Cold Steel Laredo SK-5 Bowie: Value Fighter
69
This video reviews the Cold Steel Laredo SK-5 Bowie knife, highlighting its value as an affordable, large, traditionally-styled combat Bowie. The reviewer praises its massive 10.5-inch blade, full flat grind, deep swedge, substantial handle, brass cross guard, and sturdy leather sheath, suitable for both fighting and wilderness woodcraft. Downsides noted include the SK-5 steel's propensity for rust and scratches from the sheath, though these are deemed minor at its ~$100 price point. The knife is compared favorably to the more expensive Cold Steel Natchez Bowie and custom options, offering significant cutting performance and pride of ownership.
