Cold Steel Laredo Bowie CPM-3V Black Micarta Fixed Blade 16DL

Cold Steel is bringing the classic Laredo Bowie into a higher level of performance. This knife has the iconic look of the clip point hunting knife known as a Bowie knife with a timeless coffin shaped handle and brass dual guard. While the Laredo retains the style of the original this knife get modern material upgrades: ultra tough CPM-3V high carbon alloy steel for the blade and black Micarta composite for the handle.

Brand new, direct from Cold Steel.

Blade: Made from 5/16-inch thick, CPM-3V, the blade of the Laredo Bowie is a classic design and a functional powerhouse. The sweeping cutting edge and powerful clip point allow this flat ground blade to pierce, slice, chop and slash through anything in your path. The thick spine adds weight for heavy chopping and added durability. CPM-3V delivers an exceptionally tough blade capable of heavy use with good edge retention sacrificing corrosion resistance.

Handle: A hidden tang construction on the coffin shaped handle balances strength with comfort and is made from durable black Micarta composite for optimal durability and resistance to the elements. The handle is comfortable in a variety of grips and balanced for speed and control in the hand. A large, brass double guard tops the handle and keeps fingers safe from the razor sharp edge.

Sheath: Carries via a molded polymer sheath with modular nylon belt loop.

CPM-3V: is a high carbon alloy steel that extremely tough and has enough chromium to have some corrosion resistance. However, care is required to prevent corrosion. The edge can be ground thin as it is tough enough to support a fine edge. 3V delivers the highest level of toughness while maintaining good edge retention.
