RazorBack with leather sheath – Heavy-duty bowie knife for outdoor applications

The RazorBack from Down Under Knives is a substantial bowie knife designed for outdoor and survival use. Featuring 440C stainless steel construction with an 18cm drop-point blade and leather handle, this knife weighs 465g and measures 30.7cm in total length.

Construction and materials

The blade utilises 440C stainless steel with a plain edge configuration and 5.5mm spine thickness for heavy-duty tasks. The ergonomic leather handle provides secure grip during extended use. The knife includes a matching leather sheath for protected storage and transport.

Application and use

This bowie knife suits outdoor enthusiasts requiring a robust cutting tool for bushcraft, camping, and survival scenarios. The blade effectively processes wood, rope, and food preparation tasks. Due to its weight and dimensions, it functions better as a dedicated outdoor tool rather than everyday carry.

Integration and compatibility

The included leather sheath accommodates the full blade length for safe transport. The traditional bowie design integrates standard outdoor gear setups without requiring specific mounting systems or adapters.

Maintenance and lifecycle

The 440C steel offers corrosion resistance but benefits from regular cleaning and light oiling. The leather handle requires periodic treatment with leather conditioner to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
