Newsflash - knives are not armor. Unsubbed from this childish idiocy.

17:57 Now That is unexpected! A metal guard underneath the plastic? Whoever designed this knife went all out. Amazing design.

because of this review i found my Bowie Machete! you're great Joe X

How to find Joe in the forest? We must follow in the footsteps of the discarded scabbards.

I just bought this because Joe told me cold steel bowies were the dog's bejewels and seeing him shoot it with the steyr aug is like watching a boy become a man before your eyes. Nice video, thanks for extrapolating the design weaknesses of these things in a non-theoretical way we can all understand.

Once again JOE X, you've helped me make up my mind about what to buy. I was thinking, even with all the bullet holes, the blade could be straitened, and with a little file work,it could be used again. And a grip/handle could be made out of wood scraps and Duct tape. See you at the next vid.💥🤟🤟🤟🤟💥

I own a Black Bear Bowie! Decent little machete. That is one way of taking a car window out🤣 I worked in a junk yard when I was a young man and I can tell you first hand that them glass shards are nasty stuff! Awesome video !!

I purchased this Bowie over others based on your brutal test. I prefer strength and durability over shiny finishes. Thanks JOE X

Really gives away the "How it did?" When it has bullet holes all over it.

Another classic review. I didn't see one German comment and read them all, so maybe I'll stop posting a German translation. I'm on the fence about getting this one. It's currently $37.14 on Amazon. Seems a bit high given what I've paid for other Cold Steel machetes. But then, those have gone up in price too. Loved the funny responses to the priss (that stormed off from your "childish idiocy." Great that you pinned it. You've got a serious group of loyal fans!

Este video cumplió mis espectstivas? No, las superó por lejos. Muchas gracias bro, ya puedo morir en paz. Hiciste una revisión a la altura de este machete, el nuevo rey de los machetes. Saludos desde Chile

JoeX beats this blade lika a grizzly bear beats salmon on the cold river rocks... This fish may be dead but smells fresh! 🎉😊

This was the video I was waiting for! Thanks Joe X.. I have a lot of Bowie's but the Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie is the the one I would take with me during the apocalypse.. along with the Cold Steel Jungle Machete! It did much better than I thought it would! Salute!

Wow, did even better than i thought. I'm glad i bought one of these. Thank you JOE X

Crazy how machetes are now the king of knife durability, just as long as the handle holds up. A pity the gladius handle broke off, this one looks great though.

It was a tough soab that one! Deserves a beer to celebrate! Awesome video again Joe!😎

One of the finest comedies on KZfaq. You really worked your butt off making this one.

No 'temper' in this knife. Thank you 👍

This blade kicked our ass ! Awesome test !

MUCHAS GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO JOE saludos desde ARGENTINA

This is one of the best Cold Steel products, along with their Jungle Machete. I bought mine like 5 years ago. It was like $22. They were discontinued for a long time, but Cold Steel brought them back.

Love it joe x killing it 👏

Great Video my Friend 👍

Cold Steel, one of my favorite blade makers!

Wow. I love Cold Steel. Great video.

i see the vids are back up again

ah yes, i see..it's the swiss cheese edition😂

Great job friend 👏👏👏

The cold steel machetes are one series they got right, perhaps the handle material could be better like they used to do on them. Still a great machete line up by CS, I have several. 👍💯😎

Man I like your videos a lot! I bought a black bear machete after watching it.

Awesome video ad always Joe 👏🏽 👌🏾 👍🏽 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Excelente, esse vídeo até diminui minha enxaqueca Ainda prefiro o Bowie machete, sem frescuras, grande mas muito confortável e ágil de manusear

Holy shit. That's one tough bowie. Might be the knife I've been looking for. I had been leaning towards lower and lower carbon for my survival knives, and suspected 1050 might be the ticket. Wondering if there is a stainless equivalent. Maybe 420HC. Or 4034. Ironically, the cheaper steels are tougher than the expensive stuff. They just don't hold an edge as well. But a broken razor-blade isnt worth much, lol. I think this would make fantastic sword steel. Thanks for the great vid. EDIT: I bought this knife, and wow it's a good life, and it has its purposes I wouldn't classify it as a buoy. It's definitely more machete quality, although although the blade thickness might be a 30-second inch or half a millimeter thicker. Edge grind is incredibly coarse. So much so, that the edge had filings hanging off it thst made it seem like it was a serrated edge. Lol. And the handle was very slick.. All that said. I wrapped the handle, and sharpened it, and it will go into the tool stable and we'll be good for climbing saplings and heavier machete work. A great, cheap beater blade. But a heavy bladed bowie, it ain't. 😁

Became a Swiss knife :D

Awesome performer, amigo! I immediately bought one of the last online available in Germany … I love the compact machetes and the Tanto style 1055 is also awesome! 🍻 Nice underground action as always! 😉

Marlboro!!!

Another one to add to my buy list! :)

You could sharpen that with a ball peen hammer and a makeshift anvil. To straighten it - just add a couple of hardwood sticks to the hammer and anvil.

Sweet! Had bo idea they were this tough. I had a katana machete from cs, but couldn't get it sharp to save my life. And it rusts just sitting in my closet. I wish it was more rust resistant and was able to sharpen it. Also the handle texture chafed my hands badly even through gloves. This is an amazing and ironic test compared with my experience. I found the Schrade Priscilla machete to be a winner. I chopped down a few small tough trees with it, hit rocks and everything, but no damage at all. 65mn steel

11:45 the knife was trying to escape your wrath by flying away and it was thwarted by that darned tree 😂

1055 steel is tough usually use in hammers but, Cold steel of course did not temper it properly hence why tip is shit and bends like a rubber band... Great job as always Joe 👍

El machete es bueno gracias Joe X por el video.

Fantastic ! What’s next ?

Otro gran video del buen compadre Joe X, saludos desde mexico ,cuando vas a poner a prueba el cold steel 1917 frontier bowie???

Damn, that is one hell of a machete. Or Bowie. Machete Bowie or Bowie Machete. I might get one someday.

Best review channel ever 👍🏻🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who was visiting you and talking? I always wonder what would happen if someone saw this man in army fatigues and a gas mask stabbing a knife in to a smashed up car 🤣

not expensive knife BUT very cool !!! zombinator for sure

Great Vidéo once again. Amazing blade. What would you choose beetween this one and the royal kukri?

Nice

Good.

For pushing through shrubs, saplings, and overgrowth. That thing has badass truck knife written all over it. Fuck it, I'm gonna get one to play around with.

joex is one dangerous fool

Got one of these and it’s blade was branded Cold Steel and it had the cold steel sheath but it was branded made in China on the blade instead of South Africa

Top 10 Joe moments

No Pro No Pro 😂 19hours 17:37

D4mn, it won't break, you were cold forging it into a whole other blade with all those impacts, haha.

JOE X, cuando puedas echales un vistazo a los cuchillos Españoles de la marca HYDRA con acero sleipner.

👍 supr video

Hey brother JoeX has anybody called you about your cars extended warranty by chance? Hahahahaha that and I sure hope your insurance is paid up on it could you imagine what the insurance adjuster would say if he shows up and sees this car!?!?! 😂😂😂

Have you tested a SOG bowie? I'd like to see you test a dustar isreali combat knife also!

I got one of these, came with the cold steel brand on the blade and sheathe but it was made in China not South Africa

Not for punching holes in steel I see

Interessante que podemos dar um upgrade no cabo, com micarta e pinos tubulares

My new incoming purchase, I have to save up abit lol

Waiting for Busse test.

They are now made out of 1065c would like to see how they hold up with the new steel

The tips of the CS Bowie machete and Black Bear Bowie machete are very thin. Really thin. Hence the quick bending. You have to actually put a belt sander on it before using it, to make it stronger. Get rid of the extreme fine tip. Fine tip s good for fighting/stabbing. But too fine makes it vulnerable. I hated the handle on the Black Bear Bowie machete and Smatchet machete. Same handles. Slick, when stabbing in hammer grip, the hand slides onto the guard (regular Bowie machete is better). Romans had those ridges on their Gladius handles ,and also in the middle of the Pugio handle , a thicker part. On traditional Kukri's also a thicker part, ridge, in the middle of the handle. No sliding. But not very comfortable. I prefer the TPE layered handles of modern times.

what do you think about the TOPS USMC combat knife ?

Il est bien balaise ce couteau !👍

Damn. Not gonna lie, it disappointed me how it performed compared to other CS machetes. I do hope the whole line of machetes didn't lower the heat treatment standard and this one was just a bad apple. Still, good video Joe.

I didn't think this machete was full tang at first I thought it was a rat tail tang.

Joe to god of the fire video💥🫲😂 my brother welcome malboro❤

It is a useful review. Even though it's tiring, consumers Will not be sold by tube manufacturers. May God reward you brother. How many inches long is the blade? How many inches wide is the blade? How many millimeters thick is the spine of the knife?

Joe xman 👉👽

Good knife

thx Joe for that channel. it always makes my day in reading the comments. only experts and fighters ............🤠🤠💩💩hahaha

do you have any suitcase nukes? ssems like SOMETHING should be able to kill that blade! 😂

I was considering it when it cost ~20€. Eh, good times

Cold steel is always good. Please make a destruction the $6 GWH bolo-machete next time

What's up my brother, I hate to change the subject but I was just looking at the Tops website and my jaw dropped numerous knives at $300.00 or close with 1095 steel. Ok is it just me or is that ridiculous. Thanks bud and great video.

hey Jooee :), nice one ;). Would you try later the "new" Ka-Bar Fighter 1269? Good week end to you ;)

Another Fantastic Tortured Fuckin Knife...Awesome results Excellent testing 👏 I'm buying 2 of them!

Don't get the hate, you're awesome and DBK loves you

Tu as cette fois ci bien regarder qu’il n’y avait pas d’arbre en suspension 😋😁

👍👍👍

Be careful chopping down trees, I think the forest is plotting revenge on you.

Hello Joe X, the knife Destroyer! From what I see these Cold Steel hybrid Machete Swords are virtually indestructible. Where the regular CS Bowie knifes broke into several pieces this and this and the other CS hybrid Machete Knife Swords do not break! So, I am thinking of a emergency survival last ditch big knife for Bear, Wild Boars, Mountain Lion, Leppard etc, attacks this CS Black Bear Bowie Machete or other CS hybrid Machete Swords might be the best choice of an effective bladed poihted instrument for emergencies from dangerous animal attacks. I want to ask you based your extensive experiences in testing various cuttlery, do you feel this Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie Machete is it just as good or better than an actual Bowie or another long knifes? As to be able to effectively thrust into and penetrate deep into thick Bear Fur,Fat,Flesh? I also think the CS Barong Machete is an excellent overall option. What says JoeX? Danke!

I like this blade...sadly I don't know if the quality is still there

9:00 Mutant level speed

Im surprised that it when through such torture Joe !

11:40 Minus one Fanboy. Speaking of fanboys, they will say it's a fake, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to break the tip.

I want to buy one but I would flatten out the clip point and just make it a flat edge so it's more of just a drop point. Most clip points are so ugly they make my stomach turn.

Also if you want to make your 9mm rounds penitrate the steel then just use hollow point rounds and superglue a steel BB in the hole at the tip instant armor piercing ammo! 😂 works well for hollow pointed pellets anyways 🤷‍♂️

The handle is similar to the smatchet

🙂👍

Solltest Härtetest für cold steel machen.
