Handforged D2 Steel Bowie Knife Rosewood Handle

Forged Blade Construction

This handforged Bowie knife features a 9 inch D2 steel blade shaped through controlled forging and grinding. The forging process refines the blade’s surface and supports consistent edge geometry.

At 14 inches overall, the knife maintains extended reach with steady balance.

The spine measures approximately 5mm, contributing to structural rigidity along the blade length.

D2 High Carbon Tool Steel

D2 tool steel offers strong edge retention and wear resistance when maintained correctly. The 8 inch cutting edge follows a clean bevel transition designed for controlled slicing and general utility cutting.

Natural Rosewood Handle

The handle uses polished rosewood scales secured to a full tang core. Rosewood provides visible grain character and smooth contouring.

Each handle shows natural variation in wood tone and pattern.

Full Tang Framework

The steel extends through the entire handle, forming a continuous full tang build. This structure supports alignment and durability from blade tip to pommel.

Custom Leather Sheath

Each knife includes a fitted leather sheath shaped to the blade profile. Reinforced stitching protects the edge during storage and transport.
