KA-BAR Bowie is a legendary hunting knife since the early 20th century. Thanks to the elegant look and practical features, it is a great gift for every bushcrafter.
"Vinnetou hung his rifle on the saddle, got off his horse and pulled out his bow-knife," as written in the famous novel by Karel May. Now you can have a similar knife too.
KA-BAR 1236 Bowie is a classic shape hunting knife. The solid 4116 stainless steel blade shines like a mirror. The anatomically shaped handle with brass parts is enhanced with leather rings for a comfortable grip. Not missing the finger guard and a metal butt cap.
It comes with a brown cowhide leather that has KA-BAR logo. This allows for comfortable belt carrying.
Legendary knives usually have a quality that surpasses other products. This also applies to KA-BAR knives. The company, founded in New York in 1897, originally produced mainly cutlery. A little later, they started producing hunting knives, which were still sold under the Union brand. At that time, a story began to float around the people about a trapper who killed a bear only with the brand's knife. And so the term Ka-bar was born, which is a corruption of the English "kill a bear".
