bowie knives and machetes

What is the best tool for splitting wood? For camping, we think the best tool is the Froe 108 Compadre. The froe is designed for clearing, heavy cutting, splitting and beating. Full tang 5160 spring steel runs the entire length of the froe, which measures 42.5 cm, giving it excellent shock-absorption capacity and increasable strength. The 24.1 cm long cutting edge is perfect for splitting, but also lends itself to detailed work. The Cerakote Cobalt coating offers increased durability and corrosion resistance. The ergonomic handle is made of natural canvas Micarta, which ensures a superior grip even in wet conditions. The Froe includes a genuine black leather sheath, made in the USA, with a stainless steel attachment ring to keep the froe at your side or secure in your backpack. The Froe 108 Compadre is the perfect tool for your camping and general outdoor needs. Made in the USA.

With the Pohl Force MK-8 and MK-9 knives at its side, the legendary Rambo series (1982-2019), which like no other has made the knife the most important part of its equipment on the big screen, comes to an end.

The Pohl Force LAST BLOOD® CNC² Edition MK-8 is a perfectly designed knife in the classic Bowie style that, despite its historical roots, presents itself as a modern, tactical tool in the unmistakable Pohl design.

Only high quality, durable materials are used in its construction: Stainless steel 90Cr18MoV (440C) hardened to 57/58HRC gives the 20cm long, 6mm thick Bowie blade high corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention. The full tang construction culminates in a G-10 handle that finishes with a unique aesthetic element that impresses with its dramatic design.

The black surface with three-dimensional millings on the handle contrasts colourfully with the blade in a two-tone finish. The handle and blade are visually connected by a CNC-milled guard machined from a solid block of stainless steel. It is completed by the ever-present knotted paracord camouflage lanyard that distinguishes all Pohl Force productions and corresponds exactly to the same paracord used in the filming of the movie.

The knife comes with a top-quality leather sheath and is sold with a 3D Velcro patch and a cloth for care and cleaning.

With the Pohl Force MK-8 and MK-9 knives at its side comes the conclusion of the legendary Rambo series (1982-2019), which like no other has made the knife the most important part of its equipment on the big screen.

The Pohl Force LAST BLOOD® CNC² Edition MK-8 is a perfectly designed knife in the classic Bowie style that despite its historical roots presents itself as a modern, tactical tool in the unmistakable Pohl design.

Only high quality and resistant materials are used for its production: the stainless steel 90Cr18MoV (440C) hardened at 57/58HRC gives to the Bowie blade, 20cm long and 6mm thick, a high resistance to corrosion and an excellent edge retention. The full tang construction culminates in a G-10 handle that ends in a unique aesthetic element that impresses with its dramatic design.

The black surface with three-dimensional millings on the handle sits in chromatic contrast to the two-tone finish blade. The handle and blade are visually connected by a CNC-milled guard machined from a solid block of stainless steel. It is completed by the ever-present knotted camouflage paracord lanyard that distinguishes all Pohl Force productions and matches exactly the same paracord used in the filming of the movie.

The knife comes with a high quality thermoformed Kydex® sheath with belt loop and thigh stopper and is sold with a certificate of manufacture, a 3D Velcro patch, a care and cleaning cloth and a Nylon Zip bag with Pohl Force logos.

WP4 Rough Wolf is a knife researched and designed by chief instructor Paolo Bozzo of Wolfpack Survival Training (survival and survival school).

Dear Friend,
I am Paolo Bozzo and many times ml have found myself in unpleasant, pericolase and difficult situations. Designing a knife and testing it just a few afternoons in the woods is quite different than designing one trying to solve all those survival problems I have encountered in the last 25 years, both In ltaly and abroad. Mud, water, dirt, grease, blood, fatigue, night use, weak hand, limited space, trajectories, physical deficits, heat, cold, transportation, speed and much, much more...these are just some of the tests a good design must pass.

Here are some of the reasons for the WF4 Rough Wolf design.

1. Balance: it is fondamenlal that the center of gravity is shifted forward. beyond the heel, such that it decreases, i.e., saves energy when delivering the blow. one must always have the feeling that the knife falls forward.

2. Beating mass: 65% of the weight of the whole knife is between the first and second 3rd of the blade, giving maximum beating capacity in penetrating.

3. Cutting edge: due to the main core in the shape of an esse. the cutting edge is lower than the fingers of the handle, with the result that in the dynamics of the fendenle and biomechanics of the arm, the force expressed is never attenuated; especially never before the impact of the same on the object to be cut.

4. Blade height: compared to other blades, it has a significantly higher ability to dig holes.

s. Handling: excellent the ability to use the Wp4 for both coarse and precision work, this thanks to the ability to put the hand before the guard, giving absolute mastery of the blade despite its size. This is thanks to the large heel where the index finger can be inserted and the convenient thumb rest. It is also possible to do this while wearing tactical gloves.

6. Back: the inclination is reversed for 2 reasons; 1st to give forward beating mass, 2nd not to stress the wrist during use as chopping, a normal knife arrives at an angle on the object, devastating the point of impact being slight in thickness. This can only be avoided by straining the thumb-side wrist to tilt so that the back of the knife falls perpendicular on the object. The wp4 does not have this problem; it does not stress the wrist because the back of the blade already falls perpendicular to the object to be beaten.

7. Bevel: it is very high, has impressive penetration capacity.

8. Milling cutter: 5 millings placed on the blade plane for holding the knife with two hands when handling animal hides or for special uses during bushcrafting.

9. Grip: it is designed to decrease the possibility of losing the blade and avoid opening of the phalanges during pmlong use or in situations of prolonged physical deficit. Improved, anti-slip grip with internally concave Gauntlets to accommodate a Micro SurvivalKit.

As for the scabbard, I believe it is as important as the blade. I proceeded to design it and recommend its qualities; the main feature I wanted to put in designing it was the multi-positioning of the same: in particular, placing it at will on one's body or equipment facilitates the possibility of use.

This quality is particularly appreciated by military personnel, who are known to have special technical and logistical needs. For this purpose we have used in addition to Kydex the Keyblock closure, as well as the many holes along the perimeter; also safe for airdrop it has the possibility of use and positioning by both Right and Left handed operators.

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.
