Hard Wood Handle Damascus Bowie Knife 9" Blade 384 Layer HRC 58-60 | HS-324

A 9" Damascus Bowie knife hand-forged from 384 layers of 1095 high-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel carbon — the two steels are heated, folded, and forge-welded together repeatedly until the layer count is reached. The acid etch process reveals the contrast between the nickel (satin) and high-carbon (dark gray) layers, producing the visible Damascus pattern across the blade face. The hard wood handle is shaped and fitted through the full tang, and the knife comes with a cowhide leather sheath.

Handle & Blade Details

The 384-layer Damascus blade is made from two steel types — 1095 high-carbon steel for edge retention and hardness, and 15N20 nickel carbon for toughness and the bright satin contrast in the pattern. After forging and grinding, the blade is acid-etched to reveal the layer contrast. The edge is sharpened at 20 degrees and oil-tempered to HRC 58–60 — hard enough to hold a sharp edge through heavy outdoor use. The hard wood handle is shaped and polished by hand. Each knife is made individually, so minor variation in pattern and finish is expected.

FAQ

Q: What is Damascus steel and how is it made?
Damascus steel is made by forge-welding two or more steel types together and folding the billet repeatedly to build up layers. This knife uses 1095 high-carbon steel and 15N20 nickel carbon — 384 layers total. After forging and grinding, the blade is acid-etched to reveal the contrast between the nickel (satin) and high-carbon (dark gray) layers, producing the visible Damascus pattern.

Q: What does HRC 58-60 mean?
HRC refers to the Rockwell Hardness Scale, which measures how hard a steel is. At HRC 58–60, this blade is hard enough to hold a sharp edge through heavy outdoor use while remaining tough enough to resist chipping. The blade is oil-tempered to reach this hardness level.

Q: Does this knife come with a sheath?
Yes — a cowhide leather sheath is included. The knife and sheath shown in the product photos are what you will receive.

Q: Is this knife 100% handmade?
Yes — no CNC machining is used in the production of this knife. Each knife is made individually by hand, so minor variation in the Damascus pattern, handle finish, and overall appearance is expected and part of the handmade character.
