Rosewood Handle Damascus Bowie Knife — Upswept Quillon Guard & Leather Sheath

Damascus Steel Bowie with a Rosewood Handle and an Upswept Quillon Guard.

This handmade Damascus steel Bowie knife is built around a large clip-point blade forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a bold flowing feather and ladder Damascus pattern unique to every blade. A long fuller groove runs the length of the blade, reducing weight while maintaining structural strength. The upswept clip carries a false edge. A dark steel curved crossguard with an upswept quillon sits at the blade-handle junction — the upswept quillon curving toward the blade tip in the classic Bowie guard style. The dark rosewood handle scales are smooth with a warm brown grain and two diamond-shaped brass gold inlay rivets set into the handle surface. The tan cognac leather sheath features a chain-link rope embossed border tooling and a snap strap closure with brass rivet.

The Damascus Blade

The blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a bold flowing feather and ladder pattern unique to every blade. The large clip-point Bowie profile gives the blade a long, wide belly for field dressing and skinning. 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. No two Damascus blades are identical.

The Guard & Handle

The dark steel curved crossguard carries an upswept quillon — a curved extension that projects from the crossguard toward the blade tip. The upswept quillon is the defining hardware detail of the classic Bowie guard, distinguishing it from a standard crossguard. The dark rosewood handle scales are smooth with a warm brown grain. Two diamond-shaped brass gold inlay rivets are set into the handle surface — a decorative hardware detail that adds a warm gold accent to the dark rosewood. The curved ergonomic profile of the handle fills the hand naturally.

The Leather Sheath

The tan cognac leather sheath is shaped to fit the large Bowie blade securely. A chain-link rope embossed border tooling pattern runs along the edges of the sheath. A snap strap closure with brass rivet secures the knife in the sheath during carry. A belt loop allows for easy field carry on the hip.

Knife Care Instructions

• Dry the blade immediately after any moisture contact
• Apply mineral oil to the Damascus blade regularly to maintain the pattern
• Clean the rosewood handle with a soft dry cloth
• Condition the leather sheath with leather conditioner
