This extremely stylish and affordable Bowie Knife comes with a genuine leather stitched belt sheath, that is embossed and equipped with snap lock secure.

Arkansas culturalist and researcher Russell T. Johnson describes the James Black knife in the following manner and at the same time captures the quintessence of the Bowie Knife: "It must be long enough to use as a sword, sharp enough to use as a razor, wide enough to use as a paddle, and heavy enough to use as a hatchet."
