Down Under Outback Bowie Fixed Blade Reviews

4.6 Rating 11 Reviews

It's back! One of Heinnie Haynes' best selling knives of all time...the Down Under Outback Bowie.
The Outback features a forged, dual heat treated 440C stainless blade honed to a razor sharp edge. The back retains some spring to it while the edge has been made hard enough to withstand hundreds or thousands of cuts with no perceptible dulling. This is not a wall hanger - Down Under set out to create the most effective Bowie knife ever produced, and designed every detail. This is one blade that will never let you down.
The handle is skillfully crafted out of genuine ebony, leather and brass with an ultra-strong tang that will not twist or break in heavy use.
The solid, bead blasted brass handguard and pommel complete the distinctive look. The Outback is truly both a great example of the knifemaker's art as well as the most rugged, dependable tool an outdoorsman could wish for.
The Outback comes with a genuine heavy leather sheath patterned to resemble crocodile skin. The sheath features an integral retaining boot for the included high quality sharpening spike.

“Another update on this knife after it being sharpened by an expert and it has has a fair bit of use cutting wood. The weight of the knife is in the huge blade and boy does it cut with alacrity. It has lost none of the very sharp edge put on it by the expert, and I have not had to do anything to keep up the standard.I would highly recommend this beautiful knife that featured in the film crocodile dundee, the classic joke when the yob pulled a flick knife on him and his girlfriend said 'mick he's got a knife'. He replied that's not a knife this is a knife and draws his bowie, which made the switchblade look weedy in comparison, and predictably the yob runs off.The brass needs a polish now and again if you want it to look tip top, but so far that is all and as it is for my collection, that isn't an issue.”

“An update on my last review, I have contacted Hennies about sending the knife back to them to at least improve the blade to a stage at which it could at least cut paper.They had no suggestions other than do it yourself. So, I have found a guy who makes swords and daggers for re enactment clubs who would be easily capable of tackling what for me is a difficult task.There is a lesson to be learned, always check your knife over when you receive it, I have had problems with them in the past and Hennies to their credit have always given me a refund. Why they don't check them over themselves prior to sending them out I don't understand, probably a lack of time. I now have a cold steel knife which has just arrived and as the sheath and knife are supplied in separate containers, the knife won't enter the sheath more than an inch or so, again I don't understand why they didn't check it before sending it to me, I am returning it at my own expense by UPS for a refund which Richard has assured me will no problem, shame as it was a nice Knife, which has in the last couple of days become out of stock.I still rate Hennies very highly, I have dealt with them now for decades and in fact most of the knives in my collection are from them, and it is a collection that gives me a lot of pleasure so I hope that they keep going in these financially difficult times.Thanks and a merry Christmas to the team and Richard in particular who has been very helpful over the last 20 or more years.”
