You’d make Jim Bowie proud, my friend.
Thanks bro
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Crosby Knox instablaster ;)
Top video Donnie ! The handle on a big user knife is so important ! keep them coming big lad ! 🙂👍
You know it!
Cool mate,...
You did answer my request on this topic!! Thank you a lot,..
I got you
@@DonnieBAllDay Thanks a lot again!!
I'm gonna have to go... Undertaker... "chime in WWE music" Condor just hit the ball out of, sorry DBad, PNC Park.
I played it in my head! Haha
Forgot to say great video, really liked it. RLB
Thanks bro
Both are great knifes I would buy them both great Video bro 👍🏻
I love em both
The Condor has my vote. The performance and look of it got me when I saw it on your Undertaker video. I'll put a lanyard on it... :)
its so awesome
the condor is better because it is easier to sharpen and yoy can uese a lanyard to lock the grip in front of the knife sheild
Awesome video bro! Both knives are beasts and if you asked me to choose one that I liked I would have to go with the condor; I just like the way it looks and operates. One last thing ; remember CS does not make knives.
CS does. Much of their production stuff is made in India and even Italy. But they do fab in the US. Don't expect to find one on eBay though. Haha
I own both of these knives my Brother and it is a hard choice to pick out which one is the best, it you use an over or under lanyard on the coffin ⚰️ handle it won’t slip or leave your hand, big call to pick one out of these two, it’s like trying to pick a favorite child lol 👍🏻🇦🇺
You got that right!
As for the less gripy Undertaker handle, yes, I agree. But I just use paracord around my wrist for hacking with the Condor. It's definitely a wood cleaver.
It's a beast of a chopper
Just got the Condor Bowie after watching your videos. The knife seems pretty good, minimal issues (almost perfect grind), perfect handle. But the sheath ... my gosh. How did you get yours to loosen up, if I may ask?
I just kept using it. You can use leather conditioner to soften it
@ DBAD - How much belt width could you get through the CS sheath, if you cut off the dangler? There's a loop there for the metal ring.
I don't remember
They are replacing my Undertaker. The customer service Condor has is very good. Shit happens and sometimes a product will have some flaws but if a compamy makes it right you have to appreciate that. I have a Cold Steel leatherneck tanto and love it. May have to check out the Wild West Bowie. Now i'll shut up about my problem with the Undertaker lol. A short piece on blade maintenance would be cool.
Glad they had your back. I might have to film on that
I also have big hands which makes me leery of the Condor, damn ! I agree on your choice based on the handles.
I hear you brother. They have other designs made for big hands, this one just seems small to me
@@DonnieBAllDay I wonder if grip tape would work to remedy the issue on the Condor ?
@@comradeyuri8492 Absolutely. If I were going to use any tape it would be athletic tape. AKA hockey stick tape.
The Cold Steel bushman,is a video to weave para on these typed knifes..Each run tighten with pliers and looks amazing..After watching,I do on axes,everything..
I finally, after a year, I decided to go with the cold steel wild west bowie. Thank you and CowboyCBop
its a great knife
@DonnieBAllDay I like the knife but I saw that it has a skeleton Tang. What do you think
@@rottvang no problems at all
You just sold me both lol
Both great
STILL LOVE my Undertaker bro! Some videos, you just have to see more than once...or "twice"!!!
Can't go wrong with either
Let's see a Cold Steel Marauder.
Just saved one yesterday. Bought a new Case blade yesterday, so I'll wait a few before I grab the CS
Donnie, could you do a video sometime on how to throw Bowie Knives. Very interested in how to throw big knives. Thanks. RLB Brother of the Blade.
I might have to do that
I like both blades but I would be incline to think the Hollow Grind on the Condor would not be as tough as the Saber Grind on the Cold Steel, especially when it comes to hard chopping ,but for Martial knives it seem the Condor would be more agile.
After further research, both are hollow grinds with the CS just being shallow. My G4 however is a hollow 420HC and one of my most brutal choppers. With the Condors edge profile being that of a machete, I would have no concerns chopping.
Love my wild west and my Texas Bowie... love the shirt 👹😝
The right shirt makes the knife work better
I'm commenting before this video is over, I chose the Undertaker in Tubes5150s video..curious if yours will change my mind. I know in your Cold Steel Wild West vs Cold Steel 1917 Frontier video I chose the Wild West. So I think you might be right, the more of you I see, the less I'll know! LOL I want them all!!
All seems to be the easiest solution! Haha! What blade you choose really comes down to what you're looking to do with.
Donnie B All Day I’m looking to tear sh%# up and possibly protection so I’d say all of them will work 👍🏼😁
I'm really starting to like condor...next knife I would love is dbad menace then condor gryphus bowie....wooooo weeeeee bad blades of my dreams
If you don't have the Atrox, thats a good one
Ive used the W49-style some over the years dating back to VN war days.. The Wild West is about par for that style, and high carbon... The Condor has an interesting shape, being curved along it's entire length, best for draw-cuts, but lower carbon steel... I'd like the Condor blade STYLE with the Wild West steel and grip shape- that hooked grip is very important in my book, tho not necessarily a deal-breaker. Some guys are just hard to please!
I can agree with everything you said
Finally pulled the trigger on an undertaker, can't wait to handle it!!!!!
Its a great knife
Hi Donnie, I'm a big fan- especially love the KKHI bowies. Is there any chance you could failure test the tips on some of those as I'm thinking of getting one but don't know how they'll hold up against a Cold Steel knife.? Thanks and best wishes.
If you want to see a great tip test, Scab at Choirboyz Cutlery channel did a 4 part video series of testing on the dbad Preacher where aside from smashing cinder blocks, he stabbed a street sign a few times to show no tip damage. Better than Cold Steel.
@@DonnieBAllDay Awesome! I'll be sure to check it out, & thanks for getting back to me so quick.
@@DonnieBAllDay it’s just like you said.
@@jamieclarkful a beast!
Donnie, I heard the cold steel is hollow grind. Is the undertaker exactly the same or a flat Sabre grind?
Its not near me, but I think its a flat sabre
Mr Bowie would probably adopt you. Excellent comparison.
And I would call him papa!
We love you in Mississippi You and cowboy rock
Thanks good brother!
gotta buy both, hahhahaha. Most modern cool knives are waaay too thick. cant cut. these to are perfect. you have to be able to use it like a knife. otherwise its useless. buy an axe. great vid man!
they do work
Great revieuw,..
But what do you think about the fit and finish?
I think the Cold Steel has it,..
But what is your opinion?
Greetings from the Netherlands.
Fit is great on both. I've heard people complain about Condors finishes, but I've had no issues
@@DonnieBAllDay ok,.. thanks of your replies,.. i own the Wild West and I love it,..
I will not go for the Condor because I am afraid I let it slip and hurt someone,.. just like you said!!
I call the Undertaker a Widowmaker,... lol,.. just my personal thought though,..😉🤔
@@edwinabbel3783 The knife to me is definitely worth owning, but the handle is the reason I'd roll with the Cold Steel.
@@DonnieBAllDay Me too,..
I agree,...
Your doing great vids and revieuws,...
Those easy few minute food video's I also appreceate a lot,..
Keep it up,..
On to 10 k subscribers,.. afterwards,... 100 k,..
E.
@@edwinabbel3783 Hell yeah
Hi Thank for video
What is the Best kinfe bowie for you
Condor undertaker ?, cold steel frontier 1917 ? or wild west ?
Thank you
Of just those three, 1917
I like the Condor belly shape better, but my hands are too big to hold onto that coffin handle.
thats the real issue
that fuckin ACES HIGH shirt tho !!!
They don't come much better!
This 2 year old vid popped up on my feed while washing my dishes.....watching it for a little nostalgic feel...you where more calm and reserved back then...NOT, haven't changed a bit D. by the way I like the Condor look better....you lost weight,
So funny. I just posted an old one on FB
I bought both, I like the condor best,
The Condor owns it in the looks department, but the cs does have the more secure grip
but if you want to throw the knife i think the condor is better if you want to lock the knife use lanyard nice video, i ordered a condor undertaker.i think the undertaker is a very nice knife in every situation
the Condor is the better thrower
Cold steel is Very nice to , i Will order that next time
I have even ordered the cold steel wild west bowie and it arrived today , very very nice knife, both knifes are Very good i think. If you compare this to with japanese steel , i think this to knife is better
My nephew stole my undertaker when i went into the army, then said he "lost" it. i miss it. i like both of those blades. maybe oneday soon.
So you need a new knife AND a new nephew! Haha
@@DonnieBAllDay people are overrated imo. I'm looking forward to some new kickass blades though
I know im late to this party, but in regards to that condor handle, jute twine wrap it, i did that to mine and it added amazing grip.
Twine adds great grip but can also lead to hot spots
@@DonnieBAllDay its been quite comfortable for me so far, i may leather wrap it later but in a pinch it will definitely fill your hands better. Love the vids man!
Great video Donnie, I knew as soon as the video played for about 1min it was coming down to the handles . It is hard to believe but you are becoming more natural in front of the camera , making it look just effortless .Do I like DBad vids ? Does a Bear shit in the woods ? It does when it sees Donnie coming its way with the Preacher Bowie in hand LOL .
Hahaha! I like it when that happens. It makes it easy for me to track them by their Cocoa puffs
I live in Canaduh and I just learned from a local store that the Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie and the Wild West Bowie can't be imported because they have Rosewood handles. I could get over the steel on the Condor Undertaker Bowie but I would probably try and make a better handle with an exposed tang and a hook on it like the Cold Steel Wild West Bowie in this video. The thing is, I don't have a workshop and I am thinking that getting it tight enough on the guard might be very hard and it's got rivets instead of screws or bolts so once you take the handles off that it came with you can't just put them back on if your own handles won't sit tight enough. I like the Work Tuff Puzon Bowie but getting one of those here in Canaduh is very unlikely. It's hard enough for ANYONE to get one of those. I guess it doesn't help not ever owning a credit card. There are some things you get online that aren't available without a credit card. I like these hard use videos. I don't beat my knives up in videos because I'm not rich by any means and I pay for all my own knives. I don't get paid to do my videos to cover the cost of destroying my knives. It's always nice to see what it takes to break them though. I watch a ton of videos before I choose a knife. Thanx for this video.
You can't buy them through private sellers on ebay?
@@DonnieBAllDay No. I have never had a credit card. There might be a way but I don't know what that might be. I'm pretty old. Don't do any online banking or purchasing. I was alive when JFK was shot. I usually buy things with a money order if I can't just walk in to the store. They used to have the 1917 Bowie here and I have held one in a store some years ago. Just at the time I wasn't looking for camp/wilderness things. These days I think it's become more important to be able to survive in the wild with the people in charge being so inept and bent on violent revolution. You could find yourself one of the unlucky survivors of a nuclear war or in the middle of some kind of Bolshevik revolution. Here in Canaduh the political situation is much worse than you have it there in the US. What we have here is what they are trying to do to you there. Trust me, you absolutely don't want what we have here. It's worse than terrible. This is the land of no opportunity and slavery level taxation. Anyway, this is getting long and I'm sure you've got other things to do. Have a great day.
@@seanhewson1341 I hear ya brother
im getting both of them now
I couldn't not have both also.
Iron maiden....what??? I seen the kiss army t shirts too...think we nother mother brothers
Just may be!
Exelent,...!!!
Would you plzzz also compare the:
Cold Steel Wild West Bowie,...
Versus,..
The:
Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie??
I'm pretty sure I can get to that
@@DonnieBAllDay Thanks a lot my Brother,...
I dig you,...
Greetings from the Netherlands,...
E.
@@edwinabbel3783 I appreciate it my brother
I got my Western W49 Bowie know back in 1985, its date stamped 1984. Its a great knife. The Cold Steel Wild West Bowie is pretty much a "Copy" with a blade that is 1.5 inches longer, and it has a lanyard hole in the handle. Other then that..... If I had to choose, it would be the Cold Steel one.
I love the old Westerns too. Even those are copies. The design was popularized in America around 1836
There both great the condor is $30.00 cheaper take the blade on the condor with the handle & size of the outlaw
You'd have a perfect Bowie
Was thinking the same thing .... but opposite. Cold Steel Blade with Condor Handle .
Would that work ???
If you shop around, you can find the Wild West Bowie for the original release price of $75, which bring it down to close the same price. That's what I paid for mine.
@@allthingssharpnpointy183 Exactly. I got mine for 75 as well.
All things Sharp .... Yes - You can find it out there .
Not long ago there were zero available.
That will happen again real soon .
I forget what I paid ???
I think it was over $100 .
But I got ants in my pants hahaha
Money is no object when it comes to blades . Beautiful blades !!
My wife disagrees but what else is new ...
Hahahahahahaha...
Can’t put a price on Beauty 🤠❤️🤠❤️🤠❤️
You'd still choose CS if you had to make an urgent grab for self defense against a home invader and wanted to strike with a fast power assist cut?
Over these two? Yes. Especially if I needed to quick draw. Those Condor sheaths are mighty snug
The Cold Steel for sure. Higher quality steel, saber grind, dangler sheath, and a kick ass handle. A no brainer as far as I'm concerned. The Condor has a hollow grind, and while that was what a lot of bowie knives had back in the day, it also makes them more prone to breaking during hard use.
The only thing about the CS I don't like is the dangler
how many have you broke during hard use?
Test the Cudeman Bowiemesser. From Spain. Very excellent knives. You will see. Gruß from Germany. Heidelberg. :-)
I've looked at them
sorry grandma...!!! ha ha
I forgot about that! Haha
Wild turkey might have better handles, but that's what I think and feel. But yeah those condor and cold steel is pretty good.
If Wild Turkey had better steel treatment, they'd be right up there.
Well , ...I gotta say Condor is known for consistent quality and cold steel is known for consistently attempting quality thanks Donnie I know which one I want .....
Almost. Condors fit and finish is very inconsistent along with there grinds, but I won't stop being a fan.
Donnie B All Day Got a question I have only watched about all the videos about condor I can possibly find I want the best, preferably longest chopper condor makes which one would you recommend my friend ? (I’m really thinking long machete types) so which one Donnie ?
@@exgi76gmailcom the Condor Dundee Bowie Knife or the Primitive Bush Series CTK-3902-12HC come to mind
Donnie B All Day thank you so much for the info and for responding in general I truly appreciate it, not many do and I have an idea how very busy you are so thank you Donnie you rock brother !
@@exgi76gmailcom The others lack of contact or for some, actual knife use, is why I started this. I'm always moving around, but responding is just basic manners.
I read that Cold Steel will rust soon, is it right?
Stainless will rust if you don't take care of them. After use I wash and oil my blades. I also store them in plastic bins.
Wild west all day for me.
Such a great blade
@@DonnieBAllDay I agree
Did anyone try seran wrap blade,wet-fit sheath..Sponge down sheath,then your blade soaked with Wd40 or Johnsons floor wax in seran wrap,once wet,stick in side and keep working it,moving it,etc..3-4 hours to dry,(Even fully soaked)fits perfect..Try to get sewn seam and rivet edges well wet both sides..Once dry and fits,a bit of talcum powder inside sheath like the Nordic do..Presto!! I do this same when I make my horizontal tote sheaths.I completely wet the leather but it does not take much.
Never tried it
Gotta love your enthusiasm toward bowie knives man. Shoot me a message and we'll shoot the shit about some big steel🍻
I do love me some big steel.... I said big STEEL! Haha
Not gonna lie bro... I have no idea how to send messages on this thing. I have a communities tab, took me a year to know that.
You on instagram?
@@rickthebutcher8576 yezzir! same name
Keep a eye out for billthebutcher937. That's me. Holler at ya boy!
What’s your favorite Bowie
My dbad The Preacher
There both about a the same price $ walnut handle on the Condor and Rosewood handle on the Cold steel 🇺🇸
Both worth it too
I ordered the Cold Steel, the blade is wonderful and in perfect condition, but could be sharper.
But the handle is just disappointing. The wood has been treated unevenly, the screws need to be removed and cleaned, and the handle guard is so dirty that I would have to use chemical cleaners. Which I won't do. It will be returned. Inadequate quality for the price.
thats the problem with CS. They're hit or miss
@@DonnieBAllDay wenn for the Condor Undertaker instead. Handle looks much better with all the rivets.
Is that undertaker a hollow grind?
flat grind
I love the Undertaker Bowie.
Me too
My undertaker tip Bent like butter
That happened to my first Cold Steel Natchez. Just a miss in the heat treat
The Condor has a hollow grind, the Cold Steel is a saber grind. I love my Wild West Bowie..Don't have the Condor, so can't give an opinion on it.
Condor is a flat grind.
@@DonnieBAllDayOk.. Looks like a hollow on the camera.....and I just pulled out my Wild West, and it actually is hollow ground, although a shallow one. Guess I was wrong all the way around, lol.
@@timbo4374 I play with knives all day. I've gotten it wrong before. Of course I wear a helmet. Haha
@@DonnieBAllDay Dude..no offense, but I have the Undertaker, and it most definitely IS a hollow grind. The flats are flat..obviously..that's why they call them flats, but where the grind starts tapering to the edge bevel, it is a fairly deep hollow grind. The Cold Steel is a hollow grind, but a very shallow one compared to the Undertaker.
@@DonnieBAllDay No offense bro..maybe you are mistaking him or something, but I have both knives, and the Undertaker absolutely IS a hollow grind.The flats are pretty large, and go about 2/3 down the blade, with the secondary grind to the bevel being short, but definitely hollow ground. Those large flats might be where the confusion is. The Wild West is also hollow, but very shallow compared to the Undertaker. At first glance, I thought it was flat grind too, so I can understand why Timbo thought they were a flat saber grind. One of the things I like about the Undertaker is that hollow grind..hollow grinds slice very well, and combined with that big sweeping belly, it cuts like a laser.. You should check out the Condor Atrox..now that is a true beast of a knife, and probably my favorite Condor.
Are you a knife dealer?
No. A collector/builder
I know you will chooose COLDSTEEL...
Not by brand, one was just slightly better
Not a true coffin grip, it’s too straight no flair at end
There is, but it's minimal.
Yeah Bro! Condor, Cold Steel...... Because bad ass.... thats all we need to know!
On another note today is my birthday so I treated myself. Two LT Wright Forest Trail knives. CPM-3V steel, camo G10 scales, one saber, one scandi, both with leather sheaths. Nice!
