COLD STEEL 1917 FRONTIER BOWIE,

I am often asked how I make time to put out as much content as I do. first and foremost there's no way I could do this without Megatron not just her love and support but her willingness to sacrifice her on time so that I have time to make the stellar videos. but honestly guys and girls the main reason I'm able to do it is one word it's passion I can attribute a lot of that and being able to express that passion on one person Donnie b all day. no one can give you passion no one no one can take it from you but d bad in one of his videos that I watch before I ever started this channel was just wide open and by watching Donnie just enjoying himself and having passion it showed me it was okay so this video is a shout out really to passion to Donnie and to Cold Steel! Y'all check this s*** out
Brandon Thrasher is going to be a constant shout out on this channel until he gets movement from KZbin.. The best way to help him is to go over there like comment share his stuff and let's force him back into the algorithm
He can be found at

[@larryroberts3598]

I have my O-1 Trail Master bowie and it's little brother the Recon Scout. I have a few bigger blades and a few smaller blades to keep it well rounded. Thanks for another great video Scabber.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Appreciate you brother those are some great ones I believe I have both of those as well and I love them

[@jorgefernandez6407]

That knife is 100% legit! It's as tough as it is pretty and to this day, I consider it one of the best Bowie knives I have! Watching it perform... NEVER gets old!!! GREAT VIDEO SCABB!!!

I think i,'ll get one. Thanks👍

Hello sir, Two words : beastly blade ! Great review, always a pleasure to see yours and DBad's as well ... God bless !

Good morning I appreciate you very much thank you for checking it out

[@JoeSteel1]

This one was fun... cool to see long-term use and how it held up. This was a good video. Talking live with the video worked really well here

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Appreciate it brother this one was a blast

That's a serious chopper. Can you imagine Scab getting out of his truck with that beast in his oversized mitt? Trees and vines would tremble with fear! Great video. Every American needs a big-ass Bowie knife.

Brother this one's just kind of one of those you need in your collection you know

[@jessetembo1979]

Yeah I'm a fan of this one, even though I don't own one yet. Kinda put a stop on new blades for a while, but I'm always eyeing this one whenever it goes on sale!

[@jd-jw8hm]

Love mine.. The sheath would be nearly as expensive as the knife, if you tried to pay someone to recreate it.. ColdSteel is the 💣..

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

That is an absolute fact!

Endless supply of toothpicks for you 😅love ya Son keep up the great work 💯🇺🇸🫡🪓🗡️🔪⚔️

I remember saving my money to buy one back in the day. I still love that blade

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Huge fan of it brother

[@rnkmode1876]

Yeeah Buddy!! I have one! It's definitely a Beast of a Bowie, I wish it had LionSteel handles or some more ergonomic handle scales, even though I do love the Rosewood.

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

I really like that you put a tire in most of your field tests. Not too many knives can make that test look easy. ✌🏼

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Brother I am blessed to have an abundance of them right now. I need to start scavenging again

[@wcreview8227]

Im gonna Take a Stab at it.. LOL NO PUN! its most likely that in 1917 frontiersmen carried a knife much like the one you demoinstrate!! As Scab would say I Absolutely ADORE Cold Steel!! Their Stuff is GREAT!

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Man I would tend to agree with you or maybe it was carried during world war I it is definitely a stabber. I'm going to look it up

[@cherokeebuxknifeco9265]

I always loved the blade shape of this knife, that long swedge is wicked! I think it's the S guard and the shape of the handle that gives me pause on buying it. If Im not mistaken Donnie B rehandled his and it looked like something I would buy right away. Im gonna have to follow suit. It'll be in my collection at some point. Anyway, Dope vid Bro💯

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Many thanks my brother! Hope all is well!

[@ricosuave7102]

It’s named after the 1917 cutlass sword they used to make. It’s just a short version of it.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Yes I know I'm just

[@joehebert901]

Awesome job, brother. I own a few Cold Steel knives and I love them. I carry an SRK in San Mai almost every day. The 1917 looks like one hell of a bowie fighter. Again great job, my brother.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Thank you my brother!!! I'm a huge cold steel fan!

[@certamen832]

Bought one of these a year ago. Pretty amazing, especially for the money, just a beautiful, big honking blade, with a likewise beautifully made sheath. They seem to be a bit harder to find these days. Also, it's called 1917 because it's basically a scaled down version of their 1917 cutlass, which was used during ww1.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

The Cutlass was the one piece I wished I would have got man I wanted that thing so bad and I never pulled the trigger on it

[@taylormahan1744]

Been a loyal cold steel customer since 1986. My Shinobu tanto in San mai 3.

[@drygulch1000]

I really appreciate the bad ass knives and the laughter. Just fun over fun!!

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Appreciate you checking it out!

[@jamesm1]

the name comes from them also releasing a 1917 cutlass at the same time, which is a replica of the cutlass the US navy adopted in 1917 (truly the last sword adopted for combat, and one was even used by a marine at the Inchon landing during the Korean War to kill a guy). It uses the same belt frog thing as the 1917 frontier bowie too.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Appreciate it

[@spencerbartley943]

Love the old knives

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Brother I am such a monster fan of them

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Hey brother I appreciate you checking it out Thank you man that means a lot

[@steveborgresistance8310]

Test it hard to be sure. If You got a good one then you got a great knife. Mine was clearly defective. I have done quite a few videos on my 1917 rebuild. Awesome finish job ya did on this one👍 I will say that it is basically indestructible If it is not defective. Very Excellent work, keep it up 💯👍🤠❤️

[@steveborgresistance8310]

@@torgomax Yes, if you are willing to risk it, Especially if you can weld, and do handle building, those wood scales have to be replaced eventually if you are going to work the 17 like I do. You can't go wrong with a Kukri or Trail Master as well. 👍😎

[@ericdpeerik3928]

I love large fixed blades, they're my prefered knife. Not always practical for a city boy, so I keep smaller and folding knives too. People who know how many knives I have say it's ridiculous and I agree..... 😂 However, you like what you like.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

I have always enjoyed the bigger fix blades. But then again I love anything sharp 🤣

@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors 💖

[@DDDYLN]

@SCAB - I like that you do your demonstrations without gloves. Too many knife reviewers wear gloves. You can't tell viewers about the stock knife grip, if you're wearing gloves. I have this knife. It's a beast. I'm not the biggest fan of the square corners on the handle, but it works for me, unless I have some sort of grease on my hands. I'll never understand why you always remove your blade coatings, but to each their own. Personally, I love to keep the black coatings on my high carbon knives, for both corrosion protection, and so it doesn't stand out in the dark.

[@bhycoo]

I watched your original video on that knife way back when, then subbed to the channel and bought the frontier bowie. Mine is banged up now but i still love it. Been one hell of a ride brother

[@isaacs_knives_and_knowledge]

A true classic that harkens to the early days of Dbad and Choirboyz

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Brother I love this thing and you're right it is a throwback!

[@DDDYLN]

People often don't like Cold Steel knives that are made by Windlass Steelcrafts in India. However, in my experience, Windlass makes some great large knives, with an excellent heat treat.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Bro people will find a reason to not like anything ya know how that goes... I'm with you a hundred percent on this one

[@DDDYLN]

@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors true. I didn't buy the Wild West Bowie. It's a nice knife, but it has a hollow grind. I prefer a flat or saber grind on large Bowies. That doesn't mean it's a bad knife. It's made of very tough 1090 carbon steel, with a good heat treat. I'll stick with my SZCO high carbon Bowie for now, since it has a flat grind. For such a cheap knife, that SZCO HC Bowie is a really tough knife. I like the grind on the 1917 Frontier Bowie. It seems to have a tough saber grind. I've seen people try to destroy it, and they can't!

[@glockgaston2922]

Great looking patina job on the blade brother and I love the guard. I found this knife on KnifeCenter for $113. Thanks for the review my brother it’s much appreciated 👊🏼

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Nice that is a good find I may pick another one up I do appreciate all the support brother

[@longrider42]

I've had mine for a few years. Never used it to cut stuff. Its a Combat Knife.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

Makes sense to me but since I'm a knife channel and not going to be in combat I like showing the capabilities of it

[@kenfaulkner5544]

You know I am more of a folder guy, so that's where I spend more money. I have the Nomad Bushcrafter and the Lanzeta from WTG, but other than that all my fixed blade knives are under $100. There are still some great ones for that price.

[@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors]

I agree brother and this is one of them if you can find them I may pick up another one of these
