COLD STEEL 16ABSJ NATCHEZ BOWIE - Our Natchez Bowie was born “Under-The-Hill” and takes its pedigree from those seedy taverns and dimly lit streets. Line-bred for battle, it’s the definitive fighting Bowie. Its long blade is perfectly shaped for strength, reach and leverage, and its significant heft is flawlessly balanced, giving it unparalleled liveliness and velocity. Combine all that with its wickedly razor sharp edge and you have a knife that pierces like a dagger, cuts like a razor and chops like a cleaver!
Pin It

“Under-The Hill” was the notoriously rowdy riverfront district of Natchez, Mississippi at the beginning of the nineteenth century. So disreputable, it was seldom mentioned in the polite drawing rooms of the antebellum mansions that dotted the other side of town during the era when cotton was king.

Our Natchez Bowie was born “Under-The-Hill” and takes its pedigree from those seedy taverns and dimly lit streets. Line-bred for battle, it’s the definitive fighting Bowie. Its long blade is perfectly shaped for strength, reach and leverage, and its significant heft is flawlessly balanced, giving it unparalleled liveliness and velocity. Combine all that with its wickedly razor sharp edge and you have a knife that pierces like a dagger, cuts like a razor and chops like a cleaver!

The very best in materials and workmanship is what makes performance like this possible. The blade is made of vacuum heat-treated VG-1 San Mai III® laminated stainless steel. It’s costly and difficult to fashion, but the resulting blade it yields is virtually indestructible. The handle also plays a big role in the overall performance. It has a double quillion guard, bolster, and pommel made of highly polished 300 series stainless steel and a gorgeous black linen Micarta handle. It will easily accommodate a wide variety of gripping methods while serving as a very formidable impact weapon as well.

To compliment the Natchez Bowie and to further cement its position as the quintessential fighting Bowie, it comes with a traditional black leather scabbard. Made of the finest leather, it’s beautifully stitched and reinforced with nickel-silver rivets. It also features a thick nickle-silver belt peg so you can slip it in your waistband or under your belt without fear of losing it.

San Mai Natchez 07/28/2015
By Dennis
There are very few tools that you own that truly represent quality; the San Mai Natchez Bowie is one that is truly well thought out. I won't kid you it packs some heft however that heft is well distributed through its geometry with a blade that is designed to flow into a powerful snap cut as well as the back cut without much effort. While I truly appreciate a good Carbon steel blade, San Mai has proven itself (within reason), to be durable and resist most media without chipping or cracking, this is not an outdoors blade and i would not recommend this for that purpose, Cold steel makes blades specifically for those purposes. The handle of the san Mai is very similar to those found on their SK-5 as well as O-1 steel and is further reinforced by using a Steel Rod running through its core instead of the cable tang; "Hey I highly recommend", however these I believe have been discontinued so if you can find one on the secondary market it is advisable to grab one before their gone. peace
