I had a revelation about knives and found that Bowie knives are the best. I ordered a cheap one and got a cheap one. Now that I’ve been stung I want to have one that is $150 quality. Something like the cold steel 1917 frontier or the white deer extreme xxl Bowie. I like the clip point design the most with a saber or hollow grind.

Great video!...How do you store your knives when not in use?
@tubes51503 ай бұрын
I used to just keep in their sheaths and put away in a box . But it depends on the steel . Carbon can rust . So if storing in a sheath , make sure to wipe some oil on the blade first - then put in sheath . I have over 500 knives to worry about . If I only had a dozen , I would take the blade , wipe with oil , put in an old sock , and rubber band to its sheath . I think that’s the best way . Wrap in a cloth .

I will always have a soft spot for the classic Buck (number 9), but I would say number 3 the Falkniven might be the best one of the lot... unless you are fighting orcs and goblins, a Big Bowie is a bit impractical for everyday use (at least for me). But I do understand the appeal.
@tubes51503 ай бұрын

I ordered a 3V TM a few days ago from Midway for $238 delivered with their 10% discount for registering. Yesterday they had a sale for $216 and they are offering a 25% coupon on knives. Hot damn!!! That makes the Coldsteel Trail Master 3V $163, or $176 delivered. So I got a second. Wtf could I do? So I got 2 for $400. If one is over-gound I will return it. It seems to be a quality issue recently. But if both are perfect, I will keep both. Btw, today the sale price jumps from $216 to $349!!!! WTH???? I, think my price was a fluke.
