13″ Large Fighting D-Guard Bowie – Kukri Blade Machete

13″ Large Fighting D-Guard Bowie, Outdoor Khukuri Knife, Blade Machete – Handmade in Nepal, Popular in the Confederacy during the Civil War for its all-purpose capabilities, the D-Guard Bowie chopped branches, split logs, sliced saplings and even had its way with a Yankee or two. A soldier on the move learned to travel light, so a handmade Bowie was often treasured as a backup weapon when the entire cavalry was “under the guns.” The steel guard on our D Guard Bowie can withstand punishment and the massive, high-carbon steel blade holds an edge well. Re-enactors use it to dig cannon emplacements! The grip is contoured wood with a light stain. Includes leather sheath with metal furniture. The steel guard can take punishment and can also dish it out, if necessary, as a punching/deflecting weapon. The quillions upper guard is ideal for catching the incoming blade or other weapon of an opponent, and the thick, full-tang, Carbon steel construction of the whole knife is strong beyond belief. It represents a melding of the Southern USA’s Bowie knife and the time-honored knife-making expertise of the Gorkhas of Nepal. * Specification of 13 Inch Blade Bowie Kukri Knife: This is a handcrafted kukri therefore please note that each one might have slight variations in measurement.
