Buffalo Bill - Wild West Bowie Knife

In a life that was part fact and part fabricated folklore, William "Buffalo Bill" Cody came to embody the spirit of the Wild West, turning his own real-life experiences into a national myth of frontier life that still endures today. Cody had done it all: trapper, horse wrangler, prospector, Pony Express rider, wagonmaster, buffalo hunter, Army scout, and Civil War soldier. In a world hungry for all things "Wild West" Cody packaged his adventures into a traveling show that featured live animals, real Indians, some of the most famous figures from the American frontier, and "real life" re-enactments. Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show was a hit throughout America and Europe, and made William "Buffalo Bill" Cody one of the most recognizable characters ever to come out of the Wild West. Availableexclusively from American Mint, this magnificent bowie knife celebrates the spirit of the Wild West. Meticulously designed and crafted in 420 stainless steel, this impressive bowie knife is a full 133.8" in length. The 8 7.16" polished steel blade features a laser-etched tribute to Buffalo Bill with an incredibly detailed portrait of the Wild West's greatest legend. The handle has handsomely finished ebony wood grips and is accented with a brass plate etched with his signature. The beautifully engraved, golden-finished fingerguard and pommel add a showman's touch to this museum-quality tribute.
