From its imposing blade to its beautiful rosewood handle, every inch of the Cold Steel Frontier Bowie screams perfection. Thanks to its cutting and thrusting performance, the 1917 Frontier Bowie is just like a sword. The handguard is S-shaped and provides excellent protection. A brute of a knife. It was already a great knife in 1917. Today, it remains one of the best knives for surviving in a war situation. Currently, given the situation in the world, that is a reassuring thought. Incidentally, it is also a very beautiful showpiece. Thanks Borras for the service and good price.
