Classic Bowie. D2 Steel. Brass Bolster. Rosewood Handle.
This handmade D2 steel Bowie knife is built around a large clip-point blade ground from high-carbon D2 tool steel — one of the hardest and most wear-resistant steels used in fixed blade knives. The blade carries a mirror satin polished finish with a long fuller groove running the full length of the blade and an upswept clip with a false edge. A large solid brass bolster sits front and back at the blade-handle junction — polished to a warm gold finish, the classic hardware detail of the traditional American Bowie knife. The handle is dark rosewood with warm reddish-brown grain and black spacer layers, shaped with a finger groove profile for a secure grip. The dark chocolate brown leather sheath features a floral botanical embossed tooling pattern on the front, white cream stitching along the edges, and a brass snap button closure with brass concho.

The D2 Blade
D2 tool steel is a high-carbon, high-chromium steel that holds an edge longer than most stainless steels and resists wear under heavy field use. The large clip-point Bowie profile gives the blade a long, wide belly for field dressing and skinning, with a controlled tip for precision work. The mirror satin polished finish shows the quality of the hollow grind. A long fuller groove runs the full length of the blade, reducing overall weight while maintaining structural strength. The upswept clip carries a false edge that reduces weight at the tip and improves point control.
The Brass Bolster & Rosewood Handle
The large solid brass bolster sits front and back at the blade-handle junction — polished to a warm gold finish. The brass bolster is the defining hardware detail of the traditional American Bowie knife, protecting the hand and adding a warm gold accent that contrasts cleanly with the dark rosewood handle. The handle is dark rosewood with warm reddish-brown grain and black spacer layers between the wood and the bolster. A finger groove profile is shaped into the handle for a secure, controlled grip.
The Leather Sheath
The dark chocolate brown leather sheath features a floral botanical embossed tooling pattern pressed into the front surface. White cream stitching runs along the sheath edges. A brass snap button closure with brass concho secures the knife in the sheath during carry. A belt loop allows for easy field carry on the hip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the brass piece between the blade and handle?
A: The brass piece is a solid bolster — it sits front and back at the blade-handle junction, protecting the hand and adding a warm gold accent. The large brass bolster is the defining hardware detail of the traditional American Bowie knife.
Q: What is the groove running along the blade?
A: The groove is called a fuller — a channel ground into the flat of the blade running its full length. The fuller reduces the overall weight of the blade while maintaining structural strength and stiffness. It is a traditional blade feature found on many classic Bowie and hunting knives.
Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a dark chocolate brown leather sheath with floral botanical embossed tooling, white cream stitching, and a brass snap button closure with brass concho for secure carry.
