I have two Case xx Bowie's and the Western Bowie, Love them. But after watching several of your videos I had to buy this bowie for my collection and use. For that price who cares what you put it through. Seems awesome. Love all your videos.
Man I thought I needed an expensive Puzon Wilderness Bowie, decided to try to sell it and pick up one of these SZCO Carbon steel bowies instead. I have a couple khukuris and figured this would suit my gear well. 👍
@@DonnieBAllDayyeah it does, just ran it across honing rod and strop a couple times and it shaved hair. I may sand the handle down a bit but this knife and it’s manufacturers deserve a lot of credit.
I bought one and it is a great knife. I beat the heck out of mine and it is a work horse. Mine cost me $26 on Amazon w/ free shipping. The guard came loose. I wrapped some thin wire between the handle and guard and no more wiggles. I'm taking it camping this October to the mountains and am going to abuse it like a rented mule. I have zero doubt it will perform great.
I HAVE the Stainless steel version Had it for year's and I just love it. The look style the S guard looks and the feel and balance like a true iconic American knife. But I have no sheath for it. And I cannot find one anywhere and I would over to have one
They're not too hard to find. Look up Bowie sheath on ebay and find one that fits the blade length. The style is popular so there are always some out there
Seems like I saw this szco high carbon Bowie on Joe Xs chan. and it failed miserably. I think he determined it wasn't heat treated. I might be wrong but I don't think so. Anybody else seen that?
I actually have one of these. The fit and finish is junk, but it's a beast for use. I figured it's a project knife for me..I planned to do like you, replace the handle, hand rub satin the blade. I just never got around to it. I keep using it as my beater, and other than a slight rattle in the guard, it's still holding up to all the abuse I've put it through. I'd still like to at the very least sand and refinish the handle if not replace it, and sand out all the scratches on the blade, but even if I never do..for $20 bucks, it's hard to find a better beater. All I've done to the edge is strop or lightly hone it on a ceramic rod.
Man dogs are bloody awesome, you had me in stitches calling out to your dogs. Thanks for the shout out , I nearly had a brain aneurism today chopping that wood. How do sharpen your preacher & other big choppers ? I got the work sharp ken onion, but I have trouble with the 2nd side . I haven’t mastered it yet. Thanks brother love your vids.
Nice custom job on the knife! Some cheap knives can be surprising on how good they are. I have a cheap Bowie knife; it performs well; however, I don't know the brand name. Perhaps I can make a video on it. I just bought a new knife for my birthday 24 of February it is a Buck 119 nice classic. I'm thinking about getting a Condor Hutson Bay knife. I enjoy your videos 👊🔪
I have several knives with Pakistanie steel all with stag scales oh how I love stag,one surgical stainless the two newest are folders in D2 all great knives.
I just love the Szco High Carbon Bowie. Just a chunk of steel with an edge, and it works. This makes blades like this so fascinating. #22aday Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed. Greetings from Germany!

these things haven't failed me yet
Some fine handle work ol'boy! I always liked the the mods you did to this one
my favorite modded user
wow you made that look awesome 👌
@@JoeSteel1 little bit of work, lotta bit of fun
I got myself one of these a while back and I love the thing. Only thing is if you leave it in the leather sheath it stains the blade pretty good.
Yeah, you have to oil it
That blade and your big arms you just can’t stop it. Hope you and the Mrs. had a fantastic July 4th. Great review and take care and God bless.
Thanks! You too!

I use a 1x30 belt grinder with a light grit, then go to ceramic and leather
@@DonnieBAllDay freehand or have you got a attachment ie angled clamp type thingy me bob ?

Can't go wrong picking up either of those
Mate, if anyone is going to take down a yowie (Australian bigfoot) with a D-bad blade it's going to be "concerned Aussie "..
For certain..🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺👍
Hahahaha . Shit mate I’d prefer to breed with one hahahaha.
@@concernedaussie1330 that aint a huge stretch🤣🇦🇺
@@aussiepete67 lol put the preacher in the hands of the offspring hahahaha.
That would be fun!
