Beautiful Bowie knives. The Lile and the Randell are my favorites. Great collection!
@johndilday1846 2 ай бұрын
Bowie knives are my favorites. The last one I picked up on a whim is a Muela. It has a carbon steel blade that is razor sharp. For a knife with such a large blade, it has great balance and a lively feel to it. I have some that are heavy and slow to use, but not this one. There are so many variations on the style, I just find them fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool Bowie collection. I have the CS Recon Scout in CPM3V and the Marauder, 1917 Frontier Bowie, Ontario SP10 Marine Raider Bowie. Love all. I wish I could get my hands on the CS R1, it's basically like the Randall but by CS.

Always love Bowie knives, have the Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie, which perfectly matches the style and finish of the bayonet for my Enfield Jungle Carbine.

I agree with you on bowie knives. I've been told that they are too big to be practical but I have to disagree. Having used them since I was a teenager some 50 years ago. I can do pretty much anything with my trailmaster or my buck frontiersman that I can do with a smaller knife plus a lot more .

All very nice. The smaller Randall is stainless steel, as indicated by the S.

Bark River makes some very nice blades, including Bowie styles.
@babarama283 Ай бұрын
The S actually means the blade was made for Randall in Soligen, Germany.

On modern Randall knives, the S next to the Randall logo indicates stainless. Look it up.

I'm thinking the smaller Randall is a #1 I use plain ol vaseline for protection on my carbon bladed knives that I carry. I don't have to worry about poisonous chemicals if I need to cut edible things. Give it a quick wipe beforehand and it'll be ready to use Thanks for the video

It´s funny, how small the Waidblatt looks in hickock´s hand - even though it´s a real big knife 🙂. The Puma Waidblatt knife was developed around WW2 for big game hunting in Europe. Usually used in a set with a smaller knife like the Puma hunters pal or a nicker, it was/is used for the harder parts of gutting pigs or deer. Especially the older models have a high collectors value. Thanks again for your nice videos!!

What makes a knife is the type of steel it's made from. There is a balance to be attained between hardness of the steel and how hard it is to sharpen. A good, sharp three inch blade, is far better than a six inch blade of inferior steel. If you don't watch the quality of the steel you can get screwed by the advertised hype.

Nice knives. Quite a collection. But Bowie knives are impractical for anything more than wall displays. But you seem to like the way they look, so that's all that matters.

Not exactly: Jaeger in Germany amd Austria is used for a person who is involved professionally with hunting supervision, as a game warden. Hunter is Waidmann, and Waidblatt means, broadly, "hunting leaf". Wonderful knife!
