👍 I really enjoy knife review videos that show knives in action, not resting quietly on a table. Loved this one. I was truly impressed by some of supposedly low end and display knives performance. And, thank you for your honest thoughts on the good, bad, & ugly.
Awesome collection, and a very enjoyable video. A few years ago I decided to chop down a wild mango tree (the fruit is rubbish), instead of a chainsaw, used my 1943 Australian Army issue bolo machete, that's a chopping beast, take an arm or leg off with ease. Took a while, but it did the job.
What an impressive collection of bowies! I absolutely love your videos and share your sentiment on knives: if I own it, I use it. Keep up the great work!
I watched this chopping extravaganza, when it came out, and was quite impressed, how good the cheaper knives performed, and I wanted the SZCO Western Bowie, because I love Bowie knives. Living in Europe getting your hands on s SZCO blade is not that easy. Finally I found a Dutch webshop, who had the SZCO Western Bowie available - for € 32,--, shipped right to my door. For this price I had to have it, so I pulled the trigger, together with some more stuff to come into the "free shipping" zone. It has to arrive at my door about Wednesday. I am quite exited, whats all about this knife, and how it performs - for this price. Can't wait to finally holding it in my hand. Yeah, I know, its an "el cheapo", but it is not bad. I will test it with an open mind. #22aday Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed. Greetings from Germany!
Absolutely great video,, I'm thinking of getting a cheap Bowie, for throwing, which I won't cry over, if it gets banged about,, you've given me a few good idea's here,, thanks...
@@DonnieBAllDay Hi, Donnie,, just done a quick search, seems that's not available over here in England,, (or at least, I can't find one .! ) The best and cheapest way to go for me, is a decent looking 10"blade Bowie "blank" and I'll make a tough handle for it, that way too, I can adjust the balance for throwing, at the same time,, 😀, Thanks, my bfam, Keep on keeping on, 🤣
Nice demos and thoughts. Like you, although I collect, I like to use my knives and get involved w/ tech. aspects like a hobbyist. I own that Timber Rattler Outlaw at 19:03. It was gifted to me, ironically I was already considering buying that model. Solid, well-built. Heavy chunk of steel, feels close to 2 lbs. I did some chopping in my yard w/it to see how well it handled. Definitely in the realm of dirks, and short swords.
I like to demonstration and showing the collection of your knives brother and I liked it when you said that you don't keep the knives on the wall you use them and that's the difference between real soldier and a make-believe soldier point blank. Lol
Great video. Nice to see the more affordable bowies holding thier own against thier higher priced counterparts. Love em all. By the way...youre really making me miss my Case bowie i let go several years ago lol. Might need to pick another one up soon.
Sheeeeiiiiiit! I love my Case Bowie so much I'm thinking of picking up one with the white grip just to have two! Haha! Yeah man, these guys all performed.
again, congratulations for a very nice video! at long last, there is a man who truly uses his blades....no table top wasting of time here! keep up the good work!
It's awesome I actually did a review on the whole Rambo collection. Even did a video using the First Blood knife getting some yard work done. I love those damn things! Haha!
@@DonnieBAllDay HAHAHA I subscribed because Cowboy told me to. But really because I did thoroughly enjoy this video and I just finished watching another. So you're stuck with me now.
@@DonnieBAllDay HAHAHA Donnie you think my taste in channels is bad wait till you see my taste in videography. It stinks. I'm new at this and have a lot to learn.

WOW !!! Your knife cuts impressively well.... when I think of my blunt machete ????? I'm coming from Cowboy C Bop!! Thank you for this interesting upload dear friend!!👍278 Warm greetings from the sleeping "Garden of Angels" in Austria...have a great weekend...Saderé💜🔔✔︎
I had that case in a stag handle years ago i sold it I have had all kinds of real good knives in the past sold hundreds of knives over the years but lately I took a break from them until I bought that cold steel wild west bowie now I'm back into them again just can't go nuts and be buying really expensive blades no more big dollar knives like Randall's lol
@@motomark9736 As far as Bowies that you can get under $100, you won't find many better that the Cold Steel Wild West Bowie. So many "budget" blade makers out there are actually stepping up their game too. Frost Cutlery makes an equal style Bowie. It looks a lot like the Case but the handle is wood and it uses a stainless 440 blade. For the price though, the knife is a banger.
I hand it to ya, sir... you have more knives than I... bowies, anyway! The Laredo is conspicuous for it's absence... Is it one YOU would trust hacking up camp wood and such? It is a fighting knife for certain, the first time I was handed a Laredo it's primary function was readily apparent! But as a do-all camp knife? Hmm... So mostly it is on my wall. I'd like your studied opinion... Ive watched your vid on the Case XX and even tho I have a W49 in my selection, am considering that as a "next acquisition" or next next.. Your enthusiasm when testing the XX was obvious and infectious. The "Secret Of The Perfect Blade" has been an elusive, if near life-long, pursuit. Who knows, I may yet have an Adventure in which a good blade may figure... If not I'll carry it with me on my pyre, into the OtherWorld, Godwilling!
The perfect blade is that wonderful group of words that we can put together and say but for some can never be put together in reality. For me I would have to say that so far the most perfect knife I have is my dbad camp master. I designed it to be everything I wanted to be and the design was a success. I am sure that I will need something different and design one to be just as great but for now the most hand fitting knife I own and most useful would most likely be that.
how is the undertaker condor bowie in this type of situation, nice video bro , you know how to use a bowieknife i have ordered a condor undertaker bowie, i think its only need a lanyard but i think this knife is easy to throw and the steel is easy to sharpen.i like your videos , have a nice day
@@DonnieBAllDay I saw your wild west bowie video last night, ordered one before the vid was over. I've been looking to retire the old w49 so now I have a modern rendition to use. Great vids bro.
You know what knife seems interesting to me and I've rarely seen any review for? The Böker desert warrior. Is one of those budget ones but from a good brand, I wonder how it performs.
@@DonnieBAllDay Oh, right! I'll give you the whole name. That's the Boker Magnum Desert Warrior specifically. I remember I almost got that one one time.
Within a year ago, another channel showed the frontier 1917 get a lose handle from chopping (the trees where probably 30- 40"diameter or so) maybe GSM sucks?
Our of all the knives on that table if you could only have one and you had to face the toughest form of survival from processing wood to defending your life... which one would you take? I am guessing the Case XX... and what do you think of the SVord Von Tempsky Bowie? Do you or have you ever had one? I highly respect your opinion and deeply appreciate your love of the Bowie knives and willingness to test them. I own a lot of knives but I haven't used them like you have. I am hoping that will change soon. Thanks again. Your channel is fun to watch.
First, thank you. Going in reverse, I love the Von Tempsky. I don't own one but have one saved in my buy it list. While I couldn't love my Case any more than I do, if I had to choose just one of these as my do all?....I would have to choose the Esee. The knife is an all around keeper. The heat treat is second to none and it comes with the best warrantee in the business. To turn down the Case, Natchez, 1917 and Big Brother is tough, but that just shows how great the Junglas really is.
@@DonnieBAllDay The von Tempsky is one hell of a knife! IMO tho it lacks in the grip department... too squared for my hands, and it needs a birdshead or swelling in the lower dorsal to fit right... allows the hand to move more comfortably and retain hold during a chop... with a better grip I'd have one in my selection.. JME
@@red9man2130 I love making my own because I can have it the way I want it. I can find 1080 cheap and easy, so thats generally my choice steel for my homemades.
@@DonnieBAllDay Outstanding! I,m guessing you are your own "Green River". I,m glad to see Cold Steel took up the Gauntlet. I Know you understand a good Knife. I think there is a real market for a quality combo Machete. I think that's the one area sans the "machete series" cold steel produces. In other words a diff approach but similar if that makes sense.
Wow DonnieDude, you have a coupla really fine knives in that selection! Have admired that H&R507 for some time now :) Havent found one for sale yet... How long is that blade?
I got very lucky With that 1. The Gil Hibben models made by United look like the movie knife but are slightly smaller. This one is about 3/4 of an inch longer than the movie blade and the same shape but it's the only 1 I found polished. I bought it that way from Hollywood collectibles and haven't found another 1 since. It's nicer then the darker ones in my opinion.
You know that's just some soft ass pine, probably the easiest wood to process down. But still they definitely did the job. On hardwood bowies aren't the best for chopping. Especially hollow ground ones.
I absolutely agree. I Do chop a lot with them on harder woods. I use them to cut down sycamore logs which is really hard and living in New England the Winter makes those pine logs pretty stiff, but on this day, there was no frozen logs and you are right that wood was soft. What gets you is the sabath. Fresh pine is crazy sticky so it slows down the blade and hollow grinds are not made for chopping hardwoods without a doubt.
@@DonnieBAllDay I hear so many hateful things about cold steel, man. Honestly I think they make pretty cool products. I guess they all hate Lynn. In any event, I have the sp10 and I want another excellent budget bowie that is made for hard use
I love mine. I did a few videos on it. By no fault of the knife, I ent the pommel by throwing into a tree sideways. I made a simple fix, one of the best knives I own.
@@DonnieBAllDay that brings up a very interesting point....how do we establish a stabbing protocol....??? what constitutes a realistic stabbing protocol....??? pieces of meat under a couple of layers of clothing and an old denim or leather jacket??? pieces of wooden targets?? plastic bottles or jars??? maybe old tyres???
Schrade makes two lines. Users and budgets. The Survivalist series are awesome. The Walmart Bowie is garbage. Not properly heat treated and inferior in every way. Warping the bevel shouldn't be as easy as it is.
The Timber Wolf are made in China and has much better finish and performance over the made in Pakistan Timber Rattler. Of course. Timber Wolf knives are higher than Timber Rattler. Timber Wolfs are highly Chopable
@@DonnieBAllDay Thats cool you dont shop budk yet three of those timber rattlers of yours can be found in the budk catolog and website. oh i did however like your review on that case bowie.
@@DonnieBAllDay ok so whats a better go bowie a case or a down under eclipse. I like the eclipse but that leather wrap is a worry if thats your go to betty and you really out there i dont want that bicth coming undone the cold steel bowie is nice. out of the three what would you pick.
@@chrisgirardot7165 For me it's a toss up between the Case XX and the Esee Junglas. Really comes down to what kind of outing. Camp and hunting, Case. Bushcraft and survival, Esee.
Really liking re-watching all of these GREAT videos!!!❤
You're the best!

going to need one soon
What do you think about the bear and sons Bowie?
Good quality
Go big or go home. Nice bunch of big Bowie's bro
Hell yeah! Haha
Donnie i like the down under outback bowie is it good? Is it worth?
I love mine. I did a few videos on it. By no fault of the knife, I ent the pommel by throwing into a tree sideways. I made a simple fix, one of the best knives I own.
@@DonnieBAllDay thanks donnie i will order this . Its beautiful. Greetings from greece
@@anestispanagiotidis5890 I love the Greek! I shared a base with the Greek Army in Afghanistan. We had some great basketball games! haha
👍👍👍 good to hear that. You are a cool guy. stay sharp my friend haha
HELLO. HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT THE SVORD VON TEMPSKY ?
It's on my list
just a remark....i would love seeing the penetration potential of these blades.....not only their chopping and cutting capabilities......
I need to find more stuff to stab then.
@@DonnieBAllDay that brings up a very interesting point....how do we establish a stabbing protocol....??? what constitutes a realistic stabbing protocol....??? pieces of meat under a couple of layers of clothing and an old denim or leather jacket??? pieces of wooden targets?? plastic bottles or jars??? maybe old tyres???
@@sharpsholdier that's the issue. I have so many that I run out of material.
finally someonbe who say Boooowie.
Oh, you mean like how its pronounced? Haha! Some people aren't that smart.
What kind of steel is the rambo machete?
could be a 420, not sure
@@DonnieBAllDay i have the black hibben one and it is 1090 carbon
@@MultiKnick it could be that. I can see if it blues
Great vid, Whack them knives!
I'm not known for being gentle. Haha!
5:07 I didn't even get the whole thing in there its so big
Some men are just proud. Haha
Don't knock the Schrade Bowie as a "WalMart Special".
Scrade makes a Damn Good knife and has been around a long time.
Schrade makes two lines. Users and budgets. The Survivalist series are awesome. The Walmart Bowie is garbage. Not properly heat treated and inferior in every way. Warping the bevel shouldn't be as easy as it is.
Good collection you have, but there are some knives that are no bowies by any means.
Very true. I just added some extras in there to see what they could do. I need to update this video because I have more to challenge.
@@DonnieBAllDay Nice!, I would love to see the new video when it's ready 💪
@@abradolflincler3802 right on my brother
The Timber Wolf are made in China and has much better finish and performance over the made in Pakistan Timber Rattler. Of course. Timber Wolf knives are higher than Timber Rattler. Timber Wolfs are highly Chopable
They all work well for the price
Mt Garrison, big knifse are mmmmkay, mmmkay, mkay, mkay
mkay
Wheres the Outback.
I need to update
this is a knife
Add wheels and its a Volvo
Boo e
You know it
So you got most of this shit from budk NO.
No. I don't shop BUDK
@@DonnieBAllDay Thats cool you dont shop budk yet three of those timber rattlers of yours can be found in the budk catolog and website. oh i did however like your review on that case bowie.
@@chrisgirardot7165 Some knives are sent to me for free, the Timber Rattler came from eBay.
@@DonnieBAllDay ok so whats a better go bowie a case or a down under eclipse. I like the eclipse but that leather wrap is a worry if thats your go to betty and you really out there i dont want that bicth coming undone the cold steel bowie is nice. out of the three what would you pick.
@@chrisgirardot7165 For me it's a toss up between the Case XX and the Esee Junglas. Really comes down to what kind of outing. Camp and hunting, Case. Bushcraft and survival, Esee.
Your knive look not sharp
Uhhhh.... ok.
