Old West Bowie Bloodwood Edition – Large fixed blade knife with 35.56cm bowie blade

This bowie knife features a substantial 35.56cm blade in classic bowie profile, constructed from 3Cr13 stainless steel. The full-tang design weighs 901g and measures 52.07cm overall length, making it a heavy-duty outdoor tool suited for chopping and processing tasks.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 3Cr13 stainless steel with a polished finish and plain edge configuration. The handle features bloodwood construction with a concealed guard design. The chrome accents complement the polished blade finish. Weight distribution favours the blade, enhancing chopping efficiency.

Application and use

Designed for outdoor and bushcraft applications, this knife excels at wood processing, shelter building, and camp tasks. The forward-weighted design and substantial blade length make it effective for batoning and chopping. Less suitable for fine carving or EDC due to its size and 901g weight.

Integration and compatibility

Supplied with a leather sheath for secure transport and storage. The full-tang construction allows for heavy-duty use without handle failure concerns. The bowie blade geometry provides both cutting edge and reinforced spine for batoning applications.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 3Cr13 steel requires regular maintenance to prevent corrosion. Clean and dry after use, applying light oil to the polished blade surface. The leather sheath should be kept dry and conditioned periodically to maintain protective qualities.
