And the handles square so if it's.bloody you can still get a good grip without it rolling in your hand.

That's not a knife thats a knoifs knoif

Mick Dundee would rob your for that if he wanted it.

Master Tracker Thanks!

Master Tracker What did American consumers do?

I'm lucky enough to live within 25 minutes of their HQ. Their Parking lot sales are great!

PREPAREDMIND101 Definitely worth the price of admission. Had mine since day of release, holds an edge well and overall just a simple tough and reliable no "frills" high-value full tang Bowie knife. My only complaint? the back edge of the clip point is unsharpened. I say no frills but this is just accounting for the knife itself of which everything is purpose driven and nothing useless or ornamental on it past the rather impressive blueing and the rosewood wood handle material which is handsomely and uniformly stained, utilitarian but comfortable enough to the hand for protracted use. The sheath, on the other hand, is actually surprisingly authentic / period correct in it's build. Like the Condor sheaths swivels, it is of leather and blued steel construction I would prefer Kydex for field use but this is barring the signature blueing a period correct knife release so the leather sheath it comes with serves it's purpose well enough. I can make a Kydex sheath for it cheap enough but for now, it remains with the provided leather sheath as it does its job well enough especially given how it is wearing and the price point. The upper edge of the clip point being unsharpened from the factory is of course not a "valid" complaint to most of it's users and is to be expected, but I am a bit of a Bowie knife traditionalist. The back edge of the clip point on a traditional bowie is sharpened as it's to be used as more than just a tool, but an effective weapon as well.

Very solid! mine is still factory unmodified past use and stropping, I plan on making a nice Kydex sheath for it and eventually sharpening the clip point. Part of me has been sorely tempted to get a factory second, strip the blueing, polish it up, carve and affix a nice deer antler handle, change the S guard to the more traditional fighting bowie crossada guard ( this will take quite a bit of work!) and either file in blade catch notches to the spine or fit it with a brazed brass strip for such. A considerable sum of work to make a period correct fighting Bowie, but the platform as a whole allows for such and will be a great foundation as the blade stock is of high quality..

I see different steels listed...First batches 1055,then 1095 and now Site claims 1085..Must be the diff..I bought one when they came out,still never used it.Blueberry bluing to pretty.Darn work of art to admire and wipe..Must be the early ones for sale on Ebay for $100... When they discontinued,price went up $250,then market full again..Great thing about cold steel,when models discontinued,huge price hike.

The knife version of a mic drop at the end. Stab and just walk away.

I bought mine unknowingly right around the time of the sale, same thing , total crap piece of junk to, worst finish I ever saw, crisscrossing millwork not buffed out, uneven dull grind that I cant get sharp, terrible rosewood handles, thing came in grease that smelled toxic and shitty, GSM wouldnt help me because I didnt buy it directly from cold steel, said I bought it an a dealer that was not authorized , I asked them for a list of authorized dealers and they couldnt provide that, great service, I dont expect them to be around much longer with the triad patent ending soon , they have zero customer service.

@Fight Fly Crow then you're in luck the only stamping on this blade is underneath the handle and it JUST says cold steel nothing else get one trust me they kick ass 😂

The Natchez Bowie is of a cable tang design ( which is surprisingly stout) and is made of 0-1 high carbon steel, the Frontier Bowie is of a full tang design and is made of 1095 Carbon steel. The Natchez Bowie 's fit and finish is actually quite nice and while being showpiece worthy is a great high-end production Bowie, the 1917 Frontier Bowie, is well built though it's finish is more utilitarian barring the blued steel finish on the knife. The 1917 Bowie feels a little heavier in design which changes the balance of the blade to feel a tiny bit more "nose heavy" this is by no means a "bad" thing as it IS a utilitarian Bowie knife and will aid in leverage for a good chopping motion seen in this video. The Natchez Bowie is a little more balanced towards your hand feeling just a bit more "lithe" in the hand, less useful for chopping but just about the sweet spot for slicing movements.

reignick1133 thanks

1095 high carbon blued steel.

They are made of different steels cold steel for whatever reason changed the blade steel on this model newer versions are 1085 and older versions like the ones floating around for 100$ are older 1055 versions hope this helps

crow 195 yeah same , do you know what steel is used for it ?

Jonny Parker currently i believe its a (blued)1055 high carbon

crow 195 ah right cool , cheers .

crow 195 the originals were 1055 high carbon, the newest batches are 1095 high carbon.

If you buy any cold steel product from eBay or Amazon they won't cover your warranty they do have better deals though I got this knife for 102 on eBay and I've never gotten a fake from eBay

@@williamspetter2823 ive bought a ti lite, a talon, a spartan, a boomerang, blowgun and rajah 2 from amazon, i know they are fine after handling but im always worried when i open the box that it will be a defective product.

@@jonslife3533 , No I can not sharpen it myself. I'm terrible at it. That's why I asked.

@@DasKrampusAirsoft may I recommend getting a lansky or worksharp then ?

@@DasKrampusAirsoft do you own a proper bench stone already? Learning to sharpen knives can be frustrating because it takes a lot of finesse but if you practice on a cheap pocket folding knife for a while you'll get it 👍

Cold Steel actually offers free knife sharpening on all their products. You only pay $5 for shipping your blade. Says so right on their website. Great company.

Ryan Mcgrath , nah I think he's sweating because he's filming in California during the rather warm season and let's face it they are filming a LOT of chopping slicing cutting hacking etc. that's quite a bit of physical exertion in California , in the spring /summer months with studio lighting on them. You'd have to have ice water flowing through one's veins not to sweat in those conditions.

That’s called masculinity.

Dude, I was there! That room was during a heat wave and it was 100+ in that room. So much fun though!

How so? I mean yeah the guys do look silly doing some of this but that's not the point all of these are fair tests of the blade's strength and if nothing else demonstrate that they give you a sharp capable knife from the factory

They are torture tests to demonstrate all the abuse that Cold Steel knives can take. If you want a cheap piece of garbage then just goto your nearest Big Lots and buy a mall ninja blade made out of dumpster aluminum lol.

Yeah but you could literally break one of those knives in half with this knife 😂 I own one they're worth the price just save up if you're that poor
