Crocodile Dundee's famous words "now that's a knife" definitely apply to this awesome Bowie knife. With a massive 10.5" 1085 stainless blade, this blade will do the trick in any scenario! Hunting a boar? No problem. Croc? Perfect. The 5.5" white bone handle gives ample hand space when wearing gloves, and is accented by brass bolster and pommel for protection on both ends of the handle. Comes complete with a custom leather sheath with belt loop.
As with all carbon steel knives, care should be taken to reduce corrosion by keeping the blade dried immediately after use and keeping out of prolonged wet environments. A light coat of vegetable oil / knife oil also goes a long way!

KNIFE CARE: 1085 steel has a high carbon content and can be prone to rust when exposure to moisture or acidic residue is left un-tended. Immediately after use, wipe down the blade and thoroughly dry (wash with warm water if necessary, but do not use soapy / dishwater), and apply a coat of vegetable oil, coconut oil, or any lubricated oil/vaseline. Store or display in a dry space. Note that for long term storage, the custom leather sheath should not be used. Use the sheath as you carry or transport the knife, but do not leave in the sheath for extended periods of time. Should rust develop, use lemon juice or a potato to break up the rust, wipe free, and re-coat with oil.
SHARPENING: 1085 steel requires no special techniques for sharpening. As with all quality knives, the best way to sharpen is by using a quality whetstone.
