TOPWB01: PWB-01 Prather War Bowie

Spyderco

The War Bowie's classic sweep and forward balance point naturally facilitate cutting and chopping.

The Prather War Bowie's blade is a massive 7 inches long and a nearly unbreakable 0.25 inch thick. The blade is purposely wider than others to create a more devastating wound channel. The overall length is 12.625 inches, allowing a generous grip that accommodates large or gloved hands. And whether the operator's hands are bloody or frozen, TOPS Knives' famous Rocky Mountain Tread handle scales offer the ideal combat hold.

The War Bowie's classic sweep and forward balance point naturally facilitate cutting and chopping. The unique dropped blade forms an integral safety guard that makes it impossible for the operator's fingers to accidentally slide forward and be cut while stabbing with forward or reverse grips.

Thumb grooves on the spine add extra control for fine cuts. A sharpening groove at the base of the edge eases sharpening in the field. The Prather War Bowie's false edge delivers superior penetration when thrusting. The War Bowie comes with a black nylon tactical sheath, that has a front pocket and MOLLE webbing on the back.

The War Bowie was designed by former 7th Special Forces, DEA Special Agent, DIA Intelligence Officer, and Bujinkan martial arts master Jeff Prather. Jeff also founded Warriorschool, a tactical training academy that specializes in preparing discreet government agencies and specialized military units for hostile overseas environments.

The War Bowie is Jeff's ideal blade design based on his twenty five years of real world experience both here and abroad. The Prather War Bowie - by warriors... for warriors!

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Overall Quality, Materials, Handle Material, Weight
Cons: Sheath/Scabbard
Amazing
I’ve had this blade for a couple of months now and am extremely impressed. Excellent quality fit and finish, comfortable handle. The tip on this knife is truly frightening. Definitely the most visually intimidating knife I’ve ever come across. Having a custom kydex sheath made right now because the one it came with had a broken plastic insert and the tip pierced right through the nylon. If that insert wasn’t broken the sheath is really nice and preferable in the woods to a kydex. It was so spendy, I waited a few years to bite the bullet. If u can find one, don’t wait. It’s the best knife you will ever own.

The Bowie, Refined
If Jim Bowie were alive today, and he were a headin' to the sandbar, this is the knife he would carry along. This is the knife I would carry, if I knew I was going into harm's way. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>The long primary grind is similar to the grind on cutting competition knives, and promotes good slicing/cutting mechanics. Slight weight forward balance helps put the proper snap at the end of a slashing thrust. Rocky Mountain Micarta slabs are comfortable and secure. Add a retention lanyard for added security. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sheath is quiet and secure. Add a pocket stone, a Zancudo folder, ferro fire striker, and small bottle of oil to the pouch on the sheath (all available at KnifeCenter.com), and you are in serious survival mode. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>This is a Bowie for rough men who stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us, so we can sleep safely at night.
