TOPS KNIVES PRATHER WAR BOWIE KNIFE
The Prather War Bowie’s blade is a massive 7 inches long and a nearly unbreakable 1/4 inch thick. The blade is purposely wider than others to create a more devastating wound channel. The overall length is 12 5/8 inches, allowing a generous grip that accommodates large or gloved hands. And whether the operator’s hands are bloody or frozen, Top’s Knives’s famous Rocky Mountain Tread handle scales offer the ideal combat hold.
The War Bowie’s classic sweep and forward balance point naturally facilitate cutting and chopping. The unique dropped blade forms an integral safety guard that makes it impossible for the operator’s fingers to accidentally slide forward and be cut while stabbing with forward or reverse grips.
Thumb grooves on the spine add extra control for fine cuts. A sharpening groove at the base of the edge eases sharpening in the field. The Prather War Bowie’s false edge delivers superior penetration when thrusting. The War Bowie comes with a black nylon tactical sheath, that has a front pocket and MOLLE webbing on the back.
The War Bowie was designed by former 7th Special Forces, DEA Special Agent, DIA Intelligence Officer, and Bujinkan martial arts master Jeff Prather. Jeff also founded Warriorschool, a tactical training academy that specializes in preparing discreet government agencies and specialized military units for hostile overseas environments.
The War Bowie is Jeff’s ideal blade design based on his twenty five years of real world experience both here and abroad. The Prather War Bowie – by warriors… for warriors!

My favorite knife Very well thought out,excellent construction. Cutting edge keeps crazy sharp. Nearly same edge size and shape as a 7in chef knife. Flat grind. 1/4″ thick. Great for chopper, prying, slicing, every type of cut. Super handle design. Your hand will not slip, including reverse grip.I purchased an additional kydex sheath for better urban carry ($65). Definitely would advocate that. Original sheath is fine for survival or camping situations or upside down attached to vest…
A knife to be respected. This ain’t your mother’s kitchen knife, nor is it a woodcraft knife, although it will handle the occasional job thrown at it. No, I wouldn’t baton with this knife but carving, hacking, whittling, slicing, dicing, and just about anything else with the exception of filleting fish, the Prather War Bowie will handle the task. However, the REAL purpose of this knife, and that at which it shines is as a defensive/offensive weapon. For these purposes it’s design is just what I was looking for…
this is one B.A. Bowie Let me start by saying that it is obvious a lot of thought went into designing this knife. However almost no thought went into its sheath.Back to the knife itself, it is a fantastic combination of function, ergonomics and aesthetics. This knife is what I would call a tactical/utility knife. Yes, Mr. Prather was obviously focused on the tactical end but in some ways this knife has a little more utility in it than a Ka-bar. The blade has a very nice nearly flat grind that goes up…
