Western Outlaw | Timber Rattler

Western Outlaw | Timber Rattler – The classic bowie knife for collectors

This impressive bowie knife from Timber Rattler is a real eye-catcher with its classic design. With a blade length of 28.9 cm and a total length of 41.9 cm, this is a large knife suitable for both outdoor use and your collection. The 3Cr13 steel blade features a traditional bowie shape that is instantly recognisable.

Experience from the Shogun team

During our bushcraft test, the solid weight of 794 grams was immediately noticeable. This bowie knife feels robust in the hand, although we found that the weight can become tiring during prolonged chopping. The included leather sheath is well finished and of good quality.

Performance and sharpness of this knife

The 3Cr13 steel is a reliable budget choice that holds an edge reasonably well and is easy to sharpen. The plain-edge cutting edge performs well when cutting rope and wood. For finer cutting tasks, the blade is a bit thick, but for camp tasks and chopping, this knife does the job well.

Grip and ease of use

The grey hardwood handle sits comfortably in the hand, even during intensive use. The brass-coated hand guard provides good finger protection. Due to the heavy blade, the balance point is forward, which is typical for a bowie and helps with chopping movements.

Who is this knife suitable for?

This bowie knife is perfect for collectors looking for an affordable classic model. Bushcrafters who want a robust knife for heavy camp tasks will also appreciate it. For EDC use, this knife is not practical due to its large size and weight.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance – clean it after use and oil the blade to prevent rust. Although it is reasonably rust-resistant, we recommend storing the knife dry. With proper care, this Western Outlaw will last for years.
