The Subway Bowie’s 2.8” LC200N steel blade is engineered for peak performance. LC200N is celebrated for its outstanding corrosion resistance and edge retention, making it a top-tier choice for those who demand reliability in challenging conditions. The blade’s Bowie shape, with its clipped point and precise edge, delivers excellent cutting performance for a variety of tasks, from slicing to detail work. Finished with a satin polish, the blade combines understated elegance with rugged functionality, while its .11” thickness ensures both strength and precision.
The hidden tang construction of the Subway Bowie provides a clean, streamlined look while maintaining the structural integrity expected of a high-quality fixed blade. Its ergonomic black FRN (fiberglass-reinforced nylon) handle is lightweight and durable, featuring an index finger choil for enhanced control and grip. A lanyard hole in the handle adds versatility, allowing you to customize the knife with your favorite lanyard or paracord for added security during carry.
Compact yet capable, the Subway Bowie measures just 5.11” overall and weighs a mere 1.5 ounces, making it an excellent choice for those who prioritize portability without sacrificing performance. Despite its small size, the knife feels secure and comfortable in hand, offering confidence for tasks big and small.
Carrying the Subway Bowie is as discreet as it gets. It comes with a durable Boltaron sheath designed to protect the blade and provide multiple carry options. The sheath includes a black paracord lanyard and a ball chain, making it easy to wear as a neck knife, stash in a bag, or attach to gear for quick access.
