    A Bowie knife is an excellent tool to have in your pack. It is super versatile. It is great for both chopping and carving. It does the job of both a hatchet and a fixed blade knife. It can do the job of two tools. Here we demo the Western Bowie which I think is the best Bowie knife you can have.

    My dad had a Western from the mid 60s until he passed away. Many camping and backpacking miles on it. I now have it.

    Good points. It’s no accident the Marines chose a Bowie for their famous combat utility knife. I remember when those Western Bowie’s were sold. Wish I had bought one then!

    Got my W-49 in 1987. Carried, and used, it for nine years straight working on a cattle ranch in Texas.
    I still have it. It’s earned a place in one of my “first-grab” go-bags.

    I've always had a love for Bowie knives ever since my uncle gave me one of his handmade knives over 30 years ago & I've owned quite a few production Bowies also Case, Western etc, as for store bought the Cold Steel Trail master is hard to beat. 🤙

    Those Western Kinves are great knives - the heat treatment is proprietary, and they keep an edge better than any long knives I have ever owned...

    No, a hatchet is much better you can do a lot with it if it's real sharp. I've skinned a lot of squirrels with mine and made many trap triggers with it. I knew a man who skinned muskrats with his hatchet. I do like a good bowie knife for bush craft as well. It does better cutting through briers than the hatchet. If i want to travel lighter then I pack the bowie.

    I have come to the conclusion that no one on youtube knows how to use a large knife as a brushing and fire wood tool !
    review after eview and some even say that a knife is not a good chopper when they are unskilled city bumbs !

    The western Bowie is actually mint for fighting. Not bush craft. Many American soldiers in Vietnam carried the western Bowie in battle. One of the greatest Bowie's made. Well until it was sold to camillus in the 80's. Camillus changed the steel to stainless instead of the originals that were hand forged in high carbon 1095. Get a old one from the early years. They are much better built than the camillus ones.

      Good to know. My dad had one of the older ones from years back ( probably 70s maybe 80s ). Mine was bought somewhere shortly after 2000 I think.
