Cold Steel Wild West Bowie Knife Reviews

4.3 Rating 3 Reviews

Styled like the iconic big blades featured in Westerns, the Cold Steel Wild West Bowie is a noteworthy American classic. The blade is made from 1090 Carbon Steel. It is a long wide blade with weight forward balance and is saber ground and fortified with a false edge to assure maximum cutting and chopping performance.
The handle has a classic profile, featuring Rosewood scales attached to the full tang with brass screws, and it has the characteristic “S” patterned brass handguard to protect your fingers. The Wild West Bowie is kitted with a traditional black leather sheath that features a brass swivel belt loop and leather leg strap.

“After giving away my collection of knives prior to moving house several month's ago, I realised recently that although I gave away my knives I still have the itch to collect.I decided to concentrate on my particular favourite, the Bowie. I have always, at least since I was lucky enough to seethe John Wayne movie The Alamo as a boy and made up my mind that I would get myself a Bowie. I'm many years older now and over the year's have owned many knives, many of them of course Bowies.We have been aware for some time now that the style of knifewhich we assumed previously to be that of Jim's Iron Mistressis not necessarily so, but whether it is or not the design of the present day knife is close enough for me having read the account's of people now gone. This is the second Bowie I have acquired since I decided to start my new collection and although it will be thought of as a budget knife it is a Bowie as we now know it in appearance, with a large carbonsteel blade and brass Crossgard. Considering the price for this Impressive piece of cutlery I am very pleased I took the opportunity to buy this knife, having read the reviews, not all complimentary but not all bad.The knife is blade heavy obviously, it's a big blade but I think itfeels good in the hand because of the full tang and brass crosspiece, indeed all the brass furniture which add weight to the handle and help to balance this large knife. Point of balance appears to be approximately 1.5 inches above the brass crosspiece. There was very little oil or grease on the blade but the scaleswe're covered in what appeared to be heavy redish brown paint which I think was commented on by Gordon in Oct 2021.I scraped and sand papered the paint off as far as possible but the scales have absorbed the colouring which is not so bad once with the application of a few coats of teak oil.This will be one of my favourite Bowies, I consider whatever work I have put in to the knife has been a bonding processbetween me and my Bowie. The blade appears to be reasonable material and the brass crosspiece is solid. I doubtthe scales are rosewood but I am not an expert on timber.The sheath looks good although the leather is thin, I would have liked to see a thickrer welt. Also it would be nice to see the blade designation stamped on the blade.I am pleased that I went for this knife, none of these small things I have mentioned will detract from the enjoyment of owning this Bowie. The blade is good, sharp out of the box, the brass is solid and with a little love the handle will improve .I think you should buy this knife and give it some love.I don't think you will regret it”

“There are many video reviews on other sites for this knife. I was surprised how many gave it brutal treatment and then complained that the guard became loose. Honestly if you drove your mums run around down a mountain would you complain if one of the wheels was hanging off. It's a massive knife and you'll probably never use it for anything but if you are looking for a Texas letter opener this will make you feel a great sense of value.”
