Bowie Knife D-guar Saber CIVIL War Secession Confederate Army Carbon Forged
Confederate D-Guard Bowie Saber - Hand-Forged Frontier Knife. This is a faithful tribute to the large fighting knives carried by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War.
Forged by hand from 5160 high-carbon spring steel, this D-Guard Bowie features a full tang construction encapsulated by a naturally textured deer antler handle. The robust D-guard is forged in one piece for superior hand protection and historical authenticity. Razor sharp and battle-ready, this blade blends rugged functionality with Old West charm. Overall length: 15.5 in (40 cm). Blade length: 10,5 in (27 cm). Blade width: up to 1.6 in (40 mm). Blade thickness: up to 0.2 in (5 mm).Sheath: hand-stitched leather, aged finish. Each knife is unique and made in the spirit of the 19th-century American frontier. Ideal for collectors of Confederate, Bowie, or Old West memorabilia. Gaucho knife is not a company. My theme is the gaucho & cowboy's cutlery: rustic, strong and durable knives, ready for heavy use and 100% unique and exclusive.
Caring for Your Carbon Steel Knife. After using your knife take the time to wipe off the blade with a rag or cloth. This very simple step will stop most rust from forming. Its also important to note that finger prints can cause carbon steel to rust.Every so often put a coat of your favorite oil on the knife. It is especially important that if you use your knife in food prep that you use a food safe oil like mineral oil. Lastly, over time you may notice your blade changing color. This is a natural process during which the steel gains a patina from normal use and age.
A patina not only adds character to your knife but helps protect your carbon steel from rust which might cause pits. Many people find a satisfaction in watching how their patina develops over time while others "force" a patina in order to gain a more uniform coloration.Of course for those that like to keep their knife looking new a patina can be easily polished off.
