Valor Handmade Damascus Recurve Bowie Knife, 13.0” Overall, 8.0” Blade, Micarta Handle, 440-Layer Damascus Steel, Hand-Stitched Leather Sheath, Pro Knife Sharpening & Personalized Engraving.
Damascus Steel and Blade Detail
The Valor features a substantial 8.0-inch recurve blade crafted from 440 layers of hand-forged Damascus steel. The blade is created through repeated layering, forge-welding, hammering, and finishing, producing the distinctive flowing pattern associated with Damascus steel.
Because the pattern develops naturally during forging and finishing, no two Valor 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.
The recurve profile provides an extended cutting edge with a pronounced curved section, making the Valor well suited for controlled slicing, hunting, field work, and general outdoor utility.
Scales & Handle
The handle is crafted from durable Micarta, a stable composite material valued for its strength, dependable grip, and resistance to moisture and everyday outdoor wear.
The handle is carefully shaped and finished to provide a secure and comfortable grip while balancing the substantial 8.0-inch Bowie blade.
