Dimensions & Weight
Exact measurements for this piece are being added — reach out and we're happy to confirm dimensions before you order.
Care & Maintenance
Hand wash only with warm water and mild soap, and dry immediately — never leave a blade soaking or run it through a dishwasher. Wipe on a light coat of food-grade mineral oil after use to protect the steel, and store it dry in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip. A few seconds of care after each use keeps a hand-forged edge true for decades.
Personalisation & Engraving
Make it truly yours — we can engrave a name, date, monogram, or graphic on most of our blades using a 50-watt fiber laser for crisp, permanent detail.
Simply send us your engraving details by email after placing your order and we'll take care of the rest.
Shipping & Returns
Every order ships tracked across Canada and the USA, with free shipping on orders over $150. In-stock pieces leave the forge within a few business days; made-to-order pieces take a little longer, and we'll keep you posted along the way.
If something isn't right when it arrives, reach out to our team — we review every return request with care and will always work with you to make it right.

About this piece
A hand-forged clip-point bowie built for the outdoors — camp chores, field dressing, and general bushcraft work. The blade carries a fuller for reduced weight and better balance, with a wide, deep belly for confident slicing and chopping.
The handle is wrapped in a red and green cord pattern with brass spacers, finished with a solid brass guard and pommel for durability and grip in wet or gloved hands.
- Hand-forged fixed blade with fuller
- Brass guard and pommel
- Cord-wrapped handle with brass banding
- Full tang construction built for outdoor and camp use
Choose between a classic satin steel finish or a rainbow titanium-coated blade for extra corrosion resistance and a distinctive look.
Hand wash and dry after use; a light coat of oil on the blade will keep it in top condition — our Knife Care guide covers everything else worth knowing.

Shaped at the anvil

Hardened true
Each blade is hardened and tempered in controlled cycles, balancing a keen, hard edge with a resilient spine.
03 — Finished
Fitted & inspected
Ground, polished and fitted with its handle, then inspected edge to pommel before it ever leaves the forge.
