Spartan with Display | 65th Anniversary Edition | Gil Hibben – Commemorative Bowie knife with display stand

This commemorative Bowie knife features a substantial 38.4cm blade length and 52.5cm total length. Crafted from 5Cr15 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the knife weighs 773g and includes a wooden display stand for collectors.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 5Cr15 stainless steel, offering reasonable corrosion resistance and edge retention. The Bowie blade profile features a plain-edge cutting surface with a mirror-polished finish in chrome. The handle is constructed from Pakkawood, providing durability and moisture resistance.

Application and use

Designed primarily as a commemorative piece for collectors and display purposes. The substantial weight and dimensions make it suitable for light cutting tasks and rope cutting, though its primary function remains decorative. The included display stand reinforces its intended use as a showcase item.

Integration and compatibility

This fixed-blade design requires no locking mechanism or folding components. The wooden display stand accommodates the knife's specific dimensions for secure presentation. No sheath specifications are provided with this commemorative edition.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 5Cr15 steel requires regular maintenance despite its stainless properties. The mirror-polished finish shows fingerprints readily and needs frequent cleaning with soft cloth. Periodic oiling prevents corrosion and maintains the blade's presentation quality.
