Compact Handmade Damascus Steel Bowie Knife – 8.5" with Walnut Wood Handle

Compact in size but bold in craftsmanship, this handmade Damascus steel Bowie knife from Heritage Forge is perfect for field tasks, bushcraft, and collection. With an overall length of 8.5 inches, it features a sturdy 3.5-inch blade, hand-forged from alternating layers of 1095 high carbon and 15N20 nickel steel—folded into an impressive 384-layer Damascus pattern.

The walnut wood handle offers a natural grip and warm, rustic appeal. The blade is oil tempered to 58–60 HRC for edge strength and resilience, and honed to a 20-degree cutting edge for precise slicing in tight spaces.

Though compact, this full-tang fixed blade is built to last and comes with a hand-stitched cowhide leather sheath for secure and stylish carry. Like all Heritage Forge knives, it's 100% handmade, with no CNC machining—each piece is unique, just like the artisans who forge them.
