This handmade replica measures 20 inches overall and pairs a 14-inch blade of 1095 high carbon steel with a black Micarta handle. It ships with a leather sheath, giving you a working-steel version of the film knife in its full size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Knife Billy Used in Predator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonny Landham's Billy says little, but his instincts drive the team's growing sense of dread. Near the end of the film he stays behind on a fallen log over a ravine, buying the others time, and waits for the Predator with his knife drawn. It is one of the most remembered moments in the film, and it is the reason collectors still look for this blade.

It has long been a favorite for large Bowie and camp blades. It takes a keen edge, holds it well, and is straightforward to bring back on a stone or strop, so a blade this long stays easy to maintain. Over time, carbon steel develops a gray patina from use and handling. Many owners enjoy this look on a film-style Bowie because it gives the knife a lived-in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 6-inch Micarta handle balances that steel with a grip that resists moisture and stays stable through temperature changes. Micarta is a dense layered composite, so it won't swell or crack the way untreated wood can. That matters on a knife with this much blade out front. If you like this size and profile, our \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/collections\/bowie-knives\"\u003eBowie knives\u003c\/a\u003e collection has more large fixed-blade designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for High Carbon Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 1095 is not stainless, it needs a little attention. Wipe the blade dry after handling, add a light coat of oil, and avoid storing the knife in its leather sheath for long periods, since leather can hold moisture against the steel. With that routine, the blade keeps its edge and develops an even patina instead of rust spots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unique Blades Runner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46587844788402,"sku":null,"price":122.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/3109\/9570\/files\/Billy_s_knife_from_Predator_replica_with_14-inch_1095_high_carbon_steel_blade.png?v=1792803256","url":"https:\/\/www.uniquebladesrunner.store\/en-gb\/products\/billy-s-knife-from-predator","provider":"Unique Blades Runner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
