Review: Yes, This One - Short version: Buy this one. It's good. You won't be sorry. Seriously, stop reading this and buy the knife. Considerably less short version: I bought a Trailmaster Bowie in Carbon V when they first came out and were still made in the USA. I cold blued the blade and carried it on my web gear for years. As one might expect, it took quite a beating over the years, but it did everything I asked it to do, and it always sharpened up shaving-sharp. Wonderful piece of American steel, still have it. This new one is forged from CPM 3V , and this is what the Google AI summary has to say about CPM 3V vs Carbon V: "CPM 3V steel is generally considered significantly better than carbon 5 steel, particularly in terms of toughness and resistance to chipping, while still offering good edge retention, making it a preferred choice for applications requiring high durability and impact resistance, especially in knives, where carbon 5 steel might be more prone to breaking or chipping due to its higher carbon content and lower toughness. Key differences: *Toughness: CPM 3V is significantly tougher than carbon 5 steel, meaning it can withstand more impact without chipping or breaking. *Edge Retention: While CPM 3V has good edge retention, carbon 5 steel, with its higher carbon content, might hold an edge slightly better but at the cost of reduced toughness. *Corrosion Resistance: CPM 3V is typically considered more corrosion resistant than carbon 5 steel due to its alloy composition." The new one has one or two slight differences from the original, the most notable of which is a steel crossguard instead of the original's brass - but that's just my esthetic preference. It comes with the new Secure-Ex composite sheath, which I like much more than the original leather sheath and the first model ballistic nylon sheath (which is the one I had on my web gear.) Other raters have complained that the Secure-Ex sheath is just that bit too tight and it can dull the belly of the blade. Time will tell, and I'll update as appropriate. The Original Carbon V was $80.00 US back in the mid 1980s; as of 26 JAN 2025, this new CPM 3V was $280.00 US, and it came out of the box razor-frickin'-sharp! Do I need this one? No probably not; my 40+ years old original is still going strong, but boy howdy, I sure did WANT this one. My opinion - money well spent. I'm very pleased. Highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best all around Cold Steel Bowie!
*by A***R on June 21, 2026*

Incredible best Cold Steel ever! Razor sharp beautifully done! High quality!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best survival Bowie and backwoods survival knives.
*by T***N on June 20, 2026*

Love it I mean it's a thick powerful chunk of American CPM 3V!!! One of my all time favorite true backwoods Bowie survival knife. It can do anything although I recommend to have a SRK 3V for smaller medium sized work and a SR1 S35VN for smaller work. Personally I actually carry that exact set up. Sometimes I throw on the belt the Recon Scout CPM 3V for gnarly medium action stuff. It's just you carry those and you will never need anything else. blade wise with you. I will always have to much ammo or to many blades on me than ever be low on ammo or blade side.
