12" Black/Grey Wood Bowie Knife

BigHorn Steel’s black/grey densified wood handle Bowie knife is a masterpiece crafted from 512-layer Damascus steel. Running 12", this Bowie knife is a symbol of exceptional traditional craftsmanship paired with robust design, suitable for everyday outdoor activities, the most rugged conditions, or a collector's display case.

Key features

• 512-layer Damascus steel blade: The extensive layering in the Damascus steel provides strength and a unique pattern, making the blade functional and visually striking.
• Black/grey densified wood handle: The handle’s sophisticated black and grey tones offer a modern look, while its densified wood material ensures durability and a comfortable grip.
• Leather sheath for protection: Accompanied by a high-quality leather sheath, this knife is well-protected and easy to transport, adding to its functionality.
• Classic Bowie design: The knife’s design pays homage to the traditional Bowie style, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors.
• Versatile use: Ideal for outdoor adventures, collecting, or as a showpiece, the BH43-1 is as practical as it is aesthetically pleasing.

Cleaning and maintenance

• Cleaning: Rinse the knife under running water and wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials like steel wool, which can damage the blade’s etching.
• Oiling: After cleaning, lightly oil the blade with a food-safe oil to prevent rust and maintain its artful appeal.
• Refreshing the pattern: Over time, the Damascus pattern may fade. This can easily be rectified by immersing the blade in a hot black instant coffee solution, a mild etchant, for 15 minutes to an hour.

Safety note 

Remember, knives are not just tools. They are also potential hazards if not handled correctly. Always use knives with care and keep them out of reach of children. When not in use, ensure the knife is folded and securely stored.
