Damascus Bowie Knife

Forged Steel Character

This handforged Damascus Bowie knife features an 8 inch blade shaped through layered steel forging. The surface displays flowing pattern lines formed during the forging process. Each blade carries natural variation, giving every piece individual character.

At 13 inches overall, the knife maintains a balanced mid-length profile suitable for controlled cutting tasks.

Blade Structure

The Damascus blade measures 5mm at the spine, supporting rigidity along the cutting path. The 7.75 inch edge follows a clean bevel transition without decorative excess.

The forging process enhances surface pattern depth while maintaining functional grind geometry.

Micarta Handle Composition

The handle uses black Micarta scales secured to a full tang core. Micarta resists moisture and maintains surface stability over time. The contour supports firm grip positioning without aggressive shaping.

Fasteners secure the handle evenly against the steel tang.

Custom Leather Sheath

Each Bowie knife includes a custom leather sheath shaped to the blade profile. Reinforced stitching protects the edge during storage and transport.
