Damascus Bowie Knife 13 Inch

This Damascus Bowie knife measures 13 inches overall with an 8 inch blade and 7 inches of cutting edge. It is built for hunters and outdoor users who want a traditional large fixed blade. The handle uses rose wood scales with a brass finger guard and cap. A thick cow hide leather sheath is included for carry and storage.

Capacity and Headroom

The 8 inch blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 steel layers reaches 56 to 58 HRC hardness for edge retention in field dressing and camp tasks. The 5 inch handle gives a secure grip for heavy chopping strokes. The knife is not suited for fine carving or precision work that demands a smaller blade profile.

Thermals Noise and Power

As a manual tool the knife produces no heat, noise or electrical draw during use. The high carbon Damascus steel requires regular maintenance to prevent rust. Clean and oil the blade after each use and avoid long term storage in the leather sheath which can trap moisture.

Questions about this item

How does the 8 inch Damascus blade perform alongside my older carbon-steel knives?

The blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel, hardened to 56 to 58 HRC, so it holds a keen edge similar to traditional high-carbon blades but requires the same diligent drying and oiling to prevent rust.

How can I verify the 13 inch Bowie is correctly heat-treated after I receive it?

A proper heat treatment to 56 to 58 HRC means the blade should resist rolling during heavy cutting and spring back when flexed gently; any soft spots or chipping indicate a problem.

Does the 13 inch knife ship with the red wood handle scales and brass guard already fitted, and is the leather sheath included?

Yes, the rose wood scales, brass finger guard and cap are pre-assembled on the 5 inch handle, and an extra-thick cow hide leather sheath is supplied in the box.
