Dbad's stuff has always been bigger and better than most! Sure us on the outside looking in think its great but for dbad its a blessing and a curse. While it makes him popular with the lady's it is his cross to bare. This is ode to the fastest man on three legs Dbad. Thank you! Great video!
I actually just bought a timber rattler, it's my first ever real big Bowie knife, aside from my harbor freight and another one I bought at some military reenactment from a vendor who is selling surplus things. I'm hoping one day somebody is going to invite me on a camping trip. But I'm definitely interested in buying your d bad mission 3. I was checking out your website I like that you have options. Lord Almighty a 15 inch blade option 😮😮😮 you earned a subscriber, and soon to be a potential new customer!
@@kairoward7738 if I changed the profile then it wouldn't help anyone. They would buy it stock with garbage geometry and be pissed that I lied. Stock edge vs stock edge is the only fair comparison because most people can't reprofile a blade.
Very good comparison of two cool big knives , KHHI Kukri House steel is a major factor in the edge holding and blade strength. But the Timber Rattler TR65 is still a beast especially for the price ,you can't go wrong with either one of those Bowie knives although the Mission III is a better performer.
Cool 👌😎👍video Donnie 😎 You get what you pay for. dbad Mission III is a high quality 👌blade. If you don't have the funds for it. Better to save up. Be patient and don't run out and get a POS! You will disappointed. Again Cool 😎video Donnie 😎
@@DonnieBAllDay Man oh man...it’s everything you described. This thing is a beast like none before. All this knife for such a great price too! You knocked it outta the park with this one.
If you had the Legendary Mtech Raptor Bowie Knife It would Rock with the best of any blade on the market factory of handmade , but those are two very good blades and I truly like your Mission III knife design ,it's hard very not too and the D guard Bowie aka the Decapitator also ⚔️.
your mission III no doubt far excels that timberwolf bowie. I have that timberwolf and it has held together but I dropped it once and the blade tip flattened.
@@DonnieBAllDay oh I see. Makes sence for back in the day. "Fighting knives" have come a long ways from "Bowie's" to what they are now. Now days they seem to be about being smaller lighter faster.
@@cloudnine8842 Some, yes. The importance of a fighting knife is in the blade length. It takes a minimum of a 4" blade to reach the average persons vital organs
There is also a huge difference in price. Almost 200 dollars difference. It seems unfair to compare something with that big of price difference. Dollar for Dollar value I beleive the Timber Rattler may be the winner. Especially for new collectors that dont have 225 dollars to spend on a knife but still wants to experience a large bowie and can afford 30 dollars. Since the overall design seems to be almost identical in the two.
This video was done by request. The Mission III is sub $200. Dollar for dollar, the TR still doesn't compare. The $15 Szco High Carbon Bowie is half the price of the TR and far better in edge geometry. Even a budget blade should have proper beveling.
@@DonnieBAllDay The Szco is a decent knive for the price I have had 3 of them. All were different blade thickness, the last one was less than 3/32 thick. And the grind lines looked like an ocean wave, but still for the price I agree it is hard to beat. I would take high carbon over cheap stainless any day of the week. You definetly have to keep it oiled and out of sheath or rust will take over pretty quick on it though.
Bravo!...you hit the nail on the head!......I have the Rattler, and have beat the he'll out of it, and is still a beast of a knife, for around 30-35 bucks...Timber rattler gets my vote, no brainer
wow much people like my Dbad Preacher in my video i make oups not my Dabad Preacher but you're Preacher it's to cool and much people know is you're knife i'm so happy to you my Bro
@@DonnieBAllDay I think for me what I would consider the best is the one that bites the deepest without getting stuck every time and can hog off the biggest chips of wood.
After watching a lot of these videos, It has become clear the Timber Rattler Western Outlaw is the gateway drug to the Big Bowie addiction. For forty bucks it gets you into the thick blade game and suddenly anything less than 11" and a quarter inch thick is no longer of interest. The Khukiri House has a lot of respect for you and now I see a bunch of stuff I never knew about and can't live without. Poor Cold Steel got sold and the new owners don't love the game. Gil Hibbins is mass produced in a factory in China.
Hibbins was first . The Timber Rattler came about 3 or more years later . Oh btw I have been using my Timber Rattler every day on clearing brush and foliage . Thats due to the wildfires we have been having here in the State of Washington . Very dry no real rain fall in along while .
@@DonnieBAllDay Exactly seems we can't get the rain we need and are fighting a uphill battle . We're trying to stay ahead of the chance of fires starting . Alot of us are using our Bowie knives to clear whatever needs clearing .
@@DonnieBAllDay Glad that You are Brother wish we were. Only reason lots of us are using just Bowie knives most of the time is we can get in close and in tight areas without chance of sparks or something else . Plus easy to pack in and out if we end up on the run . Easy to maintain and take care of
Timber rattler no puede compararse con el Dbad pero de los cuchillos bajo precio el Timber rattler no lo hace tan mal. Tengo un Timber rattler el problema que le veo es que no puede mantener el filo pero a mi me funciona porque corto carne y frutas y cosas simples. Ahora el Dbad bowie es un tanque hecho en Nepal.
Are you right handed? That would explain the cutting action being better for the knife in your right hand. Your right hand and forearm are stronger than your left hand an forearm. For the price give me the Timber Rattler every time. Not knocking the other knife, but other reviewers are very impressed with the T. R.

My point is do you speak with them about what they put out with your name on? And have you seen the review?? ( It's your preacher design )
I did. It was corrected. Since then KHHI has said that from now on, every dbad blade will be made only by master smith's, not craftsman level. They are making them right. Look at any other review. I got a CS that bent day 1, but 99% of them have been great

@@rufussampson4358 well... you got the math wrong, but the other is 170 because its a far better knife. Thats why we buy them diamond rings, not amathyst
In Germany the Mission III is about double the price of a Timber Rattler Western Outlaw Bowie. I am thinking first time, that a knife about twice the price is twice as good as the cheap one. On other blades of similar size and length this often is not the case. Because both of 'em cut, both have a sheet, both take an edge. But when I see the cutting, think about the materials and the handle design it becomes the truth. This Mission III is twice as good as the Timber Rattler. At least in my humble opinion.
ALL MEL GIBSON KNIVES ARE MADE IN CHINA, HAVE BEEN FOR A DECADE EVEN STAMPED ON BLADES ON It has a 12 1/2", razor-sharp 3Cr13 stainless steel blade that's massive MADE IN CHINA
I have a request can you put the star wars helmet on and go outside and chop!!!!!!! Don’t say no I think it will be funny as fuck!!!!!! Be a player come on Donnie!!!!!! I’ll be waitin
I would trust my life to the stronger edge with the better profiling. The knife with the superior balance with the harder striking and ability to take more punishment. But hey, that's just me. I prefer to win.
for what? In order to recreate a design it must be 5% different than the original. This blade has has an over 40% difference in design than the Hibben. The TR is actually closer in design to the Hibben than my blade.
Loving that Dbad subscription watermark you have added champ.
Very professional!
Watch the subs grow. ;)
