I have not been impressed with Cold Steel’s fit and finish in previous purchases, so held back from snatching up this beautiful blade when I first saw it in the catalog. It couldn’t possibly be this good in real life . . . I held out for over a year before telling myself that I could. “always send it back” if it didn’t meet my expectations. Well out of the box it blew my expectations into next week! Elegant curve with a substantial false edge, its heft felt solid in my hand while still being ‘wieldy’. The serpentine guard is generous enough for my hand (even gloved) with no cramping or hot spots. The bluing is really nice and increases the aesthetic value of the knife. The sheath is solid and the locking belt frog works as it’s intended. Why did I wait so long? Now I’ll take it to my favorite whetter; Seattle Knife Sharpening, for an edge that is a work of art.

Outstanding Bowie. Can get a razor edge and the grip is strong and solid in the hand. Just a classic. A very good chopper and all around cutter as would be expected. High quality for the price. Highly recommend.

Used extensively while camping in mostly pine forest. Excellent for shaving wood for fires. Great in baton splitting wood. Sharp point for drilling into leather and pieces of wood. Recommend wearing on outside of pack as it can be a bit heavy on belt for long hikes.

a typical Cold steel product: functional, not fancy, good quality
for the price it was a fair deal
have NOT tested the blade on anything substantial but the factory edge is decent on paper and half inch sapling branches
balance to me is obviously point heavy, which is fine
though a heavy piece, could become a functional back woods day knife
Sheath is as expected for the price range: too bad no stone pocket
