From its huge imposing blade and full tang that’s 1⁄4"" thick to its handsome rosewood handle, every inch of this 1917 Frontier Bowie knife from Cold Steel—often referred to as the Cold Steel 1917 Bowie—screams rugged function. This classic Cold Steel 1917 Bowie design is inspired by the historic fighting knives carried on the American frontier. Almost sword-like in its cutting and thrusting, it features a wide, wickedly keen hand-sharpened blade with a generous clip and huge fuller. Made from 1085 carbon steel, it is heat treated to a hard spring temper and beautifully blued to a lustrous finish. The Cold Steel 1917 Frontier Bowie knife is a favorite among collectors and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a bold, historically inspired blade.
The blade is both long and stiff enough to oppose even much larger weapons, while wide and sharp enough to make the most of every opportunity to cut, thrust and deliver a ""palpable hit"". Its big ""S"" shaped guard offers excellent hand protection while the slim, flat profile stops it from twisting in your hand. Its modified pistol grip also keeps the knife locked safely in your hand even when utilizing a palm reinforced grip for extended reach. Includes leather sheath with removable belt frog.
