-13" Large Fighting D-Guard Bowie,Outdoor Khukuri Knife, Kukri Blade Machete - Handmade By EGKH Khukuri House Nepal

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 were "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! Grip is contoured wood with 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 quillioned 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 handcrafted kukri therefore please note that each one might have slight variations in measurement.
