10.5" German D2 Bowie Blade – Big, Tough & Purpose-Built
At the heart of the Leatherneck Bowie CSFXLTHRNK is its wide, long Bowie-style blade:
Blade length: 10.5" (10 ½")
Steel: German D2 tool steel, known for excellent edge retention and toughness in hard-use knives.
Blade thickness: approx. 5 mm / 0.196–0.20", giving serious backbone for chopping and heavy cutting.
Finish: Non-reflective black powder coat that helps resist corrosion and cuts down on glare in bright conditions.
Edge: Plain edge with a classic Bowie / clip-point profile for controlled slicing, tip work, and utility tasks.
A distinctive fuller (blood groove) runs along much of the blade, helping reduce weight without sacrificing strength and giving the knife its instantly recognizable Leatherneck look.
This combination of length, thickness, and D2 steel makes the Leatherneck Bowie well-suited for camp chores, wood processing, brush clearing, food prep in camp, and general outdoor utility.
Kray-Ex Handle with Curved Quillons – Secure, Confident Grip
Cold Steel outfits the Leatherneck with a 4.75" black Kray-Ex handle that’s designed to lock into your hand:
Material: Kray-Ex™ – a durable, rubber-like synthetic that offers a sure, non-slip grip, even in wet or sweaty conditions.
Shape: Based on the standard Leatherneck pattern but enhanced with a longer guard and forward-curving quillons for better hand protection and control during heavier cuts.
Checkered / grooved texture along the handle adds extra traction without feeling overly abrasive.
Steel guard and pommel further reinforce the handle construction and give the knife a solid, balanced feel in hand.
The result is a handle that feels secure and confidence-inspiring in a variety of grips—great for controlled carving, heavy push cuts, and power strokes when you’re working around camp or on the property.
Full-Size Fixed Blade with Secure-Ex™ Sheath
This is a full-size fixed blade built to be carried and used, not just displayed:
Overall length: approx. 15"–15.25"
Weight: about 17 oz (just over 1 lb), striking a balance between chopping power and manageable carry weight.
Tang: Full-tang construction for strength and durability under hard use.
Every Leatherneck Bowie comes with a Secure-Ex™ sheath:
Rugged polymer design with snap-fit retention to hold the blade firmly in place.
Belt-carry capability so you can keep the knife ready at camp, on the trail, or around the property.
The sheath setup makes this big fixed blade practical to carry on a belt or lash to a pack, so it’s always handy when you need it.
Built for Outdoor Work, Camp & Heavy-Duty Tasks
While the Leatherneck Bowie has serious visual presence, it’s very much a working tool:
Excellent for batoning and splitting smaller logs, trimming branches, and light brush clearing.
Long, sharp blade handles food prep, meat processing, and general camp kitchen duties when you don’t want to bring multiple knives.
Durable D2 edge holds up well for repeated cutting of rope, webbing, cardboard, and common utility materials in outdoor or ranch environments.
Collectors will also appreciate that this model is part of the Cold Steel Leatherneck series, pairing a classic Bowie silhouette with the brand’s signature overbuilt construction and modern tool steel.
