Coldsteel Wild West Bowie wow 😮 that’s a big knife!!!!

[@gizmocarr3093]

Lacquer thinner or Acetone will clean up the brass and handle. Any brass polish will shine the hilt. Keeping the knife in the sheath will make the brass turn green and stain the sheath leather if stored in the sheath over a short time. Treating the Sheath and knife handle with Neatsfoot oil will preserve the leather and not harm the handle. If you clear coat the brass it will resist changing color. If not, it will tarnish like any brass will. It is a cool looking knife.👍

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

Agree with JMP-71 Brasso, it may take 2 or 3 cleanings, then polish with flitz, is that piece maybe to put an end of guard, but there would be 2 of them. handle may need a light sanding and some type of clear flat finish coating, polyurethane or lacquer based, thanks for showing.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yes you absolutely right because it’s going to keep coming off!!!! Thanks so much

[@brandxreviews]

I had the same issue with my guard on mine, the stain was everywhere. I'll use some Brasso, when I get around to it. A great knife.

[@Broddi169]

Flitz for cleaning metals

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Bartenders Friend for the brass. Brasso would also work.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Thanks Rusty I’ll have to order some thanks buddy!!!!!

[@heydiahrea]

I had the same problem with my handle, it was sticky and would leave the color on your hands. I took the staining off with some rubbing alcohol and a microfiber towel, so it’s a nice reddish color now. To clean the brass I use brasso, the brass tarnishes pretty soon after anyways though. How were the grinds on yours? The last inch or so closest to the guard on mine was left un-sharpened.

Dang look at that baby!! Beautiful! Wild Wild West!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yo brother good seeing you!!!! Thanks for stopping in stay well talk soon

[@greatmystery11]

Did you know that the tang in this Wild West bowie is a skeleton tang? What a disappointment! See Joe X's video on it for more.

[@edwest7035]

Another awesome big fixed blade very nice Pete its a beauty i dont have that one I do have the Gold Rush from Bear & son which is also an awesome knife ,,,I use Mothers polish on my brass works for me..Have a good one buddy i'm digging your big blades very nice✨

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

Not far from you. I live just north of Philadelphia. As others have stated, Flitz will totally clean up the brass.

That is a monster of a knife. Thanks for showing it to us. Love Cold Steel.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Hey Mike I’m workin on it wait till I’m done stripping the handle and polishing this brass guard!!!!!

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

Brasso, Case paste, or Flitz will get that brass shiny. I had that same plastic piece in my box also, I think it might have been a tip protector for shipping. On the handle, you will want to remove some of that stain if you like the look of wood. They put way too much stain making it look black. Check out what mine looks like now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnepoYetrdSKqNE No tacky feeling anymore

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yes definitely William I want to look at yours!!!! Right now she’s a mess!!!! Thanks buddy I’ll look now!!!!!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Awww man William that looks fantastic I’m doing that with mine for sure thanks buddy

[@WilliamsKnifeLife]

When You Are finished, look at your original video & see which looks better. I don't know why they covered up such nice looking wood. 😕

[@KnifeChatswithTobias]

Sounds like your knife was in long term storage. I don't know who you bought it from but I wouldn't buy from them again. Any kind of metal polish should clean it up. Brass-O is a good option. You can probalby save the knife and sheath but, I think you might be beyond help, Pete. Good luck with the knife. I'm sure you can fix

[@j.w.greenbaum]

Brasso, Brasso, Brasso! My Bucks have become well-acquainted with it, as has my Spyderco Schempp Bowie (although I found I actually like that knife with a bit of tarnish). Trust me, the brass guard is gonna be fine. The handle scales now have some character; don't worry about them! Loving that Bowie, by the way.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yes sir I thought everyone was going to say that!!!!! Thanks so much I greatly appreciate it

[@j.w.greenbaum]

@@jerseyknifeguy6382 No problem! If you can't get any, Flitz also works. It tends to polish a little more quickly, but I've noticed that there's a such thing as overpolishing and Brasso gives you a bit more control over that.

[@Xonid1]

Its manufactured in India. How is it better than the other junk they make for $20.00?

[@gadgetgus]

An American 🇺🇸 Legend, for sure - absolutely 💯% gorgeous 😍 Brasso, does a good job. For me, if you want to keep it shiny for a lot longer, then use: Vinegar + Flour + Salt *Combine equal parts of white vinegar, flour, and salt to make a damp paste that's not runny. Use a soft cloth to apply the mixture to tarnished brass and let it sit for 30 minutes. Grab a fresh, damp cloth and wipe away the paste, then rinse the item and buff it dry... Hope that helps, stay well 🙏 Jersey, Atb Gus 👍

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

That’s awesome thanks so much for letting me know that!!!!! Stay well out there

[@dougwatkins5441]

Hrd to say how long it was in storage.That oil turns to grease after awhile.I would buff it out with some green buffing compound if you have a Dremel that will work

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

I love this Bowie!!! Gonna share it! Welcome to the Bowie side!!!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Oh my ok brother thanks you have me nervous lol 😂

[@propblast82nd]

I would try some semi chrome and elbow grease Pete.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yeah I got it I have a neabor that has everything so I ask her and of course she had it!!!!! Thanks so much be well

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

Try Brasso for the guard.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yes I just did it came out fantastic now I’m stripping the handle it’s going to look beautiful I’m thinking about having this one send away!!!!!

[@davidkurle5418]

Definitely get some Brasso, it stinks but it works like a champ. Thanks for the look at your new Bowie, my friend!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

I got it David it cleaned up beautiful now I have to strip the handle!!!!!! Work in progress thanks bud

[@garypeterson4025]

Nice knife .Was it more than a case?

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

It's cheaper than the Case Bowie.

[@user-dm1tt5dr1k]

I have a blade just like that almost reel old Pakistan walnut handles same brass same everything 10 inch blade I think

[@mattmorrison9379]

For 65bucks its not a terrible knife. They actually allow a knife that big in Jersey? Lol

[@johnherpel2974]

Try toothpaste my mom used to use it on her brass collection.

[@jeroenvoss6231]

Suggestions already have been made to clean the handle, so i'll just say; swing that big mama over there Pete!

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yeah I’m already stripping it…..that shit is junk

[@JoseGonzalez-yx6vm]

If that handle does not get dry and lose tackiness at some point, you may have to strip it.

[@jerseyknifeguy6382]

Yeah I have a feeling I’m going to have to strip it
