Cold Steel 36MK Drop Forged Bowie 9.5" Fixed Blade

Cold Steel Drop Forged Bowie: American Knife Tradition

The Drop Forged Bowie represents a return to fundamental knife-making principles. This is a serious tool, not a decorative piece.

Construction & Materials

Single-piece forged design — The entire blade and tang are forged as one continuous piece of 52100 high carbon steel. This construction method eliminates the weak points found in knives with separate handles and tangs. You get a blade that can handle genuine work.

The faux stag handle slabs provide secure grip and authentic aesthetic appeal. The guard protects your hand during extended use.

Blade Characteristics

• Length: 9.5" blade with 14" overall length
• Edge: Flat ground to a moderately thin profile, then honed to razor sharpness
• Point: Acute and penetrating—designed for deep cuts and precise work
• Balance: Point of balance sits just forward of the guard, creating a lively feel in the hand with only slight blade-heavy characteristics

Practical Features

The Secure-Ex sheath includes a detachable Cordura belt loop for secure carry. This is a fixed blade knife—no moving parts to fail when you need reliability.

The Bottom Line

If you want a Bowie knife that works as hard as you do, this is it. Cold Steel's Drop Forged Bowie delivers the strength and edge retention serious users demand.
