A piece of beautiful beast. In terms of usability, with this size it's hard to expect a lot of practicality beyond chopping or batoning, but the fun of holding it in your hand is priceless. I recommend it.

Cold Steel Leatherneck Bowie Fixed Blade Knife D2
Modeled after the iconic US Marines combat knife, originally manufactured by companies such as Ka-Bar. Features a fixed blade with Full Tang construction, making it ideal for tactical and survival scenarios. The Bowie-style blade is crafted from D2 tool steel and finished with a black powder coating. The handle, constructed from Kray-Ex, ensures a firm and comfortable grip. Included is a sheath utilizing the Secure-Ex system with a belt loop, providing convenient and secure carry options.
The designation Leatherneck is derived from a colloquial term for American Marines, referencing the distinctive high leather collars worn by soldiers since 1776.
D2 tool steel
Manufactured from D2 tool steel, the blade offers exceptional wear resistance and maintains a sharp edge over time. Undergoing specialized heat treatment, the blade attains a hardness of 57-62 HRC, providing lasting durability and reliable cutting performance during demanding tasks.
Bowie profile blade, Black Powder coating
Featuring a Bowie style, the blade measures 267 mm in length and 5 mm in thickness. A flat partial grind and smooth cutting edge are present, complemented by a fuller along the spine. The fuller minimizes overall weight while preserving the knife's structural integrity and enhances stiffness across the blade. The profile delivers outstanding cutting precision and dependable performance in survival scenarios. A durable Black Powder coating shields the blade from scratches, provides corrosion resistance, and prevents unwanted glare.
Full Tang construction, ergonomic Kray-Ex grip
Featuring a Full Tang design, the knife’s steel tang extends the full length of the handle, delivering maximum strength and reliability. A grip crafted from the synthetic polymer Kray-Ex is secured to the tang. The handle’s ergonomic profile and non-slip surface ensure superior control, even with wet or soiled hands. A steel cross guard shields the hand from sliding onto the blade, while a steel pommel positioned at the base of the handle can be utilized as an additional field tool.
Secure-Ex system sheath
The knife comes equipped with a sheath constructed in the Secure-Ex system, utilizing materials that are both lightweight and exceptionally resilient against harsh weather conditions. Secure retention is ensured by the fitted opening paired with a snap-fastened loop, which reliably prevents unintended dislodging of the knife. The loop supports belt attachment, while multiple holes and grommets offer versatile mounting positions for compatibility with belts or other gear.

Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
D2
D2 is a high-carbon tool steel classified as semi-stainless, characterized by high wear resistance and the ability to maintain a thin, durable edge. It achieves a hardness of 57-62 HRC, which ensures long-lasting sharpness even with intensive use. Its chemical composition is a precisely selected combination of elements: carbon (1.4-1.6%), chromium (11-13%), molybdenum (up to 0.8%), vanadium (up to 1%), manganese (up to 1%), and silicon (up to 1%). The high carbon and chromium content ensures hardness and wear resistance, while molybdenum and vanadium improve the strength and durability of the cutting edge. Although D2 steel is not completely stainless, its corrosion resistance is sufficient to meet the requirements of most conditions of use. It is widely used in the production of mid-range and high-end knives, including handmade knives and cutting tools.
Powder
Powder coating is a modern finish that creates a hard and durable protective layer on metal elements, including knife blades. The process involves electrostatically applying dry powder to the surface and curing it in an oven, resulting in a thicker and more uniform coating than traditional paints. Powder Coat does not contain solvents and is more environmentally friendly, prevents the coating from running during application, and provides high resistance to corrosion, scratches, impacts, chemicals, and UV radiation. The coating is available in a wide range of colors and textures, from smooth to rough, allowing you to customize the look and functionality of the finish.
