Winchester Comanche 3685 Cocobolo

Description

The Winchester Comanche 3685 Cocobolo knife, featuring a Cocobolo wood handle and a full tang clip point blade, showcases a design rooted in ancient history. The clip point blade style dates back to the Macedonian era, where artisans crafted early versions from flint during the Eneolithic period. Archaeologists have uncovered these early examples at sites like the Drim River estuary, highlighting the blade’s long-standing utility.

Over time, knife makers developed several variants of the clip point blade:

• The California Clip extends the clip length, making the blade more agile and precise.
• The Turkish Clip Point introduces an extreme recurve, adding a unique aesthetic and functional flair.

Jim Bowie popularized the clip point blade in the 19th century with his famous Bowie knife. This knife became known for its versatility in general use, solidifying the design’s place in knife-making traditions.
