Kris Handmade Damascus Bowie Knife, 11.5” Overall, 7.0” Trailing Point Blade, Exotic Rosewood & Camel Bone Handle, Full Tang, Custom-Fitted Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving.
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The Kris features a hand-forged Damascus steel blade crafted through repeated layering, forge-welding, hammering, and finishing. This process creates the distinctive flowing Damascus pattern across the blade, giving every knife its own individual appearance.
Because the pattern develops naturally during forging and finishing, no two Kris blades are exactly alike. Each knife carries its own unique visual character and handcrafted detail.
The blade is heat treated to approximately HRC 62+ hardness, providing a dependable balance of sharpness, strength, durability, and edge retention for hunting and outdoor use.
The substantial 7.0-inch trailing point Bowie blade features an upswept profile with an extended cutting edge and fine tip, making it well suited for controlled slicing, hunting, field work, and general outdoor utility.
Scales & Handle
The handle combines highly figured exotic rosewood with camel bone, creating a distinctive natural design with strong contrast in color, grain, and texture.
The rosewood adds rich natural character, while the camel bone provides a traditional accent and unique visual variation.
Each handle is carefully shaped and finished to provide a secure, comfortable grip. Because both wood and bone are natural materials, every Kris knife will have its own individual appearance.
