[@jimmyj4811]

A great vs video! It is obvious that instead of choosing, one needs to have both.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I agree

[@lckgilmo43]

Cold Steel messed up. The Natchez Bowie has a cable tang, you don't want that. It cost $200 and they give you a plastic sheath. Lol The Frontier Bowie is FULL TANG, that's what you want. It cost around $100 and comes with a leather sheath. Natchez Bowie is prettier but when it comes to hard use that weld fusing the tang to blade will break. There's your answer. I only buy full tang knives. Never cable or rat tang.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

The cable is better for fighting vibration to the hand. It's designed as a fighting Bowie and not so much a workhorse. I just like to show that it can if you need it to.

[@ryangibson1901]

lckgilmo43 I personally don’t see the fuss of the natzhez, it looks like a glorified kitchen knife. My 1917 should arrive in a few days. Fingers crossed it’s hectic.

[@barrybaldwin5535]

I agree that we should all own both. That said, the Nachez wins for me, at 5/16" thick spine, it carries momentum which means less calories burned. I also have & love the Laredo & the Trailmaster, which I've owned the longest in Carbon V convex edge. Cold Steel is my favorite blade company. I have collected so many CS products & none of them have ever let me down. Materials, fit, finish, ergonomics & above all sharpness, Lynn's company rocks ( at least my world )!!! By the way, I also am a southpaw & typically won't buy a blade that I can't wear left side carry, but some of the CS designs are just too good to nitpick over a small trait like that.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I'm with you 100%

[@tim777us]

Personally, I don't trust cable tangs to consistently hold up to serious abuse. Just my opinion. They both seem like great knives for what they were built for. Thanks for the review!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I'm a true full tang guy personally, but this Natchez has been problem free

[@ronalddunne3413]

Cold Steel has made some of the best- bar none- factory production large bowies ever. I jumped on the Cold Steel bandwagon with the first Carbon-5 Trailmasters in the early-mid 1980's.. In my opinion and experience, every one of Lynn Thompson's big bowies have knocked it out of the ball park. Some of the other stuff, maybe not so much but the big bowies definitely lead the pack in my experience. Now Im not so hip to the cable tangs so my Trailmasters and the 1917 get the most usage for camping, but the Laredo and Natchez seem pretty solid. Certainly solid enuff for doing what they were designed to do- but as I don't get into many altercations involving bare steel, they just dont get used as much... All that said, I likes me a solid knife made of good steel with great tempering, and all of these bowies do provide that. Naturally I have my favorites, but I can't remember ever being disappointed in the performance of any of my CS blades... then again, I don't abuse mine by throwing them, unlike what SOME guys do! I have rehandled several of the kraton-gripped CS knives with elk antler with inlaid turquoise and lapus and maybe that is part of my problem with the cable tangs, kinda problematic regripping over a cable tang. Someday I may try removing the cable on one and TIG-welding a steel "tang extension" and then re-gripping with elk, caribou, or maybe even sambar if available.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I hate watching those idiots throw big expensive Bowie! hahaha!

[@TinmansCorner]

[@DamianBloodstone]

I love your channel and appreciate your reviews and shown usage of the blades. I own the Natchez Bowie in San Mai steel made in Japan. It has a leather sheath but without a frog. The San Mai version has a polished steel guard and pommel. The pommel is also screwed onto the handle with a security spanner screw. It has a perfect line on each side where the steel folds over to wrap the VG-1. It is an amazing fighting blade. I have two other san mai blades. One is a Magnum II tanto made in Japan and the other is an Outdoorsman made in China. You should really get an Outdoorsman if you want to have a blade for the outdoors. Even my 4116 Krups SS Outdoorsman puts most of my blades to shame when slicing and chopping. I'm just a Cold Steel guy.

Always cut at 45°, and keep cutting at a angle, you don't at 90°. When tou cut at 45 you will cut into the wood you have alreasy cut and the chips will fly. People cut at 90°, when that is the saw cut. Cutting horizontal you are compressing the fibres. It is far quicker to cut at 45°. I have the Nachez and the Larado in san mai 3. Both are brilliant . The frontier is even better when you shape the handle you fit your hand. And scallop the handle between the screws top and bottom makes the handle even better. I put micarta scales on mine, green micarta looks nice. Always enjoy the vids mate. All the best from England!

I’ve commented on other videos of yours. Just so you know, I bought the 1917 Bowie because of you. Thank you for convincing me. That being said, I have a question. I saw a review on Amazon with a photo of this knife snapped in half at the hand guard. The buyer claims it came that way, I believe it to be true because it was still in its package while broken. What do you think?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

[@alcmantyrtaeus]

I admit that I have been interested in both of them. As a disagreement with regards to leather sheaths, I must disagree. My preference for a multi option, non rotting in my humid environment, sheath is unwavering. So a cheaper 1917 must also account for a new sheath in the cost.

Note: I sharpened the swedge on mine to achieve that nasty "back cut" that the bowie is famous for (ref; Bill Bagwell on bowie knife fighting etc).

[@larrysfarris]

What Bowie knives are made with more premium steel? (S30V, S45VN, S35VZN, or even better: S90V, K390, S110V, etc.). Looking for a Bowie style knife with much better edge retention & HRC), with over a nine inch blade (preferably). Any recommendations… anybody❓ 🔪

[@DonnieBAllDay]

there are plenty looding the market. Beware of some of the "super steels". A perfectly heat treated 440C or D2 has better edge retention than a common heat treat on a super steel. Stuff thats been around longer has been mastered. A lot of the newer blends are being used but the makers don't yet know how to fully dial them in. You want an all around great blade with an amazing Heat treat, look up the Esee Junglas

Now the Wild West probably (or the Case, depending- (I heard what you say about the Case and it's steel)...

Lets keep it real.. Cold steel uses that branded cable over a full tang for no other reason that to cut the cost of steal material and manufacturing cost. Any armourer will twll you that the nife is awesome but that lart of the design sucks and is cheap and has no purpous other than to benifit cold steal and thier benifit screws you the consumer over. Still a nice knife though...

This method has been used for many more years than any of us have lived. Why would they use it for cost reasons when it's the only model they use it on? Wouldn't they employ it more? They are known for their versatility. Full, hidden, cable... they can produce anything, any way and these two prove that. A cable tang vs a full three quarter exposed. What other big brand is doing that?

I love those little boop sounds he makes. I'd love to see a chop test video with a boop sample every time he hits something.

I'd have to call it the Betty Boop chopper challenge
