Colter Bowie – 16" Full-Tang D2 Steel Bowie Knife with Micarta Handle & Satin Finish

The Colter Bowie pays tribute to John Colter, one of America’s earliest mountain men and wilderness explorers. Rugged, fearless, and built for the frontier, this knife embodies that same spirit with a long, powerful blade and a clean, modern construction worthy of Colter’s name.

With an impressive 16-inch overall length, the Colter Bowie is forged for serious work — chopping, clearing, field use, and any situation where reach, leverage, and cutting authority matter. Its 10.5-inch D2 steel blade features a sleek satin finish that highlights the steel’s hardness and durability while keeping maintenance simple. The spine thickness of 5.6 mm gives the blade remarkable strength and forward weight, helping it bite deep when needed without feeling sluggish in the hand.

The full-tang construction ensures structural integrity from tip to pommel, giving the knife stability you can trust in demanding environments. Paired with a 5.5-inch micarta handle, the grip offers a confident, secure feel even in wet conditions. The handle’s straight-profile geometry and lightly textured surface give you a predictable, no-nonsense hold—perfect for heavy chopping, controlled slicing, and extended use around camp.

Weighing 583 grams (1.28 lb), the Colter Bowie carries real presence, yet remains balanced enough to maneuver with precision. For transport and protection, it comes with a rugged black sheath crafted to match the knife’s modern tactical style.

Bold, durable, and unapologetically functional — the Colter Bowie is a blade built for explorers, hunters, and anyone who appreciates a large-format Bowie with purpose behind every inch of steel.
