Cold Steel Natchez Bowie — Snapshot Review

Cold Steel makes incredible knives.  Many of their knives are designed after period pieces.  But don’t be misled, just because they look similar to a period piece knife, doesn’t mean they are just for show.  Often, the opposite is true.  These period knives combine all that is great about the shape and style of a knife with modern materials and production techniques to produce knives that are built for heavy, directed use.  The Natchez Bowie is no exception.  The Bowie knife has a huge fan base .  It first became popular back with Jim Bowie–you can find a short history of him and the knife here.  The Natchez Bowie design originated back in Natchez, Mississippi.  It came to light with the “Under-The-Hill” gang and their capers in the extremely rowdy riverfront district known as Natchez.  The knife was built for battle.  A long, well shaped blade gives you reach, strength and leverage with a near perfect balance point.  Great for piercing, chopping, and slashing; the Natchez Bowie is a period piece that is still relevant today.  Check it out here on our website.  Let me know what Bowie knives you have in the comment section down below.
