CS97BWM12S: 97BWM12S Bowie Machete

Cold Steel

Cold Steel's Bowie Point Machete is quick, fast, and lively in the hand, making it an outstanding slashing blade and admirable chopper. But its most winning attribute is its clipped point, which makes it an excellent piercing tool. It will penetrate just about any obstacle in its path and will lend itself to knife-like utility jobs when a smaller handier blade is unavailable!

If you always wanted a Bowie knife, but could never afford one, the Cold Steel Bowie Machete can be yours for a fraction of he price.

Fully sharpened, with a tough baked on matte black rust resistant coating and equipped with a sturdy Core-Ex sheath, you will be proud to add this Machete to your collection.

It’s okay
I bought this to toss in the pickup and use in case of emergencies.Out of the box the Bowie machete needs work fixing the uneven grind and sharpening the butter knife dull edge.The 1055 is soft and doesn’t hold an edge very long.If you plan on taking the Bowie machete into the woods and actually using it be sure to bring something to sharpen the knife with,cause it requires frequent sharpening due to the soft steel.

Great value and multi-purpose
I agree with comments about the value. I bought several to give to in-law relatives in the Philippines who need a defensive knife that can double as large field knife. I am sure they will also use this on green coconuts, roast pig, and large fish. Very fast in hand and easy to carry. I will probably buy more. EDC Philippine style!

RENDEZVOUS BOWIE
I will be using this for my Mountain Man Rendezvous. I've a very long, think & large deer antler that I'll use to replace the handle. NO shiny stainless steel; I'll antique it a bit. Knife came fairly sharp but had some metal burrs on edge. Doesn't matter to me; I sharpen all new knives I buy. If used for camping, this would be great for batoning firewood, although I've not tried it. Would have liked a finger choil, but it's not necessary; I can make one if I want. Nice handle with a solid grip for those who want it as is. PRICE CAN'T BE BEAT FOR THE SIZE AND QUALITY OF A MACHETE BOWIE THAT WILL BE A CAMPFIRE CHOPPER AND A KNOCK AROUND CAMP KNIFE.
