Yes, as a Cold Steel, one-piece drop forged Bowie owner, I confess to doing all the same things haha. Brilliant video, thank you!

He makes levelling up look easy

Thanks for this accurate peak at knife life. I usually just chop & split branches in the backyard but if milk cartons are your thing - why not !

One of the greatest philosophy channels on KZfaq.

I’m really happy you’re making a lot of content again, good-sir. For the last couple years, you’ve been my favorite creator. 👍🏻👍🏻 from the states 🇺🇸.

Always uplifting watching you have fun in the sun while I’m freezing me “ARSE” off on the other side of the world. You’re ancestors would be proud...

Cuddling with my Marauder while watching this makes me happy. All perfectly sharpened to 17 degrees per side now. The factory edge needed a little improvement. She's so nice to cuddle with.

Pete, your musical choices are an endless source of joy.

Always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

May I just say, that was an uplifting production. You've given me a potential use for my Asobi.

Yes, that was worth the money. I actually need one, i think i have one plastic bottle somewhere..

The joy when you finally find something to cut with your big, dumb knife is real though.

😂 This was me yesterday with my bark river shining Mtn Bowie 😂😂

I love enormous knives. They tend to freak people out, which is kind of fun.

The sheath taps got me.

1790 pro’s and con’s are a big pro to watch this channel! Pete’s Best Works! 😂😂😂

I would definitely carry it on your right like a gladius. Cross draw seems correct until you stick it in your left hip by accident.

Yes! I also recklessly and needlessly purchased a big knife. Waiting on delivery. Cold Steel Trailmaster in 3v. EXCEPT I have a 3 week outdoor trip planned. Plenty of innocent trees to menace and fires to make!

I'd just wear it around, the opportunities for use will reveal themselves. Spreading butter and honey on a crumpet? why yes

LOOOL at the 1790s cons 😂. I too have gone through a similar pros and cons thought process when considering a time when open carrying weapons was the norm.

😂 this really brightened up washing the dishes.

Just a head’s up 15V PM2s are dropping right now. Good luck with the hunt!

Hey Pete just want to say that after a long hiatus of about 3 years I'm finally starting to fall back in love with this hobby and your channel is definitely helping that process haha. Thanks for your content man

I love your honest take on life as a knife guy. So spot on!

LOVE my 1917 Frontier Bowie... 💙

Great music choice! Innocent, inquisitive and simple. The new boy reason I don’t have a giant Bowie knife is I don’t have any milk jugs to chop. You are truest rich!

Old pumpkins make good targets and are great for the chooks.

Your the best, definitely had a lot of the same thoughts carrying a big knife. Thank you

Best video of 2023! 🤣

Have you been spying on me? 😆

Did anyone else read the "great success" at the end in a Borat voice? 🤣

That. Was. Wonderful 👍

Amusing as always, thank You!

I really felt that one lol Looks like e all have these kind of moments and thoughts in front of our collection. Greetings from Belgium!

I was going to say something like 'the Perfect Companion to every Gentleman's Enfield Rifle' but was too involved in watching to see if your glasses would eventually slide off. 🤣

Glad im not the only knife nut that loves SNES and Chrono Trigger.

The man knows his audience I’ll give him that

Haha! Having fun man. That’s the best way to do it!

These are my looking knives. Let's do a try on the bowie. Nice. This will be my having knife.

Definitely happy time.

Hey, Pete. Can you make a video on Australian knives? Do we have any makers who make knives akin to LT Wright and Bark River and such?

Happy time!

I find the larger knives work well for limbing lower dead spruce branches. That does not seem to be a problem in your area but your demonstration is still real life use for you and AKB.

Great, thx! 😁

Oh my god, you nailed it :-)

Knives are awesome.

GREAT SUCCESS!

That reminds me. Gotta get milk this week. Thanks!

So relatable

My day exactly.

You don't get enough Crocodile Dundee jokes.

Shintaro would love your skills.😂

u did it

One of the best things I’ve ever seen! 😂Laughing my actual ass off…

God damn it, I love you Pete

😂 love it!

G'day Pete, what, .......... no drop bears in your area ? Had to stop notch'n the handle scales for each kill, good grip now, but if I keep go'in there'll be no handle. Cheers Duke.

Can you do a cut test with ar rpm9 from cjrb/artisan cutlery please

😂 Glad I'm not the only weirdo knife nerd.

Would be interested to see you test and review the Aussie made Smoko Designs pocket knives

Classic!

Good old style. Brief and Witty

Crocodile Dundee approves this video. 🤠👍

Maybe not relevant now, but in the wild frontier days of the U.S and Australia, this knife and a rifle just might help you (and your family) survive for a while.

This is me Everytime i sharpen my big knives

Works good when youre in close with some invasive Rhododendron.

Link to blade?

What are uses of bowie knife?

Cold Steel level of video! Do you have a pig carcass nearby?

Touche happy day!

I especially like the pros and cons of 1790s life 😅

Weapons of this length or longer are traditionally worn on the left & cross drawn my friend.

This is me and the Terävä Skrama. I haven't ever needed to use it but I've massacred a lot of small trees.

Man, i miss a good JRPG card minigame right about now.

Ostrich or emu head taker

Beware of the revenge of the bottles… they might challenge to see how many you can cut in one slash!!!

ok, coupla things: 1. I own the same knife. If you have any suggestions for fixing the frankly awful grip that feels like trying to throttle a Nokia 3315, I'm all ears. Seriously, let me know if you fix to replace it because I'd love to hear. 2. To understand this fuckin thing, I think you need to watch some videos about bowie fencing. Some bowies are practical, some are big, but this thing is ludicris, and adhering to some archaic fighting style is about the only thing I can think of that explains it. 3. Homestead is coming along great. The Obligatory Boomer Palm is still alive so that's great for you. 4. Love seeing that Space Force Ka-Bar. Makes me smile every time

Here in the US, we use it for fighting.

Next up, cold steel extra long oyabun san mai

The use for having a large fckoff Bowie knife is... having a large fckoff Bowie knife

Throw them 👍

Hmm..this gives me ideas for my genuine Australian WW2 machete....must practice...hehe...

That knife would've shinned in the trenches of W.W.1.

I feel so seen

sir if you are going to uuuuuuse that knaif,you need a handle bar mustache and a mullet..or darleeeeneeee is gonna get upset

It's pretty bad that the last con point of living in the 1790s is still around in the modern US.

What’s the name of the knife? I want one. 😅

$260+ polearm mod when, Civvie?

250 dollarydoos!? That's like $18 US. Expensive knife!

I thought for sure you were going to cut some cheese.

Hows the basement knife lab these days?

Bad news Pete: $259 flushed…..and laydees aren’t that innovative 😎

Hahahaha I can feel this video

Boredom Defeated!

da best way to use a bowie is to open letters with it ........ i do it all da time ......

😆👍

Great video, though I found it a bit chatty. 😆

1:18 PAUSE. Read the fine print. It's educational FFS.

secondary price will be $260 in 6 months... sound financial investment!

😮😂😂😂😂
