Jordan Hall thanks bro. appreciated.

mine came blunt

@@ignoratiodebibiware4295 Yep, so mine. Take it too a professional knife sharpener and have it sharpened. These knives are made by Windlass Steelcraft under license by Cold Steel. And Windlass is not known for putting a good edge on any of there blades.

How’s it holding up now? I absolutely love this knife I’ve wanted it for years I was going to get a timber rattler Bowie at first but now I can afford this knife that seems to be significantly better, I love the cutlass look it has to it, there’s a sword by cold steel with a very similar look my friend had it but they’re the same price

@@lakesheppard5466 its fine, its a really strong knife but I had to take a file to it to take the edge down to a better angle

Those bastards are everywhere!

That’s a good review I gonna definitely buy this blade, this is a good blade for a combat. O yes I hate pirates too hehe.

Definitely a pretty ass blade.

Finest I'm geeking out right there with you bro. This knife is in-frickin-sane!

Don't remove to much skin!! Haha

This was my fastest growing video

Its a beast!

I would have this and my beloved Espada S35VN xl the Mother of folding knifes and the ch(d)ad of bowie knifes

Its a beast

Bro! Thats awesome. You're going to have love at first sight with the 1917

@@DonnieBAllDay I like the HELL out of it already lol... Hey, when it arrives, I gonna send you that picture! You've turned me on to a lot of great blades Don...

Thanks bro.

DJ BILLY B old school mix that is incorrect. Chuck Norris does not shave with a Bowie knife . A Bowie knife shave shaves with Chuck Norris.

when he's done...the blade has little patches of tissue paper stuck to it

They did it right

You would love it and hell yeah they would look great together!

most definitely

It's a good buy

Dont know what else I could've called it. Haha

​@@DonnieBAllDay so many ill-informed people call them 'blood grooves'.

making choosing easy

it sure is

This blade became the puppeteer! It just guided me along

And I wish we could buy the sheaths to the various machetes cold steel has they’re made by Lasher tools in South Africa they’re actually pretty good quality

Being a fighting knife, it didnt need a survival sheath. Also, the frog can be used for the matching sword

Yeah, it comes out in the repetitive schpeel. I once said hand guard on a knife with no hand guard. I'm not retarded, I just wear the uniform. Haha!

Donnie B All Day I didn’t mean anything by it. No disrespect at all. Just shearing. Something I know. Not that often I can do that. Haha.

@@firefightin6 We're all brothers of the blade. I never take offense. Knowledge is power.

Hell yeah it is!

you'll love it

it's a fun blade!

thanks bro

smart! Haha

I agree

It's worth it

I need to look it up

its awesome

its awesome

Somebody has to do it! haha

It's a bad ass

You should love it

it's worth it

@@DonnieBAllDay do you think it would even up a fight between you and a grizzly bear?

@@lakesheppard5466 no. Id cheat

No. Mine came flawless

You won't hate that

great blade

Thanks bro

Thanks bro

The only way to be doing

Bro!!!!! You're getting some of the goodens! Cold Steel over Condor all day.

Donnie B All Day All day bro!!! All day!!!!

you just might live

gives you a fighting chance for sure

You are about to learn about true love!

Oh noooo. Haha! Im a Masshole. Second largest sycamore in New England

@@DonnieBAllDay you could say that lol. Got Florida boys here at fort polk bitchin when it's 50 degrees and breezy. I'm like haha noob

@@jdkeith5373 dealt with the same warm bloods at Ft Sill.

I'm very familiar with their knives. I might get one on here.

Vom temsky bowie is overly monstrous

Any time I can dumb down an outfit...

irsauers great question! the control of the Natchez Bowie is one of the best I've ever felt. The absolute badassness and destructible bringing the 1917 gives me gets meet giddy. I guess to answer that question, whichever one is closer. But if I really wanted to have some fun I would grab the Rambo first Blood knife. I know I could tear through a man with that without breaking it and it sure would be fun to decimate somebody with a Rambo knife! haha!

@@DonnieBAllDay Haha nice. I personally think the Rambo 2 knife looks even more badass

irsauers I agree. But First Blood is still First Blood! Love it!

irsauers the Natchez. I'm from there. actually, the Trailmaster. if Bowie was alive today, he'd agree.

@@oregonnative9694 I know what you're saying but I've chopped down little trees with all my Rambos. Cheap they are but also sharp, and well beyond capable of slicing a throat. It goes through wood, it'll go through skin.

Completely worth it

@@DonnieBAllDay Yeah buddy you had a lot of fun in the video. Theres 1 left on Amazon. Ive. een searching all different sites for 2 years before I found one for sale. Even eBay, nothing. Oh man I'm gonna lose sleep til this comes! Im a cold steel junkie! Thanks again for your service in the military. I am one of the few men who didnt join in my family., something I regret. Peace!

@@marcrhodes3382 thanks bro and no regerts

@@DonnieBAllDay I wanted to start in the military and end up in the US Marshalls. i went to college for criminal justice. I was eventually called to go to an academy in a relatively quiet, safe, but high pay town. I would be years away from retirement with a great salary and benefits. But my ex wife and my mother were both screaming and crying in stereo at me not to go. One threatened to disown me, the other to divorce me. So i became a plumber. been breaking my back since, and no pension, little money, and no end in sight for my troubles. Yeah, regerts galore. 43 years old with a bad back, on painkillers all the time. Fk it right!? Gotta keep pluggin on. ✌✌🇺🇸💜

@@marcrhodes3382 I feel you in part. The Army broke my spine. Permanent spine damage that can't be fixed. 24-7 pain that spikes at random causing blackouts. I don't take pain medication though. I just live with it making the unbearable, bearable

Any CS dealer. Don't trust Amazon

Yes this blade is made by Windlass Steelcraft of India, under license/contract of Cold Steel. So yes it is in the end a Cold Steel knife. But it might not come very sharp. And yes do not trust Amazon, I think they mostly get factory seconds.

I like the finer things? Haha! The blade is a beast

@@DonnieBAllDay Have you come across the Russian made Kizlyar DV-2? It's basically a Bowie with an awesome choil, large pommel, leather raped handle and guard with holes for making a spear. They claim it's made for Russian special forces, but looks a bit large. It's a beast but there are not many reviews online. I have the Kizlyar DV-2LE version.

I'm a big fan of the brand but I don't have that 1 yet

I love it the way it is. The good thing is that there are many close to it that has alternate profiles. So rather than change this one, I just get to buy more. Haha

You never know when it's going to happen

Gotta love sportin' the facts.

I can guarantee you this, if you hit someone with a back cut, sharpened or not, you're tearing him up. I demonstrated that in a video.

Donnie B All Day I wouldn’t do that but it’s nice to have

Funny you say that. I almost picked up the Steve Austin Broken Skull folder, held it in my hand and didn't like it.

@Dirty 230 I don't remember the African folder. When was it offered and what was it like? Do you mean the Pocket Bushman?

The Kudu folder? Thats the only African folder I can think of that they make.

It was a light skinny folder. Shiny black handle very thin blade. The blade was bent when i got it. So i sent it back. It was many years ago.

Oh I got it. An older model. I was trying to figure it out.

I'm with you on the D Guard. I'm actually looking to buy one from Rough Riders.

They are coming out with the Chaos Bowie soon.

@@dtester I believe its out isn't it?

@@DonnieBAllDay hmmm, you might be right. My favorite stores don't seem to have it yet, though.

Citadel Cambodia BOHLER DNH7 on a large or small knife,you MUST TRY!!!!

Gonna have to give it a peak

Best way to free a hand from a gators jaws!

thanks. Mine too

I think mine was

@@DonnieBAllDay Ok thanks

Its a good'n

Knives have had fullers since before Christ

I suggest you do more research, Joe. Some of them absolutely did!

Cody Johnston honestly, I grabbed it right on eBay.

Oh sweet! I'm a bit worried I might get the older 1055 model though. Guess I will take A chance.

Cody Johnston I dont see you having an issue with either steel really.

Ya, I suppose you're right. I just Ordered one from Amazon, Only because I got the best price there, ( $109.00 + Tax ) free shipping. Like $116.13 All In. I hope its a Good one! Supposed to arrive: Oct.5th 2018 - Oct.10th 2018,... so Now it's a waiting game, LOL. Once again, Thanks for the info and KZfaq Review. "SUBSCRIBED"

@@codyjohnston8074 I got one of the early batches and I had to work on the edge my self. It was pretty dull and I'm sure it was the Manufacturer in India that screwed up. CS offered to sharpen it if I sent it in, but I just did it myself. I'm sure CS had them do it right with the batches afterwards. How did the one you ordered come out?

You might not be that far off....

With this knife, use can mean sitting on it and paddling down a river. It's that great.

Me too!

Its awesome!

@@DonnieBAllDay Got it! This thing is sick AF and will be my emergency weapon and for Zombie time of course

I taked a few times about them, but sporadically. I mostly wear my G-Shock

If I got one in I would. I never had an issue with the Honshu blades, but the handles suck

@@DonnieBAllDay that's good to hear. The Cold Steel handle isn't any better! I wonder if Honshu sources from Windlass as well.

@@DDDYLN not sure

@@DonnieBAllDay I did the research. Honshu also sources this blade from Windlass Steelcrafts. I'd say it's time for a DBAD comparison video. 😃👍

I don't have any of their stuff@@DDDYLN

If the blade has no burrs or the sheath has no obstructions, its just bad. Contact CS

Lefties always get the shaft on reviews. Some blades are just right made and it's up to me to point the southpaws into the right blades! Haha! I love throwing the biggins. I just put up a video of a dagger I made that took me a minute to get to turn right but I can toss it now.

True nuff' about showing the way.im ordering the 1917,as a lefty I prefer a choice in front of me.that ain't going to happen. >/#

@@leoncontorno6763 It's crazy. Check out my vs video between this one and the Natchez Bowie. It has an ambidextrous sheath for us southpaws.

Leon Contorno bowtie?

@@gulfrelay2249 I didn't catch that at first. Haha! We all do it, we all know we do it and it still sucks when we get caught! I'm the king of accidental misspells.

Lansky LKC03 sharpening system

I don't envy you. I wouldn't be able to choose. But if it's a pure fighting knife? I'd choose the Natchez Bowie. The edge on the 1917 though is hair splitting fine. Pretty even with the Ka Bar in different ways. The Natchez is a bit of both.

I would just Google it and see who has one in stock

It's a banger for sure

A bit different

I'm as me as I can be

Mine is 1085 as are all the new ones

@@DonnieBAllDay Really? I sure would love to add one to my collection. Is the finish as beautiful as it looks? How durable is it? The new finishes are pretty good. I bought a few of their Tanto Recon 1s in XHP and they are gorgeous. Like a blued Python finish on a knife.

@@johnroberts6695 the finish is fantastic. Mine is still on without compromise.

The 1055 models are the machetes like the black bear Bowie. The frontier Bowie has always been high carbon 1085

that there is what we call a damn good question

Its awesome

I'm not a big fan of of trench knives but I love machetes. I like making my own

No. This knife is a paid homage to a frontiersman blade. This Bowie wasn't created until the modern era.

Said the same thing standing in front of his grave and kneeling on the spot he was killed.

Yeah it is!

Everyone who is a knife guy needs one of these

So true 👍

It really depends on what you want it for and how it will be carried. If it's going on a belt as a camp knife, the Case. If you're putting it in your pack and you really need to decimate a family of small trees, the Cold Steel. Also think about your conditions. If you plan on it getting wet daily, the Case may be better.

@@DonnieBAllDay awesome thanks for the quick reply! case it is lol

@@twistedenjoyment You're going to love it.

yes

@@DonnieBAllDay nice

You can find these all day on eBay. I forget how much but they don't break the bank

Plow right through the ribs steel. Haha

Thanks bro. Actually just did a video comparing it to the Natchez Bowie.

I love it

Absolutely

Thanks bro, you're going to love it!

Donnie B All Day thanks again, this was a really really detailed good review. Even my wife liked it. I subscribed you ;-)

@@K1-Classics I appreciate it. And what this tells me is that your wife is really smart with impeccable taste. Haha!

Donnie B All Day hey bro, i ordered this beast. Shipment takes 5 days. Can’t wait to finally receive it. Well, where did you get the knife from? Amazon? I nearly bought it from amazon but i saw reviews and comments in the internet where the people complain about low quality and even scratches after unpacking etc etc. did you ever experience problems with replicas? finally i found a trustworthy reseller from Finland. Do you know what version you got? I ordered a high carbon 1085 version.. up to 1090... the ppl say that a 1055 version exist too. Do you know what they are talking about?

@@K1-Classics they started making them in 1085 in 2018. Improved the steel. I only buy from places in the states. Most replicas come from over seas, but mainly from China. I get a lot of stuff from ecop on Ebay. Good prices and trusted seller.

absolutely.

You now own a beast!

@@DonnieBAllDay And a little part of America history 😉

6 cars, one of only 1800 ever made Harley, a scooter and 2 dirt bikes. And I'll buy any knife! Haha!

I own it and I want it!!

@@DonnieBAllDay im jealous now.....

Eventually I hope to get that one I believe they still make it .

@@harveybeekerthegreysquirre8262 They do and you can find them in different places

@@DonnieBAllDay awesome thanks for the info.. Killer Cold Steel collection btw.. But no 3V Master Tonto . I've got the Recon Tanto in SK5 I definitely like it but Cpm 3V would be very nice to have.
