camping they let ya!
I dig it brother great video
Có ship về Việt Nam ko ?
That branch had dry rot.
How good is the steel for the price? Whats your favorite bowie in the 150-250$ range?
+artifaker1 The w49s are hard to find in good condition.
+Lukedp 97 The steel isn't that good, but there's a lot of it. Hard to think of a Bowie in that price range, but the Marine Raider is a really good mid-range Bowie.
thanks for the suggestions guys.
that is a strong ass branch
a tessen (metal steel fan) would win against a bowie knife in combat!
I have one
Damn I want this so bad
It's looks like the Bowie knife off of bo3 zombies
shipping to poland cost more then knife wtf...
Pulled mine out of the scabbard both sides has rust spots
Is this labeled as an "Old Timer" ?
No it’s labeled timber rattler
seven years later i seen this lol its 35$ now
Purchased four so far. Best damn cheap blade there is. I would put it up against many better knives . Beats a cable tang. Your slow doing this review bro.
+dirtrider169 Yeah, I've had this blade for a while, and then one day I awoke and said, "It is time."
+1. I love the red handle mini version as well!
+WeAllJuggleKnives cool. love your videos
that knife is a Zombies nightmare. Built like a tank.
+coolbut Nogame true that!
