Cold Steel 12″ Bowie (Machete) Review

I don’t want to cover just the expensive uber-cool blades. We’ll go everywhere. Here I discuss the great value that the Cold Steel 12″ Bowie knife represents. Even at just it’s a contender in the survival/combat knife category. Having good steel, a descent sheath, good handle, and reasonable weight you should own at least two. Just remember to get it sharpened properly first! ADD: The 12″ Bowie may lack some hacking capability (in the woods) due to its lighter blade too. Didn’t mention that.

  1. what is whispering for?

  2. You need to learn to use the correct words in context while speaking. When you use incorrect words in a sentence without the proper meaning, it destroys your credibility.

  3. @CzeckTalia yes samurai jack

  4. @CzeckTalia i sharpen my knife but its kind of hard lol

  5. @galletinN I do some mods with a Tres Canales Colombian Machete. What I did is I took a 21 inch Machete and cut it to 15 Inches with a bowie tip. I also have a 14 Inch Tramontina that I also modified to an 12 inch Camping Knife. The Tres Canales can be Shaving sharp in minutes with a 99 cent file and a couple of passes with your own leather belt. This is as cheap as you can go.

  6. @nestornegron good point i took an older one and chopped it down i line in saskachewan so we have alota plains and bush so a god field knife is needed for the ost basic needs my mod took 5 mins with a angel grinder and a machete you can buy them anywere at a desent price i made a rambo 4 style knife and it did good chopping

  8. Machetes are excellent to learn about modifying edges and profiles. If you cannot find a 12 inch Bowie Machete, just go and buy a 16 or 20 inch machete and get a sharpie, draw something you like and go ahead to the grinding or you can even use a hacksaw to do it.

    In Puerto Rico and in any other latin countries, machete mods are very common.
