The Cold Steel Bowie Machete offers a unique blend of a large camp knife and a short machete, making it exceptionally adaptable for various outdoor tasks. It features the distinctive clip-point Bowie blade, which provides excellent piercing ability alongside its substantial chopping power. This machete is an economical yet highly effective solution for wilderness survival, camping, hunting, and general land clearing.

Key Features:

  • Blade Material: Constructed from durable 1055 High Carbon Steel. Some newer variants may feature 65Mn steel, both known for their toughness and ability to maintain a sharp edge.
  • Blade Finish: Equipped with a tough, baked-on matte black anti-rust coating, enhancing its corrosion resistance and reducing glare in outdoor conditions.
  • Blade Design: Features a prominent clip-point Bowie style blade, which is both an outstanding slashing tool and an admirable chopper. The full tang construction ensures maximum strength and reliability during rigorous use.
  • Handle: The handle is made from durable, textured polypropylene, providing a secure and comfortable grip that minimizes hand fatigue. It often includes a lanyard hole for added security.
  • Sheath: Comes with a sturdy black Cor-Ex sheath for safe and convenient carrying, typically featuring a belt loop.
  • Dimensions:
    • Blade Length: Approximately 12 inches (around 30.5 cm)
    • Overall Length: Approximately 17 5/8 inches (around 44.8 cm)
    • Blade Thickness: Around 0.11 inches (2.8 mm)
  • Weight: Weighs approximately 14.3 to 16.2 ounces (around 405 to 460 grams), contributing to its lively feel and maneuverability.
  • Performance: Supplied fully sharpened, it is effective for a range of tasks from clearing brush and cutting smaller wood to performing knife-like tasks when a more agile blade is needed.
  • Country of Origin: Often manufactured in South Africa or Taiwan.

Important Considerations: The Bowie Machete is an excellent hybrid tool. Its design allows it to handle tasks that might be too delicate for a heavier machete while still offering significant chopping power. As with all blades, proper maintenance and occasional sharpening will extend its lifespan and performance.
