Blade Details

The blade is hand forged from high carbon steel — a material chosen by serious knife makers for its superior edge retention, ease of sharpening, and the character it develops over time. At 10 inches with a clip point profile, the blade handles the full range of Bowie tasks: heavy camp chopping, clean slicing cuts, and precise tip work for skinning and field dressing. The mirror polish is applied by hand, bringing the surface to a brilliant reflective finish that reveals the steel's quality in every inch. Carbon steel develops a natural patina with use — a living record of every task it has performed.

Handle Details

The natural stag antler handle is one of the most iconic pairings in American knife making — and for good reason. Stag antler is dense, warm in the hand, naturally textured for grip without being abrasive, and visually stunning. No two stag antler handles are identical — the natural grain, color, and crown shape of each piece make your knife truly one of a kind. The polished brass bolster adds weight and balance at the guard, and the collar rings create a refined transition between the guard and the antler that elevates the entire look of the knife.

Sheath Details

The knife comes with a plain genuine tan leather belt sheath, hand stitched with orange thread along both edges. The silver snap button keeps the knife securely retained during carry. The belt loop is sized for standard belts and allows for comfortable vertical carry at the hip. Simple, clean, and built to protect the blade and the edge during transport and storage.

Craftsmanship

Every element of this knife is made by hand. The blade is forged, shaped, and polished by a craftsman who understands that a mirror finish is earned — not applied. The handle is fitted and assembled by hand, with the brass bolster and collar rings seated precisely. The sheath is cut and stitched by hand. This is handmade American-style knife craft at its finest.

Care Instructions

Wipe the blade dry after every use. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil or blade oil to the carbon steel surface regularly to prevent oxidation. The mirror polish will show fingerprints and light scratches with use — a light pass with a polishing cloth keeps it looking its best. Condition the tan leather sheath with leather conditioner seasonally to maintain suppleness. Store in a dry, ventilated environment away from moisture.

Keep out of reach of children. Always follow applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding carrying of fixed-blade knives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a full tang knife?
Yes — the blade runs full tang through the handle for maximum strength and balance throughout the full 15-inch length.

Will the mirror polish scratch over time?
Mirror polished carbon steel will develop light surface scratches and patina with regular use — this is natural and adds character. A polishing cloth can restore much of the shine between uses if you prefer to maintain the finish.

Is the stag antler handle slippery when wet?
Natural stag antler has a porous, textured surface that provides good grip even when wet. The brass bolster also adds a positive grip reference point for the index finger.

Can this knife handle heavy chopping tasks?
Yes. The full tang construction and 10-inch carbon steel blade make this knife capable of heavy camp chopping, wood splitting batoning, and sustained field use. Carbon steel handles stress well and holds an edge through hard use.

Is this knife suitable as a gift?
Absolutely. The combination of mirror polished blade, natural stag antler handle, and brass bolster makes this one of the most visually impressive handmade knives available at this price point. It arrives ready to gift with the leather sheath included.
