The Damascus Steel Blade
The blade is forged from Damascus steel with a flowing layered wavy pattern etched across the full blade flat. The wide clip point Bowie profile is a classic design built for field dressing, camp tasks, and display. The etched finish gives the blade a dark, dramatic appearance that highlights the natural Damascus layers. For more handmade Bowie knives, explore our Hunting Knives Collection.
The Abalone & Horn Handle
The handle is built in three distinct sections — a front section of iridescent abalone/mother of pearl that shimmers blue and green in the light, a middle section of alternating black, yellow, and white resin spacer rings, and a rear dark black horn cap. A brass double crossguard at the front adds a classic Bowie aesthetic and protects the hand. The hidden tang construction gives the handle a clean, seamless appearance. No two handles are identical due to the natural variation in abalone and horn.
The Black Leather Sheath
The sheath is crafted from plain smooth black leather with a brass concho snap button closure. Yellow/cream stitching runs along all edges. A belt loop with snap tab on the back allows for easy field carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is abalone and why is it used on knife handles?
A: Abalone is a type of sea shell known for its iridescent inner surface that shimmers with blue, green, and purple tones depending on the light. It is prized in premium knife making for its natural beauty and unique appearance — no two pieces are identical.
Q: What is a hidden tang construction?
A: A hidden tang means the blade steel extends into the handle but is not visible from the outside. The handle materials are fitted over the tang and secured, giving the knife a clean, seamless appearance between blade and handle.
Q: What is the difference between a Bowie knife and a hunting knife?
A: A Bowie knife is a specific style of large fixed blade knife with a wide clip point blade and a crossguard — originally designed for both hunting and self-defense. It is now primarily a collector and hunting knife prized for its classic American heritage and bold profile.
Q: Does it come with a sheath?
A: Yes. Every knife includes a black leather sheath with a brass concho snap button closure, yellow/cream stitching, and a belt loop for carry.
