Ka-Bar 1236 Bowie Leather Handle Fixed DIN 1.4116 Clip Point Blade Leather

The KA-BAR Knives INC 1236 Leather Handled Bowie is a nod to classic design, making it a standout since the early 1900s. With its leather handle, it exudes elegance enough for gift giving, yet practical enough for field use. It comes with a brown leather KA-BAR sheath for safekeeping.

The clip blade is of a traditional and very functional design. It is named for its distinct shape - the appearance of a portion of the spine being clipped off. This design lowers the blade point for increased control and a sharper tip, making it an ideal tool for tasks requiring precision. It provides a generous "belly" in the blade for efficient slicing or skinning and a pointed tip perfect for inserting under objects that need cutting. Notably, a false edge is often found with the clip point design.

Being a fixed blade, the Bowie is made of a solid piece of steel that is firmly anchored to the handle without any folding mechanisms. Its durable construction ensures it withstands harsh elements with ease. Composed of a group of corrosion resisting steels, it contains a minimum of 10% chromium and varying amounts of nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, among other elements, for superior strength and durability.
