1095 High Carbon Steel Blade:

The blade is hand forged from 1095 high carbon steel — one of the most trusted and time-tested steels in American knife making. Favored by bladesmiths and outdoorsmen alike, 1095 steel achieves excellent hardness and delivers outstanding edge retention, making it ideal for demanding field tasks. It sharpens quickly and easily, even in the field with basic tools, and develops a beautiful natural patina over time that tells the story of every hunt and adventure. The classic small Bowie clip-point profile provides a versatile tip for piercing and detail work alongside a strong spine for chopping and heavy-duty tasks.

Stacked Leather Handle:

The handle is built from individually stacked leather discs compressed tightly together to form a solid, ergonomic grip — a construction method with deep roots in American frontier and military knife tradition. Stacked leather provides a naturally warm, comfortable feel in the hand, excellent grip even when wet, and a classic aesthetic that only improves with age and use. The handle conforms slightly to the user's grip over time, making this knife feel more personal with every outing.

Hand Forged Excellence:

Each knife is meticulously hand forged by skilled artisans who understand the tradition and demands of the classic Bowie design. From forging the 1095 steel to stacking and shaping the leather handle, every step is performed with attention to detail and dedication to quality. The result is a knife with soul — one that carries the mark of the maker's hands in every detail.

Perfect For:

Hunting and field dressing, camping and outdoor cooking, bushcraft and survival tasks, everyday carry in the field, hiking and trail use, general utility cutting, knife collectors and enthusiasts, premium gift for hunters and outdoorsmen.

Why Choose This Small Bowie:

The 11.5-inch overall length hits the sweet spot for a small Bowie — substantial enough for serious field work yet nimble enough for precise tasks. 1095 steel is the choice of working knife users who value a blade that performs hard and sharpens fast. The stacked leather handle is a proven classic that gets better with every use. This is a knife built to be used, carried, and passed down.

Note: Each knife is individually hand forged. The stacked leather handle will develop a unique patina and character with use, adding to the personal story of your knife. Slight variations in finish are natural.

Care Instructions: Clean and dry blade thoroughly after each use. Apply light oil to 1095 steel regularly to prevent oxidation — a natural patina will develop over time and is normal. Condition the leather handle and sheath periodically with leather conditioner. Store in a dry environment away from moisture.
