KNIVES

Below is description from Cold Steel's website.  Looks like Lynn may have written the summary.  In reality, this is one massive high quality field knife that is more likely to make the best camp knife you have ever owned.

Awesome is the only adjective that even begins to describe the Cold Steel Laredo Bowie. In fact, it really has to be seen to be appreciated, since mere words just don't do it justice. It features a long, heavy blade made from CPM-3V tool steel blade construction, which is flat ground to produce incredible cutting power and perfect balance. And, as an added bonus, it is given an absolutely ferocious cutting edge that terminates in a dagger-sharp point. To further enhance its versatility and efficiency as a weapon, it sports a four and a half-inch long sharpened clip point that helps facilitate the deadly back cut, as well as a wide variety of more conventional cuts and stabbing attacks. The rich black linen Micarta coffin shape handle is as tough as it is beautiful. It is specially contoured to fit the hand like a glove and to provide a positive grip when cutting, chopping, or thrusting.Each Laredo Bowie is supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely on your side always ready to defend you and your loved ones.
