This is the Outback Bowie Type 1L. The Type 1 model was fitted with either a stacked leather (L) or Black Walnut (W) handle. The design of this knife reflects the influences of either the Al Mar "Pathfinder Combat Machete", the WC Johnson Recurve Bowie, or the small Schrade "Special Forces Bowie-Machete".

This one features the stacked leather handle; giving it a militaresque look and feel verses a stately appearance. It has a large advanced curve machete-style blade, brass cross guard & birds-head pommel, and a lanyard hole.

The handle diameter on this knife was too large for my hand to wield it effectively or safely, so I had it professionally reduced to fit. Now it’s perfect!
