The Bowie pattern… Intended to lop off hands, fingers and limbs, ending peoples lives… Now we are reduced to chopping wood and shrubbery with it lol, thanks for your effort and review!
I appreciate it man! 100% agree with you!
I am a Cold Steel fan myself, and I have the 1st edition gold Drop Forged Survivalist. It had no handle scales, but I wrapped the handle with tennis and electrical tapes. The knife can cut, chop, whittle, etc! I love it and I have put it through some stuff! This knife, along with my GI Tanto and Tanto Machete, are my go to knives for hard core work in my yard and away from home. By the way, my cousin bought the 1st edition gold Drop Forged Bowie. Nice video and take care.
Hey brother I appreciate you sharing that That's really cool about your cousin! The knife is fantastic I can't say anything bad and I am absolutely a cold steel fan! Thank you for checking it out
how much golden coating left now?
@@Supra_Mare_Cultro_Bloke A good bit. I do see a black layer underneath the gold. I heard that it is another coating.
I love that blade. Hate that pistol grip style grip. Aweful. The straight one is way better.
I just bought this knife. Waiting for it in the mail. I don't care about reviews. It WILL do the job!
It's a great knife and the video showed it will get done I don't like the handles that don't mean it's not a good knife I think you will be incredibly happy
@Me yeah it does. Slicing takes a little getting used to. Buy it. It's classic cold steel .
I love the cold steeldropped forged knives. Good quality at a very decent price
cold steel designs are often simplistic and creative at the same time.
I seriously have well over 60 to 70 pieces of CS and really could be considered a fanboy
I am shocked - I actually like this knife. Handle scales with linen micarta would have been nice. Sheath is fugly but I guess for a budget knife its ok. I bet you 10 bucks someone makes custom scales if its possible to swap em out. Hell you could do it yourself and showcase it. Deer antler or maybe some sort of nice wood would look good. A custom leather sheath would be fun too. Someone could really pimp this knife out.
I own the drop forged survivalist and absolutely love that blade. Decided to pass on this one though. But still like the knife. Merry Christmas Scab and God Bless
Really cool knowledge about local plant life and their uses spread throughout your videos.
Thanks for the cool review. Mine just arrived and I’m a huge fan of it.
Nice!!!!
I've been carrying mine everyday and it really is a nice edc life tool.
Very nice!!
Congratulations on the anniversary!! That thing is actually a beast minus those goofy scales,lol. That’s freakin awesome Scab!!!! I don’t know what to say but,Thank You!!!! And I wish the bestest of holidays for you and yours. Merry Xmas 🎄
Merry Christmas my brother!!
Back in the 90's my friend and I used to go to surplus stores looking for gear that wasn't expensive. One of the things we would look for was old knives. They usually were used and were not in pristine shape. Definitely still in decent shape. Usually we could get them at a very affordable price. Let's say way more affordable than brand new. So one day we're in the store and my friend says maybe we can find some good beater knives. Ever since then that's what I have called them. Great user knives that I'm not gonna cry over if it breaks or is lost. 🎅🎅🎅🎅
Great game plan! Love doing that and I've found a cpl of real treasures doing that as well
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors for sure 👍
Mine has black rubber handle scales. That knife is extremely tough, it's a solid pc of steel. I love the curve in the handle too. The down side is that it gets cold in the winter on the hands.
I could see that for sure. Merry Christmas my brother!!!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors merry Christmas
Just modify the handle scales. Unscrew them from the knife, and either spray paint them with something to give them a bit more grip and a solid color, or forgo them altogether and add a paracord or tennis/hockey tap wrap. I’m more interested in its weight and handling as well as performance and durability, than I am in how much someone does or doesn’t like the scales as they come from the factory. That’s one of the easiest fixes out there.
Congrats Scab, 40 more to 3k....awesome
At 73, I've been a collector & user of all kinds of cutlery, but my greatest passion lies with Cold Steel. I've never had a complaint.
I'm a monster fan of them as well! Great minds think alike or it may be that we have the same last name
Merry Christmas Scab & Meghan hope you have a great Holiday. Great review look forward to what's coming up on the channel for 2022. #22aday Peace Brother
Merry Christmas my Brother!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎅🎅🎅🎅
Merry Christmas my friend!!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors thank you 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏❤❤
Great honest “no bullshit” review!
Much appreciated my friend!
Merry Christmas Brother!!! Hope you and Megatron have a jolly one! Thank you!
.merry Christmas my brother!!
Have a wonderful Christmas
❤️
It is a nice knife but I find that the handle is a little short for me. But it's really sharp and a good chopper. Merry Christmas to you and Megatron Scab!
Merry Christmas my friend!!
Been subbed scabbers lol jus trying catch up vids grandkid born lastnight so yesterday was pretty crazy
CONGRATULATIONS BROTHER!!!!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors much appreciated brother thank you
It is a 100% fighting Bowie and it is designed by Bill Bagwell. It is also meant too be used in the saber grip style. The sheath is made out of glass filled nylon and it duls the edge because of the glass particels. And those sheat are ugly as sin.
It's a great knife I like it very much
You're Scab I'm not, never could be!!! Lmao!!! Love you buddy!!! Will we see you with the cold steel chaos bowie? It's a big Mamba Jamba!!! It's 1 inch longer blade even than this one!!!
I agree with the scales
Make micarta scales that cover the whole of the handle and the guard, makes this a brilliant knife!
Agreed 💯 Percent
52100 is a great steel for a blade! I like that knife...
Merry Christmas to you and megaton! Be safe brother
Merry Christmas my brother!!
awesome bowie
Ordered one of these from Midway and the blade was warped hard right. Got a replacement from Midway and the blade was warped even worse. Ordered one from Amazon and the same thing. I really want this knife for the collection, but the quality control with these right now is absolutely horrible from my experience.
Yeah man if three were like that I'd be hesitant as well That's not a good sign at all. I hate that you had to go through that
I do like the look of this blade and thanks for the shoutout!
Merry Christmas to you and Megatron !! 🎄
Love y’all !!! #22aday
Love you my brother!!! Merry Christmas!!
71.99 on midway for this badboy!!!
Looks like a good knife except for the handle itself and scales. Good demonstrations using the knife. 👍🏻
Damn, that knife gets super sharp, verry impressive.
Very nice bowie
I never knew that that ole strangler fig was a source of water. Learned something!!!
Never liked the looks of this one but it seems to perform well. Great demonstration brother
Merry Christmas! We got just over a foot of snow yesterday, so white Christmas!
Awesome brother! Merry Christmas!
Great video nice blade my friend 👍 👌
Merry Christmas brother scab , I love cold steel but I surely don’t like all the blades they offer , the blade shape I love very much , very good review my brother I loved watching it , take care brother scab love you ❤️
Much love my Brother!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
What do you think of the handle scales?
🙂 just kidding. I wish they used g10 instead, but at least it’s not real stag. Good video 👍
Lol I agree my friend! G10 would have really been dope
The blade looks good but i would have to agree on the scales!! Thanks Scab!!!
It's hard to look at JB!!
I have bunch of 3v cold steel knives but that one in 52100 is the sharpest one in my collection.
Man that 52100 is some good stuff
Merry Christmas Scab !
All the best for you and yor family !!!
Merry Christmas!!
Seems the drop forged knives have shorter handles. I have the boot knife and it’s nice but the handle is short. Doesn’t make any difference to me but it’s noticeable.
I have to agree. Honestly man they could have took one extra step in my humble opinion and this would have been a really really great knife.
Not too bad.
Cut the vine as low as you can to the ground if in a survival situation reason this little thing called gravity and the water is held more at the bottom of the vine. Great video scab keep doing great thing bro
Appreciate you my Brother!! Keep your head on a swivel out there!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors its going to be a bit before we head over, and who knows with all this covid crap. Will keep y'all posted have a happy yule, Christmas, honika 😆
Merry Christmas brother!
Merry Christmas!!
#22aday. Get some Scab. Great vid
Beautiful knife... alll except for those damn scales lol. Would prefer white wrapping grip tape. Feel better.. even look better.
Cold steel is amazing
I'm a fan brother
Nice blade, sharp, the scales I'm not a fan of. Great video Scabo🇺🇸
I bought this knife from Midway a few months back for $36. Didn't need it, but for that price, wasn't going to pass it up.
Ugly as sin handle, what were they thinking??? wrapped around a pretty good blade, honesty always appreciated Scabo...did good on this brother
Appreciate it brother! Dude it's just so damn cheap LOOKING
ti's hilt is a simplified minimalist version of a central Asian Mongolic sabre hilt.
Mighty jumbo blade... I Will buy it!
Yo Scab, is it possible to replace the scales with micarta or know anyone who can make a set of custom scales? That is one awesome looking knife and thinking about getting one, that one along with the Wasp. I should be getting a Jeo Tec No. 37 bushcraft knife in the mail tomorrow. It looks sorta like a Becker BK7 but with a full flat grind like an Ontario Rat 7. It's Spaniard knife but I had to pull the trigger on that one because I'm curious. But you definitely sold me on the DFB. That will be my next one.
Yeah man you can definitely change the scales out. It looks pretty damn simplistic honestly so I don't think it would take a whole lot to do it. And some custom scales would look dope
Thanks for the review, you sold me on this knife and I will definitely be ordering it Friday morning. My No. 37 is out for delivery, and I cannot wait to get it. Do you Think I should do an unboxing video on it? Not big on unboxing vids but I already know & seen what this knife can do and it is my first European made knife so I was thinking about doing that.
@@RiceVillatoro I do think you should man.. Make it just kind of a personal type thing where you give your first impressions I think that would be really good man
I really appreciate that brother. God bless you and I love ALL your knives man, you have by far, the baddest most awesome collection of knives EVER! Some I can't even afford and a few I can't even get here in Canada but I have a few of the same ones you do Kabars and such. Please say Hi to Donny B for me too if you talk to him, He's got a great channel too by the way. If you can ,definitely check out Shawn Ryans channel, not knife-related but still awesome.
@RiceVillatoro I appreciate you very much brother! Thank you for all the love and support it does matter
52100 steel, 9 inch， 110 dollars, what's wrong with Cold Steel? back in 2018, same steel, 6.75 inch bowie, 50 dollars.
You know how they do
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE WHOLE KNIFE COMMUNITY, 🎄🎄
Looks like a nice knife.
Handle aside, looks like a decent knife.
I like it
The scales are the reason I haven't bought one of these.
Exactly!! Merry Christmas my Brother!
Waiting on mine
Waiting on mine. Supposed to arrive 3/13/22. What do you think of your drop forge Bowie since you’ve had it a couple of months?
@@henrybenson1348 I think it’s excellent so far.
Check out my tournament in the tundra video,
That’s where it makes its debut taking on it’s big cousin, The Trailmaster
@@jnzupka
Thanks for the feedback. After the mixed reviews concerning the handle, if you had given a negative answer I was going to cancel the order.
I have medium size hands and always wear a comfortable work type glove, I figure the handle should be fine. Would you send a link to the aforementioned tundra video?
Thanks again. Keep your knives sharp and your powder dry!
@@henrybenson1348 sure

Good review , Merry Christmas , thanks for sharing , God bless ! #22aday #22adaynomore
What is the purpose of the 90 degree spine?
To strike a ferro rod. Basically fire starting in a pinch
@SCAB - Is the finish on the DF Bowie Teflon, like the DF Survivalist?
Brother I do believe it is the same finish I will double check this afternoon
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors thanks SCAB.
Got what. ?.
Is your blade straight? I just got one from amazon and it wanders left near the tip.
Yeah man this one came out well done... I wonder if you just got a one off or something
I give my dog that same food!
It's awesome!!
Do you like Drop Forged Bowie or Aus8a Marauder more?
The Marauder
how did you became a knife nerd in the first place?
I've always had and loved them lol
#22aday
How's the shock in the handle?
None that I experienced. I was concerned about it but no worries
#22aday have great holidays with Megatron it def a flop but accidents happen not every knife gonna be winner look is okay thou
Absolutely man!
#22aday #community #bladebrothers
same thoughts want too bust off handle and put elk or deer on it.
Am I able to sharpen the false clip point? Gotta have on edge on the back
Yes absolutely!
That looks like one of those filipino jungle machetes......I'm gonna get me one. I love slicing blades.....yessir.
Me and you both man
#22adaynomore
Reprofile the edge to 21°... Best knife you'll ever own.
What does that do
@@jaredkish8716 Most knives have a factory edge profile of 23 - 27°. Reprofiling between 18 - 21° means a lesser cutting incline.... The edge angle is RAZOR sharp. But not thin enough to roll or chip when chopping.
@@r3ptile584 I cut a Western W49 down on profile from ~27 or so to ~20-22 degrees, it made it an almost entirely different knife, it performs extremely well in cuts
May replace it with something newer then give it the same treatment
For a inexpensive knife it's a great knife. #22aday
True story!! Merry Christmas my brother!!
