We build our Dundee-style bowie knives by hand in our Wyoming workshop — large, bold replica blades inspired by that iconic Australian bush knife, made for collectors and fans who want the real thing in steel. Every Crocodile Dundee bowie knife here is forged from quality D2 or Damascus steel and ships with a handmade leather sheath. New to the style?

The Knife That Made the Line Famous
The Crocodile Dundee knife is one of the most recognizable movie blades ever made — a large clip-point bowie with a deep belly and a commanding presence, the kind of knife that settles an argument just by being drawn. Our Dundee-style replicas capture that look and feel while being genuinely handmade and fully functional. Whether you want it for display or for real outdoor use, these are tribute blades built by hand, not factory novelties. To read the full story behind the famous "that's not a knife" scene and the real bush knife that inspired it, see our blog: [BLOG: The Crocodile Dundee Knife Story].
Our Dundee Bowie Knife Builds
We offer the Dundee bowie in several handle and steel combinations, so you can pick the one that suits you:
- The Dundee Bowie Knife in D2 carbon steel with a bull horn handle — a classic, affordable take on the iconic profile.
- The Dundee-style D2 bowie with an acid-etched blade — for a rugged, weathered look.
- The Damascus Dundee bowie with bull horn and pakka wood handle — a collector-grade build with layered Damascus pattern work.
- The Crocodile Dundee knife replica in D2 steel with a black micarta handle and brass guard — our most detailed tribute to the original.
Steel and Construction
Our Dundee bowies are built from D2 tool steel or layered Damascus. D2 gives excellent edge retention and semi-stainless durability, ideal for a big working replica, while Damascus adds that striking forged pattern collectors love. Each knife is full tang, with the steel running the full length of the handle for the strength a blade this size demands. If you'd like to explore more, browse our full D2 Steel Bowie Knives and Damascus Bowie Knives collections.
A Collector's Piece and a Working Blade
Like the original Australian bush knife that inspired it, a Dundee bowie is equally at home on a collector's shelf or out in the field. The big clip-point profile handles real outdoor and hunting tasks, which is why it pairs naturally with our handmade hunting knives. For other legendary movie-and-history profiles, see our Rambo Bowie Knives and Western Bowie Knives, or the full Handmade Bowie Knives collection.
Why Buy Your Dundee Bowie From Malika Knives
Every Dundee-style bowie here is forged and finished by hand by us — Naqash and Younas Minhas — with more than 15 years of combined experience at the bench. We don't mass-produce. Each blade is ground, heat-treated, and fitted individually, then paired with a hand-stitched leather sheath. Read more about the two of us and how we work on our About page, and reach out any time if you'd like help choosing the right Dundee bowie.
