15″ Hand‑Forged Seax‑Style Bushcraft Bowie Knife — 5160 Carbon Spring Steel Kukri knife

15″ Seax‑Style Bushcraft Knife

Perfect for daily tasks, outdoor use, or as a heritage gift.

This 15-inch hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon truck leaf spring steel, this blade combines traditional nepali craftsmanship with modern bushcraft functionality. Heat-treated for hardiness and sharpness, the blade is optimized for impact, chopping, carving, and general outdoor utility.  It is fundamentally a heavy-duty outdoor tool, explicitly prioritizing brute force, extreme durability, and impact resistance over fine precision. The selection of 5160 leaf spring steel is exceptionally well-suited for its intended role as a robust chopper and survival workhorse, given the steel's renowned toughness and flexibility. 

This knife is highly suitable for demanding applications such as heavy bushcraft, wilderness survival, and tasks requiring significant chopping or batoning. It can effectively serve as a primary tool for shelter building, processing large amounts of firewood, and field dressing medium to large game. Its robust construction and ease of field sharpening make it a reliable companion in challenging outdoor environments. However, its considerable size will inherently limit its utility for intricate carving, delicate food preparation, or situations demanding a compact, agile blade.
