The Marauder Bowie Knife draws its design inspiration from WWII-era combat knives utilized by Merrill’s Marauders, also known as Galahad, an elite American unit operating in the Southeast Asia theater.
Featuring a Bowie profile blade, the knife is made with a flat grind to deliver excellent cutting performance. The blade showcases a refined satin finish. Constructed from Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel, the blade stands out for its toughness and reliable edge retention. The black handle, produced from Kray-Ex material, ensures a secure, non-slip grip. Included is a Secure-Ex sheath, designed for convenient carry on a belt or attached to other gear.
Forged from Japanese AUS-8A steel, the blade stands out for its toughness, as well as excellent resistance to both corrosion and wear. When subjected to hardening, the blade reaches a hardness of 58-60 HRC.
Designed with a robust Bowie profile, the blade measures 229 mm in length and 4.7 mm in thickness. Offering a sweeping cutting edge and a pronounced false blade, exceptional durability enables the Marauder to perform effortless slicing and piercing tasks. The addition of a serrated cutting edge makes it highly effective for severing ropes, nets, cables, and other fibrous substances. Manufactured with a flat grind and completed with a satin finish, the blade boasts a semi-matte surface that is resistant to scratches.
Constructed from Kray-Ex material, the knife handle features aggressive texturing to guarantee a secure grip, even with wet or soiled hands. The double-sided cross guard is designed to keep fingers from sliding onto the blade, while the sub-hilt provides added security by protecting the index finger and enhancing control. A hole at the base of the handle is included for attaching a safety cord or lanyard.
The included sheath, part of the Secure-Ex system, is crafted from a material that is both lightweight and highly resistant to wear and weather conditions. Thanks to a precision-molded inlet and a snap-secured loop, the knife stays firmly in place, minimizing the risk of accidental loss. The loop is designed for convenient belt attachment, while multiple holes and eyelets allow for versatile, multi-positional mounting on a belt or various equipment.
