I have been waiting for this day. The reminder notification has been clicked, and now I wait patiently. And yet, the thumbnail stares back into me, with a kind indifference that I cannot tell is infatuation, or pity. I begin to day dream of the pithy and sarcastic remarks that will be made in the video, but I cannot truly guess the genius. Before I know it hours have gone by, and yet the same pictures stares at me, unmoving, unblinking, and immortal. Look upon this thumbnail ye mighty, and despair! Then I realized I have law school finals this coming week so I have to study. But looking forward to the vid Advanced Knife Bro! I'm a new subscriber and have been watching a ton of your previous videos!

Sometimes you just need to do it, you know?

"Real knives of course, are measured in feet." Advanced Knife Bro, 2019 A suiting epitaph for Jim.

"How big a bowie is too big?" *laughs in texan*

Reminder on, dry humor set to max. Let's go!

Looks like a great edc knife.

I don't know why but I'm going thru some "cowboy" phase in my early twenties. I want a Bowie, A Ruger Vaquero, A Henry Rifle, so I've been looking into reviews cause I simply want the best, and thank you for the review of this beauty of a Bowie. It's going into my cart after seeing the beating it took in this video

Man, I was waiting for that Lynn Thompson image to spring into action like a Monty Python animation, all singing and dancing while stabbing monsters with its enormous blade...

I can't remember who said it but I heard a quote I liked that went that the bowie wasn't really good for processing wood, but was great was for processing people.

If you don't fight a bear to the death it's not a real test.

If this knife lasts as long and works as hard as my Western W49 I bought in Lander, Wyoming in 1984, then you've got a real gem, my friend! That knife has been with me on many a hunt for elk, deer, antelope and even a few coyotes. I didn't chop much wood with it, as I always had my hatchet with me, but that blade can hold an edge longer than any of my other knives. God bless!

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I must say its a refreshing take on all the stale knife vids on KZfaq. You Sir are informative and entertaining. Good job....you got a new sub in me. 👍

That's the the most amusing knife review I have ever seen! The graven image of Lynn...refreshing humor.

When Lynn Thompson makes a production knife model just for you: Advanced Knife Bro

Great to have your reviews back, always a treat!

Alas! I am so woke now. The Lynn vibes hit me right in the feels. Everytime I baton a log, I will sing his praise.

I'm giddy with meat shoe anticipation

Dude, your review was so loaded with dry, spot on humor I kept laughing out loud, bravo sir, very funny and great review at the same time, love the look and design of this new Cold Steel, definitely on my to get list, cheers.

Just got an original w49 Bowie with near perfect condition sheath. A truly awesome knife.

Hope your move goes well and your father in law doesn't judge you too harshly for going out in the woods by yourself to chop on wood with a knife that looks like it came straight out of red dead redemption

Man, your commentary is funny.... but the graven image of LT had me laughing till the tears started leaking on my naked carbon steel...

I think Lynn is AKB's uncle. I've seen AKB do some pretty fancy Filipino footwork.

In awe with the size of this lad. Absolute unit!

Lynn has smiled upon thee, a Western Bowie from the Far East in its natural habitat (Adventureland, Disneyland CA). Well done!

My all time favorite video my man!! May Lynn richly bless you!!

Thanks for the preview of yet to come.... keepem coming

GREATEST BIG WILLY STYLE TRIBUTE EVER!!! THANK YOU LYNN!!!

I have the western Bowie from my grandpa and it’s a great knife! I also have the Ontario marine raider which I modified by taking the coating off the blade and grinding the top part of the guard off. It’s also a great blade!

Just ordered one Tuesday, should be here tomorrow. I’m excited to get it. My uncle always had a big bowie that looked just like that on his hip.

I should buy one of these as it allows for preservation of my real Western W49 m, painstakingly restored to brilliant mirror/brass/rosewood glory. But it's so damn good at Bowie knife chores! Original W49 are not 16 inches or hollow grind. Still a great blade it appears. So I can add this model to my buy list, because I love owning many big awesome knives & this is far from my biggest.

I saw an image of that knife on my toast this morning!

I love your videos you give me a great honest opinion on how you feel about your knifes

Your wonderfully dry Croatian humour carries well, great vid. Please include some images of your village in the next vid. Cheers

Ur funny and keep whacking that log I love your intros and everything u stand for. Keep up the good work i love ur chopping and talking skills

I would totally buy one of these if I didn't already own an old Western W49. I also have one of those Trailmasters, very good knife as well but I favor my W49, it's a very comfy knife to wield plus it just looks great.

I have 2 Western W49 and what used to be a $50 dollar knife is now a $300 (or more) collector blade . My Cold Steel bowie arrived 2 months ago and after almost completely removing the top guard - greatly reducing the bottom guard and milling a choil = One heck of a good knife for the outdoors or self defense . Thanks for your video Bro .

The perfect birthday gift tomorrow. Advancedknifebro video.!

I have a 1970s w49B version that I've had and used heavily sense I bought it from brand new when I was a kid. I carried it during my military time and it still holds an edge. It's seen its share of hard use, the blade is slightly pitted from me painting it flat black (during military) I've sense polished it out the original sheath unfortunately got moldy from the many times being submerged and rained on while being on my hip in the service. Even with being oiled up during a couple of year storage, so looking for a replacement sheath for it. Anyway it's always been my go to for camping, military, and general use and is always close by lol. Mines closing in on 50 years old and still gets that holy crap that's a big blade when I show it to someone new to me and share some of its stories and where it's been with me on my adventures. It's patina and hard use are what give it that look. The handle is perfect for my big hands and the weight is what makes it so useful. Other blades have been added but this is still my favorite.

Great review as always Bro!

I didn't go to church this week, but I did watch the video until the end

"which brings up this knife..." Lmao. Great video! I watch them all.

"I'm sure they regret letting me marry their daughter which brings up this this knife". That seamless segue was amazing.

Thank you for an awesome review!

Hahaha! Lynns long flowing locks and Christlike demeanor. Awesome! Great vid bro, keep them coming.

When the AKB gets to hackin'... there's No Quit In Him! Gotta love that!

I enjoyed this video and I strongly enjoy your humor. I planned to purchase the 499 but I have come to the decision to get both the 499 and the Marine Raider as well.

I own one. It's one of those things you don't believe until you actually hold it.👍

I wanted to comment on this video. But can’t compete with the funny, witty remarks. Damn I suck... lol but at least I got to comment. Keep emm coming man. Love the videos and the comments.

Crossguard on mine loosened after chopping . I took off my handles it was welded but the weld cracked . I used jbweld put it back together no problem since fixing it the jb will hold forever they are all going to need it done wasn't done right when made I may even solder it like Randall does later using low temp solder on the outside just for looks the jb will hold by itself I'm sure

Is this what knife heaven is like? I love your vids man! Lol

Lol 😂 your channel always brings a smile to my face

Can't wait to watch this dude whack wood at the same time as other dudes. Very advanced KZfaq bro!

Best review I've ever seen

The narration was worth the view alone!

This guy is hilarious. Love the reviews man. Keep them coming 🤠

Darn good review and I enjoyed the cynical humor. Subscribed. I'm watching eBay auctions for a nice vintage W49, but it wouldn't hurt to own one of these, too.

Wacking against hard wood. Brings the 13 year old out of all of us.

Praise Lynn for this AKBro video we are about to receive.

My cross guard is/was brazed on. I know this because I took everything apart so as to hot blu it. Reassembled, I shall send it out to have Veff serrations added, resharpened. I like to make sure my mods cost more than the blade but in my defense, I’m a veteran with it’s and most people don’t give me a hard time about it. 👍🏼

The Bark River V44 is coming up again later this year, and having been lucky enough to hold one in a store, you should get one if you can. It's so well balanced that it feels uncannily light and fast for its size.

AKB shows us a picture of Lynn and is batoning wood, while a stream is gently flowing in the backround...he finally reached ASMR level!

A good ol Bowie knife and a 10 mm pistol to go into the woods at any time...GREAT REVIEW.

My favourite knife dude on yt. Gonna go out in backyard and baton recklessly in your honor. Advanced cheers bro 🍻

Love the knife but hate the cross guard so I think when I get mine it will have a date with a hacksaw and a set of files to make it more like the Marine raider.

"Im sure they regret letting me marry their daughter, which brings up this knife..." Thats it, im subbing.

Great video!

Who knew wood chopping by a babbling brook could be so relaxing? Go with Lynn, AKB

Looks great! While a touch bigger and not quite as elegant in the lines as the W49 it's certainly a worthy homage!

The wobbly guard on your Ontario is easy to fix: jam a toothpick as far in as you can between the guard & handle, then snap it off & snip off any excess. If it still wobbles, repeat on the opposite side. Works like a charm.

Cold steels Bowie is spitting image of my dad's Bowie.

Okay, I'll wait.

The scales can be removed and the guard fixed using jb weld the guard is soldered from the factory but everyone I've seen came loose it's not hard to fix mine came loose the first day I fixed it the next and have been using it for a year it's still tight .

I'm honestly kinda curious to see what this would do versus a W-49 I just happened to kill my knife budget for a while with ordering a w-49 recently

Disliked the knife, but love the typical sarcasm. Torn? Well, I should think so. Nice to see a vid from Cali, where that very knife will probably be illegal to own, if not already, due to its high potential for a possible large capacity magazine and threatening demeanor.

Bro sick fades you need to do a denim review

Lynn is just one of a kind

I've only watched a few of your video reviews. But your commentary is always brilliant and funny. Keep up the great work. Coming from Australia a big knife is always impressive "That's not a knife, this is a knife". Just kidding. I would never carry a knife like this.

Nice tunes!

Damn I want the video now

Great video.. awesome script as always 😆👍 it’s pretty beefy blade.. not a bad bargain.. definitely looks good

Cannot wait

I've actually got a Western Bowie knife. Made in Boulder Colorado USA. Made before the Vietnam war era. I carry it everyday. I'm a Texan.

Looking forward to learning some sweet advanced knife bro balisong like tricks in the leatherman free p4 review.

Praise the Lynn!

The Messiah Thompson would be proud.

I wanna get that knife and put a good old gun blue on it. I think it would look gorgeous!

I had to wait to watch this one. Mom said I had to do my chores before KZfaq. Her basement. Her rules.

Dude you are hilarious. Great review

"Tang Deep" ...Yup, just found me some new man slang

A loose cross guard is a deal breaker. How am I supposed to repel boarders from my front porch with this?! I guess I'll go with the Bark River Shining Mountain Bowie! Not because it sounds like a Dio song, but because it's an absolute beast. Great video guy, as usual. ;)

Considering buying one for my birthday

Have owned a W49 since 1972. Have had a loose guard since 1972. Annoying but no looser in 50 years... Keep choppin'

Having withdrawals now, hope all is well !!!

"real knives are measured in feet" made me spit out water.

Thanks Bro, great review as always. Did CS fix the knife or are you just gonna live with it? Would be interested to know about the after sales at CS. There’s too much innuendo in this vid for me to comment on all of it, so I’m not going to. I’ll just give you one, “that’s what she said” I think that covers most of them. I like that there are knives like this out there, it’s not my thing, but I’m happy that I could buy one if I wanted. Cheers.

I bought mine in1972 ..gret knife...little rusty and black now...when i put it in the sheath last year i missed! 10 stitchs on my thigh...fuck i was drunk...stiched it my self..no pain....great vidio son.

Suffering from some serious withdrawal symptoms here Mr. Knifebro. Any chance???

I saw that you were doing a Premiere. I expected you to come out on a red carpet and pose for pictures with the Bowie. Waiting...hoping.

Love your sarcasm

Holy Lynnesus Batman...
