The knife is named after James Bowie, a famous hero who was killed in battle with the Mexicans during the defense of Fort Alamo. The classic "Bowie" is a fixed blade knife that has a straight blade with a curved (concave) tip and a massive crossbar separating the blade from the handle. The Wild West Bowie is a replica of a Wild West bowie knife. It is a faithful copy of the legendary James Bowie knife, identical in both size and form. The blade is made of 1090 carbon steel. High carbon steel (carbon content around 0.90%) is the best choice for long fixed blades, but it finds many other uses as well. It sharpens well and holds its edge for a long time, while also retaining high stiffness. The rosewood handle has a classic profile and is fitted with an "S" shaped brass guard to protect the fingers and increase the defensive potential. The Wild West Bowie is sold with a traditional black leather sheath.
