Great Western Bowie Ref: 400372
Supremely functional and solid. This is a great looking knife and is as imposing in the hand as it is on display in your home or office. The West never did anything small and the hardboiled frontiersman knew what worked. High carbon steel, brass and solid wood could be a cowboy's best friend when put together like this. A piece no collector should be without. 15 1/2" overall. Blade 10" long. Wt. 1 lb.
Price: $85.00

D-Guard Bowie Ref: 400928
Popular in the Confederacy during the Civil War for its all-purpose capabilities, the D-Guard bowie chopped branches, split logs, sliced saplings and even had its way with a Yankee or two. Reenactors use it to dig cannon emplacements! The steel guard can withstand punishment and the massive, high carbon steel blade holds an edge well. A soldier on the move soon learns to travel light (ours is 1 lb. 5 oz.), so a handmade bowie was often treasured as a backup weapon when the entire cavalry were "under the guns." Grip is contoured wood with light stain. 23" overall. 18" blade, 1 5/8" wide, 3/16" thick.
Price: $85.00
