## Description

COLD STEEL LAREDO BOWIE FIXED BLADE KNIFE: Awesome is the only adjective that even begins to describe the Cold Steel Laredo Bowie. It has to be seen to be appreciated since mere words just don't do it justice. It features a long, heavy blade made from CPM-3V tool steel blade construction, which is flat ground to produce incredible cutting power and perfect balance. And, as a bonus, it is given a ferocious cutting edge that terminates in a dagger-sharp point. To further enhance its versatility and efficiency as a weapon, it sports a four-and-a-half-inch long sharpened clip point that helps facilitate the deadly back cut, as well as a wide variety of more conventional cuts and stabbing attacks. The black G10 handle is as tough as it is beautiful. It is specially contoured to fit the hand like a glove and to provide a positive grip when cutting, chopping, or thrusting. Each Laredo Bowie is supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely on your side always ready to defend you and your loved ones.

Review: Giant Bowie Knife - It’s a giant Bowie knife. Do I need something like this? Absolutely not, but I can’t deny the primal feeling of power you get when holding this. I know Cold Steel has had some quality issues in the last few years but I got lucky and received one with perfect grinding and finish work. The steel and build is far more durable than I’ll ever need out of it and it comes adequately sharpened both on the main edge and top clip. My only complaint is that the plastic sheath seems a bit “cheap” for this style of knife, but is far more practical in the long run. A good way to waste money if you like this sort of thing.
Review: Brief Review - Overall I like the Laredo I received. It has good fit and finish, the blade is not overground like you see on some of the reviews posted here, there is no appreciable gap between the blade and the guard that would allow liquid to seep down into the handle, and the G-10 handle is a lot less slippery than the polished Micarta handle on the O-1 version I purchased. The guard and the metal piece immediately under the guard are NOT brass like on the O-1 version. It seems to be stainless steel since my magnet will not stick to it. I like this arrangement much better since the part where your thumb rests when using the sabre grip gives you a better gripping surface like it was jimping. It is much easier to grip the knife than with the brass version. One negative is that the blade is not really 10.5 inches like cold steel says. The cutting edge is only 10.0 inches. The last half inch of the blade is all ricasso, with no cutting edge. This compares unfavorably with another very well made top brand whose cutting edges on their knives are actually exactly what is stated. i.e both of the knives I purchased from them state their blade length as 7.5 inches. I measured the blade cutting edges at 7.5 inches, then the ricasso begins bringing the total length to 8.0 inches. I feel this is a bit deceptive on cold steel's part to state the blade length is 10.5 inches, when the cutting edge is only 10.0 inches and the other half inch is all ricasso. Just my opinion, but something I think the buyer should be aware of. I found this same discrepancy on the O-1 version of the Laredo as well as three other well know cold steel knives I purchased through desertcart. So, caveat emptor!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Bowie!
*by B***V on October 14, 2024*

Excellent knife. Great steel (CPM 3V). Might be the best right now for large blades. A much better knife, overall, than when it was introduced. Cable tang is meant to buffer vibration. G10 handle is more than capable of surviving the impacts, where the older handle (faux Cocobolo) wasn't as sturdy. This version is well worth the extra money over the 4034 blade, which is a budget steel. Balance point is about an inch in front of the guard--a little blade heavy, as desired, and quick for a big Bowie. I nearly bought this a couple of decades ago. I'm really happy that I waited. It's designed as a fighter, really. Not going to baton logs with this. I just want to swing it around and, maybe, hang a chicken on a rope or something for my own Forged in Fire experience. I've held the Natchez bowie, which is a beast. It's a beautiful knife but the Laredo feels great and I'm glad that I chose it over the Natchez. The sheath is alright but I'm going to look for another one worthy of the Laredo--custom leather or kydex. If you're on the fence go ahead and jump over it. Fantastic knife and a great value.
