Please Identify this Cold Steel Bowie

[greathaven]

Hello,
Can anybody tell me what (discontinued) Cold Steel model this is? Is it any good and what was the retail value? It's posted on the local buy and sell site for a very low (I think) price. Any help is appreciated!

I'm reasonably sure that's a fake.

I wasn't sure of that myself, I thought I would see if anyone could tell if it was fake, or could identify it. The sheath looks questionable.

It's a fake Natchez Bowie. There's been two copies for this model around the net for a while, two Chinese low quality fakes. The Laredo Bowie has also ben copied, but the fakes are much less common and are sized like the actual knife from Cold Steel, not a miniaturized version like this Natchez you got.

Yup...fake Natcherado or Laredochez...looks like a Laredo blade with Natchez handle

Definitely a fake.

Communist factories in mainland China pumping out fakes. I believe the P.R.O.C. government actually supports this kind of activity. They certainly don't do anything to stop it, that's for sure. It's up to the consumer to do homework. Don't buy fakes.

Thanks for the help! I'll stay away from this "deal."
