Odyssey Handmade Damascus Bowie Knife for Hunting, 10.0” Overall, 6.0” Trailing Point Blade, Yellow Heart Wood Handle, Damascus Guard, Full Tang, Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving.
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The blade is hand forged from 1095 and 15N20 steel 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 blades are exactly alike. Each Bowie 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 6.0-inch trailing point 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 is crafted from Yellow Heart wood, known for its naturally vibrant golden-yellow coloration and distinctive grain.
The wood is carefully shaped and finished to provide a secure, comfortable grip while complementing the full-tang construction.
A Damascus steel guard adds protection and visual continuity with the patterned blade, giving the knife a refined handcrafted appearance.
Natural variations in the Yellow Heart wood grain ensure that every handle has its own individual character.
