Closing Knife Andre De Villiers BOWIE COPPER ACID RAIN FRAG.

Bowie is as menacing as a folding knife can get. It comes with not only an intimidating look, but a set of features that allow it to shine as a tactical and/or survival tool. Once you get past the Bowie blade that gives the Badlands its name, you have a set of dual fins, just like the DF Pathfinder, making it a true combat knife. Like the Emerson Wave, the fin on the back of the blade automatically opens the knife when it is pulled from the pocket, but it was not designed to do so. The Wave was originally intended for actual knife fighting, protecting the back of your hand if your opponent’s blade follows your spine.

Another thing that sets this knife apart from other tactical designs is ergonomics. Granted, many ADV grips are similar, but this one is by far the most comfortable we’ve ever felt. The addition of a second finger slot and a slight curve to the overall shape (both not found on the original Butcher) make this knife extremely comfortable to hold and use. It features a ball bearing pin, roller ball pocket clip, replaceable lock insert/travel damper, and inset Torx screw pin, a signature feature of Andre’s work. Paul Hogan would agree; “This is a knife!”
