Bought one of these recently to round out my bowie selection. I notice that I received one of the last that AC had in stock and it appears that  it will be awhile before they get more... It is a heavy knife and sheath and I wear it on a separate belt so that my trews don't drop to my ankles...
1085 is a good steel that will take a good edge. Often used on swords and it's easy to understand why- it's tough steel!.
Feels good in the hands and looks pretty too, thanks to the heavy bluing on the blade and cross-guard.. Took it apart and noticed that the cross-guard is brazed or welded to the tang/blade.. appears to be a one-piece blade and tang. Rosewood grips that add a lot to the looks.
The removable frog system is very handy if I want to lay the knife down in the sheath and leave the frog on the belt for quick re-attachment to my belt. Very pleased for the money, very pleased indeed.!

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.
