Cowboy Bowie Knife

[HardedgeKnives]

The Wild Horse Bowie is a classical western style Bowie that is great for hunting, camping, horse back riding or that just looks good on your belt if full cowboy action dress. The blade is made from 3/16 inch thick 1095 high carbon steel so there is no worry about period correctness. It is differentially heat treated with a hard edge approximatley 60 Rc for retention and softer spine for maximal toughness, this guy is almost unbreakable. The handle is a through tang design with the tang extending all the back and mechanically fastened to the pommel at the end. Its grip consists of traditional leather stacked up with white spacers for highlight and elk antler. The guard and pommel are bass. This knife also has a nice tooled brown leather sheath. The leather is 8-9 ounce weight.

Good looking knife! Very Classic. It's what most everybody thought a hunting/user knife should be before 1970:thumbup:

The aesthetic of this blade will only get better in time with use. Just imagine the aged patina. What a classic!

Thanks JayGoliath and drducati. The knife definately harkens back to an earlier time and has a little shade of Scagle to it. Kelley
