440C Stainless Steel Blade
The approximately 10-inch 440C stainless steel blade provides a substantial cutting surface and is well suited to a variety of appropriate outdoor utility tasks. 440C is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its combination of hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance when properly heat-treated and maintained.
The large Bowie-style profile gives the knife its unmistakable traditional appearance while providing a practical blade for controlled cutting tasks around camp and in outdoor environments.
Natural Stag Horn Handle
The approximately 5-inch natural stag horn handle gives this Bowie knife a distinctive traditional hunting-knife appearance. Each piece of stag horn naturally varies in color, texture, pattern, and shape, making every handmade knife visually unique.
The handle provides a substantial gripping surface for controlled handling and complements the polished stainless-steel blade beautifully.
Handcrafted Leather Sheath
A leather sheath is included to provide convenient protection for the blade during storage and appropriate transport. Its traditional appearance pairs naturally with the stag horn handle and gives the complete knife a classic handcrafted look.
The sheath also helps protect the blade from scratches and accidental contact when the knife is not being used.

Suitable occasions include:
Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep the Blade Clean
After use, wipe the 440C stainless steel blade with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, moisture, fingerprints, sap, or other residue.
Keep the Blade Dry
Although 440C stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, it should still be dried thoroughly after exposure to water or humidity.
Apply Protective Oil
For long-term storage, apply a very thin layer of suitable knife oil or food-safe mineral oil to the blade. This provides additional protection against corrosion.
Maintain the Cutting Edge
Use an appropriate sharpening system and maintain a consistent sharpening angle. Avoid excessive grinding, which can unnecessarily remove material from the blade.
Care for the Stag Horn
Clean the natural stag horn handle with a soft cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, extreme heat, harsh chemicals, or aggressive cleaning products.
Protect the Leather Sheath
Leather should be kept reasonably dry and stored in a ventilated location. If the sheath becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally. Do not place the knife inside a damp leather sheath.
Long-Term Storage
For extended storage, clean and dry the knife, apply a light protective coating to the blade, and store it in a cool, dry environment. Periodically inspect both the blade and sheath.
Handmade & Natural Material Disclaimer
Because this is a custom handmade knife featuring natural stag horn, every piece will have its own character. Natural variations in the stag horn\'s color, texture, grain, shape, and markings are expected. Minor variations in the handmade blade finish and leather sheath may also occur.
These characteristics are part of the individuality and craftsmanship of a handmade product rather than manufacturing defects.
Safety Note
This is a sharp, substantial fixed-blade knife. Handle it responsibly, keep it secured when not in use, and keep it away from children and unauthorized users. Follow all applicable laws regarding possession, carrying, transportation, hunting, and outdoor use in your location.
A substantial 10-inch 440C stainless steel blade, natural stag horn handle, handcrafted leather sheath, and classic Bowie styling come together to create a distinctive knife for outdoor enthusiasts, traditional knife collectors, campers, bushcraft enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates handmade craftsmanship.
