Those knives were big by modern standards, often with blades of 9 inches or more, because one knife had to handle butchering, camp work, and self-defense. Many period Bowies used a coffin-shaped handle, wider at the middle and tapering at both ends, which locks into the palm during hard cuts. The Undertaker takes its name from that handle shape and pairs it with a broad, sharply pointed clip blade that stays true to the original pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade, Handle \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e1075HC is a high carbon steel known for toughness and easy field sharpening, which makes it a natural fit for a big blade that will see impact. The blade is roughly 3\/16\" thick, giving it the weight to chop while the long belly handles slicing and skinning. Condor hand finishes the edge before it leaves the factory. The satin finish shows off the steel but offers no coating, so wipe the blade dry and keep a light coat of oil on it, especially after cutting meat or working in wet weather. The walnut scales are mounted on the tang with a stainless guard for hand protection and a lanyard hole at the butt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAround Camp \u0026amp; the Hunting Cabin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Bowie this size earns its keep where one blade has to do several jobs. In field tests, outdoor YouTubers used the Undertaker to chop through a small tree and to carve the socket in a bow drill hearth board, showing it can work both heavy and fine. Hunters use a 10\" blade for camp butchery, splitting a pelvis, quartering, and cutting through joints that slow down a small skinner. It also serves well as a cabin or truck knife for clearing limbs and splitting kindling. At around $100 with a leather sheath, it costs far less than a custom or premium production Bowie of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Condor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67109869486321,"sku":"67109869486321","price":110.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/UndertakerBowie.jpg?v=1790957825","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/condor-undertaker-bowie-knife","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
