## Description

COLD STEEL MARAUDER SUB-HILT FIXED BLADE KNIFE: Honoring the name of Merrill's Marauders - also known as Code name "Galahad", the United States renowned assault unit within the South East Asian Theater of conflict - our Marauder Bowie is rugged, relentless and reliable. It features an extra broad, razor-sharp blade, with a continuously curved edge, deep wide blade bevels, and a formidable clip point. The Kray-Ex handle provides superior durability and non-slip grip. This handle material ensures the knife remains securely in hand, even in wet or adverse conditions. The sub-hilt practically eliminates the possibility of the hand being dislodged or coming into contact with the blade. Plus, the sub-hilt facilitates rapid and effortless withdrawal after insertion. Suitable for many military, survival, and hunting scenarios, the Marauder is equipped with a versatile Secure-Ex sheath allowing the knife to be fastened comfortably and securely on a belt or pack, or LBV. FEATURES: - Japanese AUS8A steel clip point blade; - Available in plain and serrated edge versions; - Kray-Ex handle; - Secure-Ex Sheath. SPECS: Weight: 12.4 oz (351.5 g); Blade Thickness: 4.7 mm; Blade Length: 9"; Handle Length: 5 1/8"; Overall Length: 14 1/8".

Review: Great value for large Bowie-style blade - Love the blade and handle except for the sub-hilt. Grippy and comfortable, well balanced. Blade was sharpish so I touched it up and now it's a serious cutter. Same blade shape as folding Espada XL, just longer blade. Interesting that it's the same length in the hand as the XL from standard grip position (hand is behind the pivot on Espada). Sub-hilt was so annoying I cut it off. Whether that is because there was not enough space for the forefinger or I just don't like them, I don't know. This is now my go-to Bowie-style work knife.
Review: A BUDGET FRIENDLY BEAST! - A great quality full tang Bowie knife for the asking price. This Knife is a Beast. 👍 THE BLADE The 9in long 4.7mm thick blade came razor sharp with a good grind on it. The AUS8A Steel is not a Super steel, however It's a great working steel that's easy to touch up and will take a beating without being prone to chipping. Plus Cold Steel does an exceptional job on the heat treatment of their blades and this knife is no exception. THE HANDLE In my opinion the ergonomics are fantastic! The handle is kraton (rubber) and has very aggressive texturing. The sub hilt (which is also rubber)is very comfortable and absolutely locks in your grip on the knife. All in all, a very versatile tool that can be used in a multitude of ways whether that be as a camp/woods knife, work knife, or a self defense tool. Another Great product by Cold Steel 👍👍👍

**Q: is this knife in the serrated edge available?**
A: Unfortunately, it's out of stock.
