The Svord Limited Edition Half-Horse, Half-Alligator Coffin Bowie fixed is a distinctive fixed-blade model created to honor the legendary American Bowie knives of the mid-19th century. This knife is defined by its ornate "coffin-shaped" cast bronze pommel, which features the famous Half-Horse, Half-Alligator motif; a symbol representing the rugged, untamed spirit of the American frontiersman. Handcrafted in New Zealand by Master Cutler Bryan Baker, this knife blends a historically significant design with Svord's commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Each of these knives is meticulously constructed with a wide, robust clip point bowie blade made from premium Swedish high carbon steel. This specific steel is highly valued by enthusiasts and outdoorsmen for its excellent resistance to chipping and the ease with which it can be re-sharpened. The steel is individually hardened and tempered using Svord’s proprietary process to ensure maximum strength and durability. The combination of the sturdy construction and the impressive blade profile makes this knife a highly capable tool.
The Svord Half-Horse, Half-Alligator Bowie is a notable piece for both collectors and users. The knife’s faithfulness to historical detail, coupled it's limited availability (only 15 pieces made), makes it a wonderful choice for collectors. It stands as a functional piece of history that delivers exceptional build quality.
Svord would like to acknowledge Jon Blumenfeld of H.L Dalis, one of their distributors, for the concept and general input regarding the development of this knife.
