11 inch Hand-Forged Bowie Bushcraft Knife | 5160 Leaf Spring Steel, Full Tang

Built for the demands of the wilderness, this 11-inch hand-forged Bowie knife is engineered from reclaimed truck leaf springs. Featuring a full tang construction and traditional balance water tempering, this blade delivers exceptional toughness and edge retention for the most demanding bushcraft and survival tasks. It arrives with a razor-sharp edge, ready to use right out of the box.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Forged from 5160 Leaf Spring Steel: Renowned for its superior shock resistance and toughness, this steel can withstand heavy batoning and chopping without chipping, making it ideal for processing firewood.
  • Full Tang Construction: The steel extends the full length of the handle, providing unmatched strength and durability for heavy-duty use, a critical feature for a serious bushcraft knife.
  • Balance Water Tempering: Our traditional tempering process creates a blade with a hard, sharp edge (RC 58-60) supported by a softer, more flexible spine (RC 22-25). This differential heat treatment prevents breaking under stress.
  • Premium Water Buffalo Leather Sheath: The sheath features a pinewood liner to protect the stitching from the sharp blade, ensuring safe carry and long-lasting durability.
