Production Cowboy #717

African Blackwood

The Production Cowboys are  a fine example of an “all around knife" or an “EDC” (every day carry)
The Cowboy model, designed by Nick, is specifically formulated to be easy to carry and use.
Made from 1084 steel, with  a 3-1/4” blade, this knife will cut string, slice an apple, open boxes, etc, but also boasts a larger belly which makes it convenient for skinning game and preparation of food while camping or other outdoor activities.
At 7-3/4” though, this knife is not cumbersome to carry on your belt in public settings.
(Be sure to always check local laws concerning your location and it’s specific regulations)

This particular model of the Production  Cowboy is made with an African Blackwood handle.

African Blackwood was imported and used in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Even the name “ebony” has an Egyptian derivation as “hbny”—which has been shown to refer to primarily to Dalbergia melanoxylon, rather than the species which are considered to be ebony today: such as those in the Diospyros genus. In addition, African blackwood is technically in the Rosewood genus (Dalbergia), and is more stable and resistant to movement and warping than other types of ebony.

African blackwood is considered to be among the hardest and densest of woods in the world; indeed, among some 285 species tested, (including Lignum Vitae), Gabriel Janka originally found African Blackwood to be the very hardest.
