CS16DL: 16DL 3V Laredo Bowie

Cold Steel Knives

Awesome is the only adjective that even begins to describe the Cold Steel Laredo Bowie. In fact, it really has to be seen to be appreciated, since mere words just don't do it justice. It features a long, heavy blade made from CPM-3V tool steel blade construction, which is flat ground to produce incredible cutting power and perfect balance. And, as an added bonus, it is given an absolutely ferocious cutting edge that terminates in a dagger-sharp point.

To further enhance its versatility and efficiency as a weapon, it sports a four and a half-inch long sharpened clip point that helps facilitate the deadly back cut, as well as a wide variety of more conventional cuts and stabbing attacks.

The rich black linen Micarta handle is as tough as it is beautiful. It is specially contoured to fit the hand like a glove and to provide a positive grip when cutting, chopping, or thrusting.

Each Laredo Bowie is supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely on your side always ready to defend you and your loved ones.

Laredo Bowie
I bought my Loredo Bowie years ago. Mine has a Wood handle.

This knife can cut branches for firewood, can be used as an baton, though I've never used it for Self Defense I'm positives it would be adequate in that mode too.

Laredo Bowie Evaluation
The Laredo Bowie in CPM-3V is probably the best working bowie for someone that’s wise enough to appreciate that the late Bill Bagwell’s conviction that the clip point bowie with a blade length between 10-12” was the ultimate in a concealable fighting knife, that still retains some practical applications for field use. Pierces like a dagger, slices like a razor, and chops like a cleaver, explains why this style of knife is superior to others for its impressive virtues and absence of significant shortcomings. Given proper care this knife will give a lifetime of service and serve one very reliably. The only modification I made were two custom Kydex sheathes from Survival Sheathes and some skateboard tape on the micarta grip to enhance retention when one’s hands are wet. It is outstanding for snap cut drills and practicing Escrima and Arnis techniques with the bowie. It’s an outstanding bowie and slightly better for all around use than its bigger brother, the Natchez bowie.
