    Rough use knives, Canam has them, you can't kill them, hard to get a good edge on but once you do, it lasts, I use one for,, well rough use batoning, digging in dirt peeling bark, anywhere you don't want to hurt your expensive knife, and if the rocks happen to dull it a bit my belt knife sharpener brings it back in about 2 minutes, great piece of kit, the handle in some rattle a bit but can be tightened easily it is just a big rivet! Buy a few they make Good gifts!

    I can't seem to find it on their website. I can't stand their new website , I can't find anything. I don't know if it's because it isn't updated yet or what. Seems like they don't post all of their stock on it.

    Yep, rough use bowie - they get them in by the load, and they sell out really fast - get this item put on your "wish list" or notifications list, or whatever, and you'll get an email when the item is in stock... People buy several at a time.
    I used an angle grinder to put a different angle on the cutting edge, and then used the stone...

    It definitely is a drawback , but it's a great knife to toss anywheres. Like I said , not something I'd bring when my life depended on it.

    You have to dink around a bit with the filters on the CAnadaAmmo site, but the listing is findable. Bad news -- both the Bowie and Bolo are listed as Out Of Stock.

    I have one of each...they'll do in a pinch, esp. if you can get them properly sharpened. Good knives to practice sharpening on, actually...

    How exactly do you adjust the filters? I can't find anything on their website , it gets frustrating.

    Yes, i dont go on the nee site it is a p i a . I watched a guy on youtube put the rough use knife through a torture test including standing on the handle while the blade was sandwiched betweeen 2. 4x4cutting cement block, etc and he was north of 250lb so not sure what more a guy could want! I used mine for 2 years camping batoning firewood and really trying to see what these could take! Some paint was rubbed off, thats it handle still in tact! As for the swedish one i have one and would rather pay $5 more for the cheaper mora!
