Styled like the iconic big blades featured in Western TV shows and movies, the Cold Steel Wild West Bowie is a noteworthy American classic. The blade is made from 1090 Carbon Steel. It is a long wide blade with weight forward balance and is saber ground and fortified with a false edge to assure maximum cutting, chopping, and piercing power. The handle has a classic profile, featuring Rosewood scales attached to the full tang with brass screws, and it has the characteristic "S" patterned brass handguard to protect your fingers and enhance its defensive potential. The Wild West Bowie is kitted with a traditional black leather sheath that features a brass swivel belt loop and leather leg strap.
