Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie Machete (12.0 Inch 1055 Carbon Steel Blade) Polypropylene Handle + Cor-Ex Sheath 97SMBWZ

Available while supplies last! We still have a limited quantity of these rare vintage Cold Steel Black Bear Bowies which are made in South Africa with SAE 1055 Carbon Steel Blades. The new Black Bear Bowies are currently manufactured in China using inferior Chinese steel. All of these South African made Black Bear Bowie knives are Brand New in pristine condition. When we sell out this page will be removed.

Continuing their ground breaking tradition for creating unusual and eye-catching “tactical machetes”, the Cold Steel R&D team devised a bold new blade for 2017 -- the Black Bear Bowie! It’s extra wide, 13 inch long blade is black-powder coated with a matte-black corrosion resistant finish and then sharpened right at the Cold Steel HQ. The Black Bear Bowie’s generous full tang and solid steel guard are completely injection over-molded with fine-textured high-impact Polypropylene, creating a very comfortable but tough, weatherproof grip. Supplied with a sturdy Cor-Ex sheath for ease of carry and convenience of use in the field, the Black Bear Bowie is fast and lively in the hand, and wide enough to chop through small vines and saplings, clear brush and perform admirably in many survival or bushcraft duties. If you are looking for a truly epic bowie knife, but at an affordable price, then you will be hard pressed to find something better than the new Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie!
