This knife replicates an existing original, made in the French Quarter of New Orleans by a cutler named Pradel. The knife is relatively compact and could well have been commissioned by a client with easy concealment in mind. The checkered buffalo horn grip and clean lines give this piece an outstanding appearance.
Hanwei replica bowies are crafted with a forged high-carbon steel blade, nickel silver fittings and natural grip materials, as were the originals. Each sheath is crafted in top-grain leather and a belt frog, where applicable, is included. Every effort has been made to replicate accurately the details of the original pieces, so as to provide heirloom-quality Bowies to the collector.
