The Heretic Knives Kobold Bowie Fixed Blade is a compact powerhouse that combines premium materials, precision craftsmanship, and everyday practicality in a sleek, hard-use package. Designed for those who appreciate high-performance cutting tools without unnecessary bulk, the Kobold delivers exceptional capability in a remarkably compact footprint. Whether carried as a discreet everyday companion, a backup field blade, or a premium collector's piece, this knife offers the quality and reliability that Heretic Knives is known for.
At the heart of the Kobold is a 2.8-inch Bowie-style blade crafted from CPM MagnaCut steel, one of the most sought-after blade steels available today. Renowned for its outstanding balance of toughness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, MagnaCut provides elite-level performance across a wide range of cutting tasks. The Bowie profile adds versatility with a fine point for detailed work while maintaining enough belly for efficient slicing and utility cutting. Finished in a durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the blade offers enhanced wear resistance, reduced glare, and a sleek tactical appearance that complements its premium construction.
Despite its compact dimensions, the Kobold is built to handle demanding daily use. The 0.11-inch blade thickness provides an excellent balance of cutting performance and durability, while the fixed blade construction eliminates moving parts and ensures dependable strength whenever it's needed. Whether opening packages, processing materials, or tackling precision cutting tasks, the Kobold is designed to perform with confidence.
One of the most distinctive features of this knife is its stunning glow carbon fiber handle. Lightweight, durable, and visually striking, the handle delivers a unique appearance both in daylight and low-light environments. The carbon fiber construction keeps weight to a minimum while providing excellent strength and rigidity. Ergonomically shaped for comfort and control, the 3.2-inch handle allows for a secure grip despite the knife's compact size, making it highly capable during extended use.
Measuring just 6 inches overall, the Kobold is exceptionally easy to carry while remaining large enough to handle real-world cutting tasks. Its streamlined profile slips easily into a pack, pocket carry system, or everyday gear loadout without adding unnecessary weight or bulk. At only 6.5 ounces, it strikes an ideal balance between portability and substance.
Compact, premium, and built without compromise, the Heretic Knives Kobold Bowie Fixed Blade showcases top-tier materials and refined craftsmanship in a versatile everyday cutting tool that stands out from the crowd.
Day or night, the Kobold with the Glow Carbon Fiber Handle is always the brightest blade in the room, available at Smoky Mountain Knife Works.
