“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. Cold Steel 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.
