{"product_id":"expendables-bowie-knife","title":"Expendables Bowie Knife Replica – 19-Inch D2 Steel, Camel Bone Handle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Expendables Bowie knife is a handmade replica of the big Gil Hibben Bowie seen in \u003cem\u003eThe Expendables\u003c\/em\u003e (2010) and \u003cem\u003eThe Expendables 2\u003c\/em\u003e (2012). It measures 19 inches overall, with a 13-inch D2 tool steel blade and a 6-inch camel bone handle, and it arrives sharp in an original leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGil Hibben's Bowie for The Expendables\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustom knifemaker Gil Hibben, already known for his Rambo knives, created the blades for Sylvester Stallone's ensemble action series. The standout was a large Bowie of about 19 inches, a modified take on Hibben's Alamo Bowie. On screen it carries an ivory-colored Micarta handle scrimshawed with the Expendables skull-and-raven emblem, along with a brass-toned guard and a blade catcher in the old Bowie tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first film, the knife passes between Dolph Lundgren's Gunnar Jensen and Jason Statham's Lee Christmas, and Lundgren carries it again in the sequel. Its sheer length and classic clip-point profile make it one of the most recognizable knives of the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull-Size Blade, Camel Bone Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replica keeps the film knife's overall scale, at 19 inches end to end. Its 13-inch blade gives it the long, commanding reach that defines the screen piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is D2 tool steel, a high-carbon, high-chromium steel that holds a keen edge and resists stains better than plain carbon steel. It is not fully stainless, so wipe it dry after handling and add a light coat of oil from time to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe handle is natural camel bone\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than the Micarta of the film knife, so each one has its own grain and subtle color shifts. Keep it away from long soaking and high heat, and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis knife is handmade and is not produced by Gil Hibben or Hibben Knives. Small differences in finish are part of its handmade character, and the fitted leather sheath protects the edge for storage or display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee another Hibben film design in our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/products\/rambo-4-knife-signature-edition\"\u003eRambo 4 knife Signature Edition\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse more in our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/movie-replica-knives\"\u003emovie replica knives\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/bowie-knives\"\u003eBowie knives\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unique Blades Runner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45215784468658,"sku":"","price":246.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/3109\/9570\/files\/Handmade_Expendables_Bowie_knife_replica_with_13-inch_D2_tool_steel_blade_and_camel_bone_handle.png?v=1792947551","url":"https:\/\/www.uniquebladesrunner.store\/en-au\/products\/expendables-bowie-knife","provider":"Unique Blades Runner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
