Description
This compact Bowie knife carries a full profile tang blade forged from high-quality steel, offering reliable strength and resilience for demanding use. The blade’s thickness and shape are crafted to hold an edge through tough tasks, whether cutting or piercing. The handle scales are fashioned from hardwood, shaped and smoothed to fit comfortably in the hand, providing a steady grip even in wet or slippery conditions. Accompanying the blade is a thick leather scabbard, designed to shield the knife’s edge and protect the user when the blade is not in use.
