Brass guards and spacers set this bowie apart from the more subdued handle finishes elsewhere in the collection — paired with a bold blue, white, and gold resin handle that reads as noticeably different from the natural bone and horn combinations used on other bowie knives.
The Brass Guard Detail
A brass guard sits between blade and handle, adding both a visual break in material and a functional buffer that protects the grip transition point. It’s a traditional bowie feature, here finished with additional brass spacers for a more built-up, layered look.
The Twist Damascus Blade
At 52mm wide and 5mm thick, the blade carries a twist Damascus pattern — created by twisting the steel billet during forging before drawing out the final shape, giving a consistent wave through the metal’s full length.
Hidden Tang, Real Weight
At 470 grams, this has genuine substance in hand. Hidden tang construction keeps the blade securely anchored inside the handle, a traditional bowie build that keeps the profile clean without sacrificing strength.
The Sheath
Cow leather with an embossed crocodile-pattern finish in brown and blue, built with belt space and a pin lock for secure carry.
Making It Yours
Every knife is made to order, typically 5-7 business days before it leaves the shop. See the rest of our handmade hunting knives for other bowie sizes, including our 13-inch bone and horn bowie if natural materials suit your preference better than the bold resin handle here.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the brass guard actually do beyond adding to the look? It creates a protective buffer at the blade-to-handle transition point — a traditional bowie feature that’s functional as well as decorative.
How does this compare to your other 13-inch Damascus bowie knife? Same blade length and steel, but this one has a brass guard with a bold blue, white, and gold resin handle, versus the other’s bone and bull horn combination — a bolder color choice versus a more natural material look.
Is the sheath made from genuine crocodile leather? No — it’s cow leather with an embossed crocodile-pattern finish, not genuine exotic hide.
Will the resin handle color fade or wear over time? Resin is a stable, colorfast material that holds up well with normal use and basic care.
