You fucking barefoot man? You got balls to be barefoot when holding that Natchez Bowie. Had a friend drop it and nearly loose his damn steel toes. Your bare foot. You have balls
Hmmm... weird... I'll check on the problem. In any event, his Cold Steel official video was better of course, but he did manage to hack up that cardboard tube pretty well. It's not easy to do as people think. That tube is pretty stiff and cutting it clean through both sides takes a sharp blade.
What fag is looking at his feet and commenting about it while having that Natchez in view?I didn't notice his feet the whole time.The Natchez is beautiful as it should be with a price tag of over $350.00.Just one more thing feet are to walk on it's a shame there are over 30 foot fetish fruit cakes viewing here.
@7blueblood I'm a newbie, so if you don't mind me asking, why would the Laredo be better as a survival knife? I'm just wondering because they both seem like they can do the same things. The Natchez is just a little bigger and slightly curved from what I can see.
@OldManRiver54 it wouldn't. The laredo's clip is sharpened, and that's not something you'd normally want in a survival blade. The Natchez would be awesome in a survival situation. The only cons might be the weight of it and that the steel is more brittle than a carbon steel
@tallswede80 The Laredo bowie in SK-5 is going for around $150 online, do you reckon the Natchez in SK-5 will go for around that as well? Their retail prices are: $274 (Laredo) and $289 (Natchez), so considering that, should the street price for the Natchez be around $150 too?
anybody whining about canada should move to alaska. much cooler place to live, with most of the same outdoors stuff to do. plus we can own handguns. also can carry concealed without a stupid permit. and the cops are less of a nuisance than almost anywhere else, because they cant bust you as easily for stupid crap.
@truemonster1 i hate being busted for stupid crap. like you know... BREAKING THE LAW. such a bummer amirite? i love living in a nation where anybody around me could be A.) carrying a deadly weapon and B.) mentally unhinged. what kind of a stupid nation would limit the distribution of an item that has the capacity to take a human life instantly, at great range, from a population of self entitled over indulgent undereducated irrisponsible morons?
@Treifla as to stupid crap i mean things without proof, or simple things. we have this cool thing called limitations on authority. you cant be thrown into a prison and beaten for something you didnt do. and actually you cant purchase a firearm if you have a history of mental illness. a stupid nation that treats its people as peons, and not citizens with certain rights. besides the fact that its a proven fact that limiting firearm ownership doesnt prevent ANY crime. look at englad and australia.
"you cant be thrown into a prison and beaten for something you didnt do." <--- thats cute, how nieve.
how would one obtain a history of mental illness? you seem to think that everybody who is mentally unstable is registered as such, once again, cute, and nieve.
the nation is stupid, just a news flash, the level of education is disgusting.
this "proof", source? study? methodology? do you even know what the questions i am asking mean?
@Treifla Level of education disgusting? The US has the best higher education system in the world; do you really think we would have such a high influx of international students from Europe to East Asia if it were inferior. Granted the elementary public education system needs reform. I always laugh when Canadians make fun of the US; seeing as how they are such freeloaders, leeching of many of the US' services just due to proximity; national defense, healthcare (due to waitlists), education etc.
yes, level of education, it is abysmal. the fact that you are defending it further proves my point. there are nations where the highest levels aren't as good, i will grant that, but the education is mch more accessable, and thus the mean level of education is much greater. the US on the other hand has a few intellegent people living is a sesspool of stupidity.
how exactly are we "leeching" off of any of those systems?
@RebelWrestler45 who the fuck would want to attack Canada? nobody, the United states may be a target, but thats because your international Douchebags. the states is known for throwing temper tantrums in the middle east when they don't get their way. Canada is known for holding their ground, when all other countries have pulled out, to save people from mass genocide.
@RebelWrestler45 now please explain to me how we are leeching off of healthcare? this should bereally good considering.....
80% of the worlds supply of radio isotopes come from alberta (have fun fughting cancer if Canada stops suplying, or even knowing what is wrong in your body.)
but aside from that. you obviously have no grasp on BASIC economics, uif we go down south for a procedure, we are paying money for a service. further more we are injecting money into your country.
this way we would consider your healthcare and export on your part, an import on ours, and if you know ANYTHING about economics you will know the significance of that in context to GDP
if anything, canada is leveraging your country into a greatness it couldn't acheive otherwise, but i didn't expect you to know that, your education is terrible.
@Treifla ok, so you could be thrown into prison, but it is a million times harder than it is in many other countries. a history of mental illness iseither commiting oneself, or having been committed involuntarily. this goes into a federal database. and no, not everyone who is unstable is registered, that would be impossible. but again, limiting access to firearms doesnt prevent crime anyway. my proof, is my own research, plus the research of numerous polling groups, surveys, a number of stats.
@truemonster1 and what kind of credentials do you have to make such claims? i doubt your even out of highschool, let alone have a doctorate, and even if you had a doctorate you would have to have your research go through academic institutions to be recognized. how many of those stats do you think were funded by the NRA? so nieve.
@Treifla actually one set of statistics comes from australias own govt on pre and post firearm ban crime rates. another was a study actually funded by an anti gun group. and for your information, im 28 years old, married and have 3 children. so please try to stop being a pretentious asshole. why do you have such a negative attitude towards firearm ownership? have you ever been involved in a violent encouter? i doubt you have. having a college degree doesnt make you better than others.
my level of education on statisticle analysis is an introduction university course, but thats all i needed to learn exactly how easy it is to fudge the numbers in your favour. what methodologies did your sources use? were they biased? what alpha values were used? z-scores or t-scores? any other kind of scores? what kind of testing?
stats are nothing more then a biased mathematicle argument. with the right values in my formula i could actually "disprove" gravity.
@Treifla by that same logic, youre level of education in the subject is meaningless then too. yes, stats can be doctored and set up to prove conclusions. but that doesnt mean they all are. by your same logic how can anyone prove or disprove anything when using statistics to show a trend in information? youre basically saying that unless you personally gathered the data, nothing anyone else says could possibly be true or right.
your almost there, there is no such thing as hard fact, to say so would be the same as saying there is any one static or constant thing in this universe, which is false (that might actually be the only one truth if you think about it)
take for instance your government commisioned stats. what was THEIR bias? what was their methodology, what other factors influence their crime? was it all crime that stayed constant? or gun crime?
@Treifla the thing is, even if their isnt any such thing as hard facts, one has to behave as if there is, otherwise its impossible to forge any sort of civilized life. the govt stas were probably meant to be biased towards the legitimacy of banning firearms. but actually showed the opposite. it was certain types of crimes rate of reported occurrence that went up by a huge margin. 400% for felony level assaults.
@Treifla no, im not quite sure what you are trying to get at, other than sarcastically disparaging firearms and those who choose to own them. not to mention dissing my country in favor of canada. which already shows a low iq. everyone knows that canada is the pretentious asshole of north america.
@Waterman117 the reason ju-jitsu fighters "dominated" the first few years is because the mma rules favor the submission fighter, he can use all of his techniques pretty much without restriction, while the striker is greatly restricted as to where and how he can strike, the reason for that is that it's much easier to kill/maim a guy with a strike than a submission technique, in a real world no holds barred deathmatch between 2 equally skilled fighters the striker has the advantage
the major difference between the two fighting wise (in my opinion) the fact the natchez blade is curved all the way to the tang as opposed to the laredo which is mostly strait. curved blades are far better slashers. the handle on the natchez also looks like it would be far easier to keep a firm grip on (less likely to twist in your hand.)
I have found that the extra weight and size offer a very marginal advantage in the Natchez as compared to the Laredo. I have a friend with one and I have the Laredo and find that for me the trade is not worth it. My experience with both leads me to think that for me the Laredo is a better knife as the knife I am willing to carry is the best knife and this one offers a good ratio of super performance for not as much weight, size, price.
natchez because bowie knives have more capability a kukri will slash and cut like no other but is more difficult in terms of batoning and piercing not that it coudnt but it is tougher with a kukri.
The Natchez Bowie is way overpriced though. Niether knife should have any application in fighting, it's senseless. For the price of one N-Bowie you could buy 3 or 4 guns and loads of ammo, which is a far superior self defense tool than a knife.
For $356? You could still buy two guns at the very least. I could easily find a good pistol and rifle for well under that much. If I had that much money and was concerned about self defense, I'd opt for the gun in a heartbeat. It's ridiculous to spend so much on a knife like that for anything other than utility. Their nightshade series would function just fine in the defense department for little over 3% of the price. Shit, I could buy a pistol, a rifle, and 1 or 2 nightshade knives.
I saw those UFC matches. He beat Ken Shamrock. Those times have passed, and Gracie has been beaten. A good big fighter will always beat a good small fighter. When a big fighter learns Gracie's technique, Gracie gets beaten.
haha you'll be fine if you punch a rock? Are you on drugs? If nothing else, it's going to tear up your flesh.
Nonsense. Seasoned fighters can break their hand by hitting someone without gloves. Bones are hard. They contain calcium and magnesium, the same elements in rocks. What happens when you punch a rock?
Chokes or submission locks only work if you can overcome your opponent, which means you have to be stronger and heavier. So that's great if you are, but non lethal blows with a knife is useful when you're facing someone who is bigger and heavier.
I've just seen it shredded by guys like Ayoob, is a complete sentence. It has a subject, predicate and an object. If you don't know what a sentence is then I'm wasting my time talking to you.
Well, then my mind has not been corrupted by this Ayoob.
Even? That's a laugh. You couldn't catch me if I fell asleep for the next 15 years. What difference does it make if I was in the military? Were you in the military?
Boxers wear glove because at a professional level a solid punch to the head would kill someone. Do you have any hand to hand combat experience at all ?
@natrick123 Boxers wear gloves to keep their hands from being broken, a person with a wrapped, gloved hand is actually able to impart more force to his target, due to the rigidity of the wrist and knuckle structure, providing of course that he is using competition gloves, and not sparring gloves 12 oz and above. An ungloved hand will do far more soft tissue and facial damage, but with less overall force.
"a knife is deadly force from the time it is drawn."
Nonsense. A knife is an object, not a "force".
"Using it in a less than lethal manner suggests you didn't need it in the first place"
More nonsense. What the attacker runs when he sees the knife, or you cut his hand and he drops the gun, do you need to use it in a "lethal manner" then?
" I can more easily dispatch you with a head shot than with a beheading."
"Using it in a less than lethal manner suggests you didn't need it in the first place." "More nonsense. What the attacker runs when he sees the knife, or you cut his hand and he drops the gun, do you need to use it in a "lethal manner" then?"
I know this comment was made 3 months ago but you have impeccable logic. It's just amazing how stupid some people are and know nothing about knives.
I've found that most people in this country are infantile and stupid, and there is a higher concentration of the infantile and stupid among the police than anywhere else.
The police in this country are as close to retarded as you can get without having Down's Syndrome.
I think that quote was from a conversation with a cop.
Agreed. I'm in the military and I've used my Natchez many times without killing anyone with it. The size of that knife alone is often enough to dispatch a threat through intimidation. There are also retards in Canada, and lots of them are cops, however I think theres more in the USA.
Wait this guy wasn't a cop as far as I know, but he gave me his name and address and told me to come to his house and fight him. He was quite a character.
@firestar9999 yes there is retard cops especally were i live but i just think its a little rude to say behind a screen were people from other countrys can read and take offense to it
@ironDsteele - There is a big difference between using something in a less than lethal manner after a certain condition has been met, and going into a situation with the intention of using something for a less than lethal defense. both of those examples are a function of changing conditions. You should always be prepared to use lethal force unless conditions change.
@ironDsteele pulling a knife could pompt an attacker to pull a gun, at range, or to use an allready pulled gun with deadly force.
if you are close enough to slash at a wrist, your are close enough to grab or knock away a gun, and if you CAN slash the wrist, then you can grab the gun without being in any danger as your attacker appears to be pants on head retarded.
no matter what you say, and escallation of force is never a good self defence measure, WW1 proved that.
@Treifla and WWII proved that escalation of force is a good self defense measure. I agree that it is never a good idea to bring a knife to a gun fight, as said force multipliers are not equal in effective lethality, but the idea that 'You won't hurt me if I won't hurt you' is just laughably naive. Many times a preemptive escalation of force can save one's life. Otherwise, you leave the option of force escalation to your adversary.
@RebelWrestler45 thats a terrible example, in order for your analagy to be accurate, they would have had to have used the atom bomb before the war started.
speaking of which, wasn't it the escalation of force from the japaneese that caused a war that they lost? pearl harbour was a retaliation against a foe that they could not have defeated. a more political / defensive role would have suited them better.
@Treifla If the US actually had the atom bomb in 1941, you can be sure that they would have used it immediately upon declaration of war. And I would consider the use of an atom bomb escalation of force, compared to artillery and 500 pounders. And if you remember, it was us who declared war on Japan first, even though it was a response to Japan's preemptive strike. People, by nature want to do that which satisfies their natural desires, which in many cases involves hurting people.
News flash, the war didn't start in 1941, thats only when your lazy asses decided that saving millions of lives from intense suffering was worth their time. for what you are saying to be acurate, they would have had to have used it before the war started, september 1st, 1939.
"speaking of which, wasn't it the escalation of force from the japaneese that caused a war that they lost?" <--- please improve on your reading comprehension.
@Treifla I think you fail to understand the analogy; which was to compare personal defense to US escalation of force in WW2. The US was not a party in the conflict until Dec. 7, 1941; therefore we would have had to initiate aggression if we were to attack the Japanese pre Dec. 7. This is different than escalating the level of force in an already aggressive situation, which we able to do courtesy of the Manhattan project. And out of this chaos, and escalation of force, came order- Nietzsche
i don't fail to undestand the analogy, the analogy is wrong, plain and simple, just because you weren't in the war (selfishly thinking it wasn't your problem) doesn't mean the war started when you entered. the war was raging on a global scale, in order for your analogy to be correct you would have had to strike pre-emptivly, before any hostilities between any parties involved in the war, but nice try.
@Treifla I never suggested the war started when we entered; we just were not a party to said conflict until Pearl Harbor. A country's interests lie only with those of its people, not some international sense of duty. Let me make it simple, a pre-emptive strike would be equivalent to the initiation of aggression (i.e. a criminal pulls out a weapon); escalation of force, the use of a more lethal force multiplier (A-bomb), is only possible when a state of active aggression has been demonstrated.
The gun is inferior because it only has one level of force. With a knife like these you have OPTIONS. If I slap someone with the side of it, they won't die, but they won't remember their name for a few hours.
And another thing, you can shoot someone 6 times without making them stop what they're doing, but if I cut off your head, you're finished.
"Tell me what are the chances that all of the following occur together."
Why don't you tell me?
"I have a knife, you have a knife, we both know we have knives, neither one of us has a gun and we're fighting?"
The hammer is pretty common tool right? What about a screwdriver? Icepick? Piece of chain? Stick? Monkey wrench? Steel Pipe? Dowel? Bowling pin? Cane? Rock? Mailbox stand? Fence post? 2x4? Your mother? Whatever object happens to be laying on the ground?
the natchez is $670 and the laredo is $600. this is cause they are both in san mai which pretty much means you can hit it with a sledgehammer. cold steel then came out with the laredo in SK-5 high carbon which cant take as much abuse thats the one he has in his video which is $200. the natchez did not come out with sk-5 high carbon thats why its more expensive. keep in mind im getting these prices from the cold steel web site. ive seen the sk-5 laredo as low as $70 and the natchez as low as $370
You fucking barefoot man? You got balls to be barefoot when holding that Natchez Bowie. Had a friend drop it and nearly loose his damn steel toes. Your bare foot. You have balls

the major difference between the two fighting wise (in my opinion) the fact the natchez blade is curved all the way to the tang as opposed to the laredo which is mostly strait. curved blades are far better slashers. the handle on the natchez also looks like it would be far easier to keep a firm grip on (less likely to twist in your hand.)

I have found that the extra weight and size offer a very marginal advantage in the Natchez as compared to the Laredo. I have a friend with one and I have the Laredo and find that for me the trade is not worth it. My experience with both leads me to think that for me the Laredo is a better knife as the knife I am willing to carry is the best knife and this one offers a good ratio of super performance for not as much weight, size, price.

who is the best cutter? natchez or gurkha kukri?

natchez because bowie knives have more capability a kukri will slash and cut like no other but is more difficult in terms of batoning and piercing not that it coudnt but it is tougher with a kukri.

MrConner227 2 years ago
The Natchez Bowie is way overpriced though. Niether knife should have any application in fighting, it's senseless. For the price of one N-Bowie you could buy 3 or 4 guns and loads of ammo, which is a far superior self defense tool than a knife.

xBADxB4NDITOx 2 years ago
For $356? You could still buy two guns at the very least. I could easily find a good pistol and rifle for well under that much. If I had that much money and was concerned about self defense, I'd opt for the gun in a heartbeat. It's ridiculous to spend so much on a knife like that for anything other than utility. Their nightshade series would function just fine in the defense department for little over 3% of the price. Shit, I could buy a pistol, a rifle, and 1 or 2 nightshade knives.

xBADxB4NDITOx 2 years ago
Nonsense. Seasoned fighters can break their hand by hitting someone without gloves. Bones are hard. They contain calcium and magnesium, the same elements in rocks. What happens when you punch a rock?
Chokes or submission locks only work if you can overcome your opponent, which means you have to be stronger and heavier. So that's great if you are, but non lethal blows with a knife is useful when you're facing someone who is bigger and heavier.
tallswede80 2 years ago
you dont have to be stronger and definitely not heavier.

Boxers wear glove because at a professional level a solid punch to the head would kill someone. Do you have any hand to hand combat experience at all ?
natrick123 2 years ago
@natrick123 Boxers wear gloves to keep their hands from being broken, a person with a wrapped, gloved hand is actually able to impart more force to his target, due to the rigidity of the wrist and knuckle structure, providing of course that he is using competition gloves, and not sparring gloves 12 oz and above. An ungloved hand will do far more soft tissue and facial damage, but with less overall force.

Nonsense. A knife is an object, not a "force".

More nonsense. What the attacker runs when he sees the knife, or you cut his hand and he drops the gun, do you need to use it in a "lethal manner" then?
" I can more easily dispatch you with a head shot than with a beheading."
That's your opinion, and it's irrelevant.

mudgunn 2 years ago
@ironDsteele - There is a big difference between using something in a less than lethal manner after a certain condition has been met, and going into a situation with the intention of using something for a less than lethal defense. both of those examples are a function of changing conditions. You should always be prepared to use lethal force unless conditions change.
KurNorock 1 year ago
@ironDsteele pulling a knife could pompt an attacker to pull a gun, at range, or to use an allready pulled gun with deadly force.
if you are close enough to slash at a wrist, your are close enough to grab or knock away a gun, and if you CAN slash the wrist, then you can grab the gun without being in any danger as your attacker appears to be pants on head retarded.
no matter what you say, and escallation of force is never a good self defence measure, WW1 proved that.
Treifla 1 year ago
@Treifla and WWII proved that escalation of force is a good self defense measure. I agree that it is never a good idea to bring a knife to a gun fight, as said force multipliers are not equal in effective lethality, but the idea that 'You won't hurt me if I won't hurt you' is just laughably naive. Many times a preemptive escalation of force can save one's life. Otherwise, you leave the option of force escalation to your adversary.
RebelWrestler45 1 year ago
@RebelWrestler45 thats a terrible example, in order for your analagy to be accurate, they would have had to have used the atom bomb before the war started.
speaking of which, wasn't it the escalation of force from the japaneese that caused a war that they lost? pearl harbour was a retaliation against a foe that they could not have defeated. a more political / defensive role would have suited them better.
people, by nature, do not want to hurt people.
Treifla 1 year ago
@Treifla If the US actually had the atom bomb in 1941, you can be sure that they would have used it immediately upon declaration of war. And I would consider the use of an atom bomb escalation of force, compared to artillery and 500 pounders. And if you remember, it was us who declared war on Japan first, even though it was a response to Japan's preemptive strike. People, by nature want to do that which satisfies their natural desires, which in many cases involves hurting people.
RebelWrestler45 1 year ago
@RebelWrestler45
News flash, the war didn't start in 1941, thats only when your lazy asses decided that saving millions of lives from intense suffering was worth their time. for what you are saying to be acurate, they would have had to have used it before the war started, september 1st, 1939.
"speaking of which, wasn't it the escalation of force from the japaneese that caused a war that they lost?" <--- please improve on your reading comprehension.
and by the way, nobody likes Nietzsche
Treifla 1 year ago
@Treifla I think you fail to understand the analogy; which was to compare personal defense to US escalation of force in WW2. The US was not a party in the conflict until Dec. 7, 1941; therefore we would have had to initiate aggression if we were to attack the Japanese pre Dec. 7. This is different than escalating the level of force in an already aggressive situation, which we able to do courtesy of the Manhattan project. And out of this chaos, and escalation of force, came order- Nietzsche
RebelWrestler45 1 year ago
@RebelWrestler45 cool story bro, too bad it's wrong.
i don't fail to undestand the analogy, the analogy is wrong, plain and simple, just because you weren't in the war (selfishly thinking it wasn't your problem) doesn't mean the war started when you entered. the war was raging on a global scale, in order for your analogy to be correct you would have had to strike pre-emptivly, before any hostilities between any parties involved in the war, but nice try.
Treifla 1 year ago
@Treifla I never suggested the war started when we entered; we just were not a party to said conflict until Pearl Harbor. A country's interests lie only with those of its people, not some international sense of duty. Let me make it simple, a pre-emptive strike would be equivalent to the initiation of aggression (i.e. a criminal pulls out a weapon); escalation of force, the use of a more lethal force multiplier (A-bomb), is only possible when a state of active aggression has been demonstrated.
RebelWrestler45 1 year ago
The gun is inferior because it only has one level of force. With a knife like these you have OPTIONS. If I slap someone with the side of it, they won't die, but they won't remember their name for a few hours.
And another thing, you can shoot someone 6 times without making them stop what they're doing, but if I cut off your head, you're finished.

the natchez is $670 and the laredo is $600. this is cause they are both in san mai which pretty much means you can hit it with a sledgehammer. cold steel then came out with the laredo in SK-5 high carbon which cant take as much abuse thats the one he has in his video which is $200. the natchez did not come out with sk-5 high carbon thats why its more expensive. keep in mind im getting these prices from the cold steel web site. ive seen the sk-5 laredo as low as $70 and the natchez as low as $370
