Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Case XX Bowie Knife: I Had No Idea

Lots of really nice knives on this thread.

My only Bowie knife is a made in Japan Cold Steel Trail Master. I remember first seeing them about 35 years ago. I couldn’t afford one on paper route money. It was also offered with stag horn or maybe it was bone scales. This was my uncles that I inherited years later.

Lynn Thompson had his detractors but I’ve always liked Cold Steel. Especially the older mostly made in the US or Japan products. His catalogs were cool stuff when I was a kid. The knives were a great combination of useful designs, quality and value with some good old fashion salesmanship and selling the sizzle with the steak. Similar to Mike Dillion in that sense of offering a quality product, knowing his customer base and how to promote the product and make it fun.
