Rick Hinderer's design philosophy is deeply rooted in his experience with using his knives as part of his first responder background. First and foremost his knives are made to be used. You can be assured, then, that the materials and design are very carefully considered and with the end user in mind.
The Hinderer Ranch Bowie fixed blade is as tough as they come and built to handle any and every task in any conditions! It is a compact, beautifully balanced blade with a nod to the Bowie knives of the past but with the modern aesthetic the contemporary user, collector demands. The blade steel is one of the best, 3V stainless with a black coating and a full tang construction, giving serious strength and durability. Two micarta scales provide a comfortable and secure grip in the hand. The local Amish handmade, leather sheath included with the knife is a Rick Hinderer Knives fixed blade staple.
