Ridge Runner Whitetail Ridge Bowie Knife

I purchased this knife back in 3/18 for 9.99. It was a great deal. Now they want 24.99 for the same knife. They could at least upgrade the sheath to leather for that price. It is a nice knife.

Earlier this year I bought one real cheap try it out when I got it I thought ok, an wall hanger! No I was dead wrong!! Holds an edge well took into Mexico way down! An amigo loved it so I sold it to him for $15.00 American = 17.5 pesos to a dollar. Then I come back up and now I bought them for $11.00 so I bought a few to take with me next time I go down Bowie knives sell well up in the mountains on the Ranchos machete at Coco's heldados are a big hit the scales on this batch have fatter feel ( thicker) I like that!! The sheath is fine, especially in the tropics, where leather goes soft and rots any Viet Nam vets remember that problem??

This is an updated review from my review last year. I mentioned I had an issue with the handle and was not sure it would hold up in the field. It held up in the field. I hold this knife above all the rest I own and HIGHLY recommend it to anybody who collects or is in need of an inexpensive quality and trustworthy knife. I gave it 4 stars last time, this time around I’m giving it 5.

Best $5 knife I ever bought! After getting it I would pay $20 or more

This is about a Ridge Runner Pronghorn Peak Bowie / Fixed Blade Knife that I recently purchased a good deal. If I had purchased it at regular price it would have also been a great deal. I have other Ridge Runner knives in my collection that are just as well made and functional. All are full tang knives. They are all well made.

Bought this on sale for 5 bucks. For that price I wasn't expecting much. However this knife is well-made and comfortable. On top of that it is balanced and solid. Well beyond expectations for me. The sheath is the only downside but for that price I can't justify complaining about it enough to knock off a star. In fact if I could give it six stars I would.

Great price beautiful knife. Grips well good balance. Deserves nice leather sheath but I’ll find one.

Bought for gifts and they are beautiful. The guys like them very much.

Five stars no complaints!

I would like to buy this knife as it looks to be a quality blade, But a nylon sheath instead of a quality leather sheath for a few buck more would be my choice./

I have several Ridge Runners; but this has to be the best deal I have ever had. If I had paid full price it would have been a deal; but BK gave me a deal I couldn't pass up. This is a beautiful knife. Forget about wanting a leather sheath and concentrate on the knife. You can find a sheath somewhere else if it's that important. I'm fine with what I got. And mind you I have a big assortment of knives in various dollar amounts. I don't care if it is expensive or not. The important thing is whether it is useable and affordable. You won't be sorry owning this knife. Easy to sharpen, looks great, feels good in the hand. I like it. Should have ordered two.

I am a collector/user. I bought this because of the value and the handle material. I have several types of knives with this handle material and they display well. The construction is excellent, no gaps where the handle meets the guard. The edge and blade are found flawlessly. It is sharp out of the box.

Got this as a kotm. Sharp enough to shave right out of the box. Have done some batonning, and feather sticks with it and no problems or wear at all. Still cleans up nice enough to be a display knife. If you are interested, pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

Just received it in the mail. Beautiful, nice feel and weight, for a knife this size of is not too heavy and bulky. Balance is very nice in the hand. Would make a great deer camp knife for butchering, also I classy fighting knife. Mine is razor sharp out of the box and I really like the handle thickness. Personally I don't care for nylon she's the but this one is well made so I think I'll hang on to it, I knew it came with one and I usually make my own anyway no matter what knife it is. Honestly, I give this more than 5 stars, the handle is awesome, it reminds me and of the old Uncle Henry knives. I highly recommend this knife, would make a great gift also.

I have quite a few knives purchased from BudK. This one may be the best of the bunch. It certainly is the best for the money. All of the other reviewers' positive comments are true for the knife I received. Thanks, BudK!

Received this Bowie yesterday and it is razor sharp! Full Tang construction, nice polished steel and a decent sheath. I will have a leather sheath made for it. I would like to see Ridge Runner make more small bowies like the Executive, Celtic Abalone and the Imitation Pearl Handle. I collect them all. Keep them coming BudK!

Great knife for 10.00...Would buy more.

Sweet blade, a little lighter than I expected, but it still feels good in my hand. Very sharp right out of the box, a little honing and it will shave. Wished it would have came with a leather sheath, but I can make one. Worth $10.00 I may buy a second one.

This knife is awesome! I could not believe that this is 10 dollar knife. The blade is thick and sharp. The handle is very well made. Thick and beautiful. The brass accents are mirror polished just like the blade. Ridge Runner has the most beautiful low priced knives I've ever bought. Get one of these while you can. Thanks BudK!

Blade is sharp and well forged. Not sure how well the handle will hold with heavy use. The blade is even worth putting a real staghorn handle on should the plastic one come off.

Very good deal for money, looks good, seems to be heavy duty, have not used much, only thing handle is a little thin for me

When it comes to knives, I’m an old fashioned traditionalist. The ridge runner pronghorn Bowie doesn’t disappoint at all. Let’s start with the blade. It’s 420 stainless steel blade that can handle just about any task and one look and you’ll agree. It’s a full tang blade with brass guard and pommel. Now this is the part where the traditionalist comes into play. The handle on this beauty is not real stagg horn but a synthetic polymer type material. It doesn’t feel bad in the hand and looks authentic but again, I’m kind of picky when it comes to these things. I’m not sure how well the handle will hold up in the field so I will write another review upon working more with this knife. But for the price of this knife, it is money well spent despite the minor setback which probably won’t be so much for some folk. Another issue for me would be the sheath. The sheath provided looks to be well constructed from nylon however this knife would look so much better with a quality leather sheath. Again that’s just me but this knife is well worth the price especially considering you can get it for only $9.99 in the knife of the month club.
