Named for Merrill's Marauders, the famous deep-penetration unit who fought in the jungles of South East Asia in World War II, Cold Steel's rugged Marauder Bowie knife is as versatile as it is intimidating. The broad nine inch Japanese stainless steel blade features a curved cutting edge, a Bowie tip and deep bevels, making it suited for a range of tasks--from chopping, slicing and piercing. The double quillion Kray-Ex™ handle provides optimal comfort and a great hold. The bold texture allows total retention and control even with wet or gloved hands. Thoroughly field-tested, the Marauder handles camp chores with ease, serves as a useful hunting knife and is a formidable self-defense tool. The knife includes a tough Secure-Ex® sheath, which protects the blade from the elements and can be fastened securely to a belt or pack for hands-free carry.

Avi Nardia - Martial Arts Instructor
When I began teaching combat unfortunately I noticed that many teach the use of the knife in the wrong way. The knife is one of the most important tools for the man and his daily use is connected to my personal story, to my way of life, the principles learned from the teachings of my father and all the experience acquired as a teacher. So I decided to design this knife especially for my students, who have to learn that when they are alone in the woods must be able, with a single tool, to build their shelter, finding food and water, build a fire to know and meet all requirements needed to survive. My idea is with the knife KAPAP can survive and save lives in any place and at any time.
