About Damascus Bowie Knives

How big is a Bowie knife?

Blades in this collection run from 6 to 13 inches, with most models between 7 and 9 inches. Overall length, tip to butt, runs from 11 up to 18 inches on the longest patterns. A 10 to 12 inch blade is a common working size for a Bowie carried on a belt. See the Damascus hunting knives for a shorter fixed blade, or our carbon and satin steel knives for a Bowie at a lower price.

How do you tell if a Damascus blade is real?

Real pattern-welded Damascus shows its layers on both faces and on the spine, because the pattern runs through the steel; the etch brings it out. A fake prints or etches a pattern onto one plain steel, so the spine shows none. Read Real vs Fake Damascus for what to check before you buy, and browse the stag handle knives for a classic Bowie grip.

Common questions

What is a Bowie knife?

A Bowie knife is a large fixed blade with a clip point, built for camp work and big-game field dressing. In this collection blades run from 6 to 13 inches, with an overall length from 11 to 18 inches, and every one ships with a char leather belt sheath.

How much does a Damascus Bowie knife cost?

Prices in this collection run from $159 to $319, depending on blade length and handle material. A carbon or satin steel Bowie costs less, since it skips the pattern-welding step that a Damascus blade needs.

Is a Bowie knife good for camping?

Yes. A Bowie's long, heavy blade chops kindling, batons small wood with a wooden baton and clears light brush, while the clipped tip handles finer cuts. For carving and skinning, many people pair it with a shorter knife.

What is a Bowie knife used for?

Today a Bowie knife is a camp and field tool: chopping and batoning small wood, clearing brush, and field dressing and quartering big game. The clip point handles detail cuts and the long, heavy blade does the chopping. Ours come with a leather belt sheath.

What is the warranty on a Damascus Bowie knife?

Every Bowie knife here carries a Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Returns are open for 30 days from delivery on a knife without engraving, and shipping within the US is free.
