CobraTec Pocket Bowie Fixed Blade Knife, Brown Mikarta

Most of the cutting you do at camp or on the drive home is small work: a stubborn zip tie, a strip of cord, a quick bit of meal prep. The CobraTec Pocket Bowie knife is a compact fixed blade built for that kind of everyday job, with the look of a traditional Bowie in a size you can carry all day.

The blade is a 3.25 inch clip point with a false swedge, a profile that gives you a fine tip for detail work while keeping the classic Bowie lines. It is made from VG10 stainless steel, chosen for a balance of durability, edge retention and corrosion resistance.

The handle measures 3.25 inches and is shaped for a three-finger grip, so you keep control even though the knife has a small footprint. This version wears a brown Mikarta handle.

Overall length is 6.5 inches and the knife weighs 3.5 ounces, light enough that you stop noticing it on your belt or in a pack. A leather sheath comes with it for carry. If you want a fixed blade knife that stays discreet but still feels like a real Bowie in your hand, the CobraTec Pocket Bowie fixed blade is worth a look.
