Bowie Knife Blank – 12” | High Carbon Damascus Steel Hunting Knife Blade – 352 Layers

Crafted with precision and historical inspiration, this 12-inch Bowie knife blank is built for serious makers, collectors, and hunters who demand performance and authenticity. Based on the classic American Bowie knife design, first made popular by James Black and Jim Bowie in the early 19th century, this blank is ideal for custom knife builds, hunting tools, or display pieces.

The knife features the iconic clip-point blade style—perfect for skinning, slicing, and butchering game. Its thick, broad design allows for powerful cuts, while the flat portion near the guard offers stability and control.

Blade Material: Pattern-Welded Damascus Steel – 352 Layers

Forged from 11 pieces of steel—6 pieces of carbon steel (#43 and #40) and 5 pieces of 1095 high carbon steel—this blade has been folded five times to produce a stunning 352-layer Damascus pattern. The result is a steel that combines exceptional hardness (55–56 HRC) with the durability and flexibility needed for tough tasks.

Damascus steel is not only functional—it’s also visually striking, with unique, wavy grain patterns formed through the folding process. This makes each blade a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
