    John Nowill Isreali

    Posted by John on 18th Aug 2020

    Popped into my local military surplus store, had one of these on display. ( sorry H/H) And after giving it some thought purchased said knife got home & after a good inspection not bad at all . Well put together although could have been finished better.( a little scruffy) even grind & sharp factory edge sheath is adequate it is blade heavy but i like that. i feel this will serve me well as good all round working knife.....RECOMMENDED !!!

    Get a Ka-Bar

    Out the box the finish was quite poor and the edge was blunt and it's the only knife I've had an issue with sharpening. Just get a Ka-Bar.

    NOT BAD.

    Posted by JACKSON on 18th May 2019

    THIS KNIFE, FOR THE PRICE IS NOT BAD. IT TAKES A GOOD EDGE AND SEEMS ROBUST ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH I WOULDN'T START BATTONING LOGS WITH IT.AS I SAY, FOR THE PRICE, DECENT KNIFE. HEINNIE HAYNES WERE BRILLIANT AS USUAL.

    Pleasantly surprised

    Posted by Richard on 25th Mar 2014

    Having read mixed reviews on several websites, I was not expecting much from this knife. However, I was very pleasantly surprised when it arrived. For the price, it is good value and well finished. The handle is well made, and the tang neatly riveted over. Blade is very good, well formed, polished and then given a lovely blued finish before being lightly, and neatly ground at the edge. Not the usual Sheffield coarse-grind at all. Yes it is blade-heavy, but that comes with a strong rigid blade, and will need a very light honing to be shaving-sharp, but this is no criticism. The sheath is a reasonable fit, not perfect, but is made from supple leather and neatly riveted and stitched. To sum up, very pleased and would recommend. Heinnie gave fantastic service as always, less than 24 hours from order to delivery! Thank you.

    Great Kit!

    Posted by Barry on 17th Jan 2011

    Another great knife from Sheffield. Comfy to use, tough blade, and sure feel. It did need a wipe with a stoner to get the edge tip top, but well worth the money. Thanks HH.

    Nowill Israeli commando knife

    Posted by kenny g on 15th Jan 2011

    Not a great knife,very poorly balanced (blade-heavy),and supplied blunt.However it is very reasonably priced.My advice? If you have the extra dosh,go for the KA-BAR USMC knife.It is truly superb in every way.

    I must say this is a real beauty! I think for the price it is an excellent knife! Love the Star of David stamped on the right side! It's well balanced and feels good in the hand. Customer service from Heinnie is top notch!!! I received my knife in 5-days!!!!! Thats service! I would rate this knife a 5 but because the sheath is pretty much a universal and the loop to hold the handle is bigger than the handle so... no snug fit I gave it a 4. Over all I'm well pleased!
