Surely you jest. The sarcasm is strong in your comment. The most awesome & informative video you have ever seen? Really? Seriously? I trust you were being facetious. If not, you need to get out more & expand your horizons. Absolutely nothing here that was "informative' or "awesome".
My very first Bowie was a Schrade, although these days I go for pricier types such as a couple of Cold Steels, a 1980 Case Bowie, and a couple of Custom Bowie's. That Schrade is quite a looker though. Happy hunting. :-)
I've had a 1650t woodsman from the same people for a good bit now, always held a good edge and has been quite sturdy. I mainly use it as a self defense knife, but it seems decently tough
A lot of people think if you pay a lot for the items they are better, I use a tool for what it was made for, chopping I use an AX or hatchet, for slashing or stabbing I use a knife, the blade does not have to be thick, just sharp, I have a Schrade bowie, I rounded the handle and put a edge on it, IT WORKS, I also carry a pistol that cost under 300 dollars it works just fine. SHTF and you got what you got make it work.
Now that's a knife. Don't think I'd want to pack that monster all day in the woods though LOL. It's not a bad looking blade but wonder how hard it'll be to re sharpen.
Cabelas had these on sale a couple of years ago at half price. So I bought 2 for the price of one. They come on a bubble pack as you showed. This is why I like a box and hate bubble packs. The one knife was a hundred percent okay. But the other one came with a loose guard. I haven't fixed it as of yet. I was planning on removing the handle and replacing it with something else. That way it will look like an entirely different knife. Schrade makes a lot of other blades. I also have the Leroy Bowie. But for a big Bushcrafter knife I bought a SCHF52. Good video on this knife, haven't seen anyone else review this knife. It's definitely a worthwhile purchase of a classic style Bowie Knife.
They have some joker on Amazon selling the same knife for $75. I bought two last year for Christmas. One for my oldest stepson and myself. Anyways I paid $20 a piece at my local WalMart and each one came with a pocket knife. I have no complaints about it. If you break it buy another one. Gonna buy my eight year old son a Old Timer skinner for his first knife. Short blade full tang knife so it doesn't close on his fingers. I grew up having Shrade/Old Timer and Buck knives, so will my sons. There good dependable knives and don't cost alot.
The Long Velcro strap is designed to be unsnapped from around the handle and wrapped around the sheath, then snapped in back, out of the way, allowing the draw w/o slicing the strap. Or so i surmise. A most useful mode when a quick draw w/o damage is desired. Signifies readiness to the initiated, sort of a hammer strap slipped of a revolver hammer, ready... ☆
Where I live black bears are the killers in the mountains. People underestimate bears . I've had several close calls . A bear will run away from you like his ass is on fire , but , 9 out of 10 times they will circle back around you , and watch you. They are assessing you. If they think you're a cripple , handicapped ,or easy pickings they will crawl toward you and at 30 to 40 yards . Blast out after you . between 5-10 seconds you'll have a 300 to 500 lb bear trying to put wings on you. A bear can out run a horse , so flight is not an option. A bowie can kill a bear with one stab to the ribs or one blow to the nose. Going for a gun isn't smart because you have to do major damage fast. To a wild animal a knife does #5 times the damage of a pistol round. That's major damage fast. Usually the bear will flee and die from blood loss. Not so with a pistol. Hitting a bear in the nose will also make it run instantly as well. Far easier to hit it with a hawk or Bowie than a bullet. People have become brainwashed that guns do everything . The reason knives were so very important in the old days. Is they did massive damage to humans and animals. And were affordable vs a gun. The Bowie was invented because of one simple reason. Flintlocks and muzzleloaders were very slow to reload , and a deadly backup was often needed . Guns and bullets were very expensive , nothing like today. Many sheriff's and deputy's were supplied a gun and ammo by the town . Because your average Joe couldn't even afford the ammo. Hollywood has stretched the truth so badly , everyone believes every settler had a pistol and a lever action rifle . When in fact 1 out of 10 households had #1 old flintlock. That's how rare they actually were. During the civil war it was against the law to own or posses a gun. And that was on both sides. Hollywood has people believing anything and everything. Peace.
Well this is not the old days and my 44mag with 350 grain +p + hard cast buffalo bore is moving at 1425 fps with 1533 ft lbs of energy that will turn him a flip and just maybe inside out lol 😆 don't get me wrong I like my knifes I have that same knife and a damm good kukrie
@@jamesjohnson4163 If you ever get the opportunity or chance to go to Africa or Alaska on a big game hunt, you'll find 99% of the guides, carrying a bowie or kukri in addition to their 44 mag. Very few carries auto's almost everyone I've ever seen has a wheel gun. The nose is the magic spot on a bear or lion. I have the super Blackhawk and the super Redhawk. and carry them exclusively on big game hunts. But I always carry regular 240 hard casts. Simple is always better. A 44 mag does it without the need for exotic rounds. I shot a hyena close too close. It spun in a circle #3 times and flopped. Dead as a doornail. And anyone will tell you they are the toughest animal in Africa. Their bite is stronger than a lion and full of dead rotted meat. People fear them more than lions. Peace.
I've been hunting in Alaska and manatoba Canada hell I live in East Tennessee in the Appalachian mountains I'm not saying I know it all but after sixty years I've picked up quite a bit while in the woods I prefer packing my bisley ruger an my kukri along with my 30 06 hell my edc is a 2in 357mag I have many automatics and wheel Guns I prefer wheel guns but I do pocket carry a double stack 9mm for backup. Happy hunting
@@jamesjohnson4163 I live in the Blue Ridge mountains of Va. Unfortunately, we had a Bigfoot stroll into camp one night. A 9mm just doesn't cut it anymore while in the woods. It's a 44 mag always and forever. I wish it had never happened; I wish I had never seen it. It changed all of us. And not for the better. We all know who the boss of the woods is now. If you could buy hand grenades, I'd be carrying them too. It's one thing to hee-haw and have fun about them. Till you actually are less than than 10 feet from one. Scariest things you will ever see. And they are very real. Peace.
I just cut the living hell out of my left palm with this beast. About an hour ago slicing an apple. What I call a band aid is called 5-6 stitches for others.
I like big bowies and have owned many the western w49 is my favorite .I recently bought a Cold Steel wild west bowie it's a beast and made like a western w49 only bigger. .. longer and heavier
The most awesome and informative video I have ever seen. You are the MAN!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks for the kind words I really appreciate it. 👍😁

That thing is cool. Tractor supply gets me every time with these kinds of impulse buys.😂
They got real nice pocket knives. I've had one for a few years now and its still sharp and looking good. Good little knife
That's awesome. I will have to pick one up😀

This would definitely be a good self defense knife LOL you pull that bad boy out and they tend to run in the other direction🤣😉

I'm sure your son is going to love it it's nice to hear that you are passing on the tradition of collecting knives. Kudos to you sir😁
The Velcro is to fold it backward behind blade handle to use without snap closure
I have several different Schrades knives , and none of them ever disappointed
Yes, The knifes always keep me happy. 👌🏻
Awesome when attacking a pizza 🍕...it can’t be beat... actually the pizza 🍕 would be thick if you need more knife.
I believe the Scottish Claymore would be the best tool for cutting thick Pizza🤣🍕
Great knife I’m a Bowie knife fan as well

Ur my favourite TH-camr

Wow that sucks. Hope you heal fast.
Where is the Schrade Old Timer Bowie made, and do you know what steel it is
I have no idea. This video was made along time ago 😁
I took off the plastic handle and made wood ones alot better.
How's the tang when you took off the plastic handle? Skeletonized or is it solid ?
@@luicha6404 it's solid except for the holes where the pins go through.
@@wildwill3336 ah that's good to hear, thank you for the info!
I like it too...🤘
It definitely is cool😆
Gotta love Canadians
Yea EH? 😂
EH :)
Leather sheath would look so much better
A agree 100%
I got one it shaves and cuts paper not bad knife at all
Yeah, I'm sure you will find it very reliable.

Bowie's get pretty big...to the point where you just start calling them swords! 😂
The handle material oxides in the elements. The Velcro??? It’s useless!
Can I skin a deer with this knife though
I have no idea. My best guess is YES.
Ok because I just ordered this knife thinking it would be good for defense if my gun jams and for skinning purposes
@@pabloolvera8526it should work great.
No, sir. This would be a very bad option for skinning
@@pabloolvera8526 Wayyyy to big of a knife to skin a deer.

Knives should come in a box; not that cheap plastic shit! That doesn't say much for the knife company!
