Custom Bowie · Available for enquiry
Padauk Bowie
A handmade outdoor Bowie knife with full-tang construction and a Padauk wood handle.


About this knife
The Custom Bowie is inspired by one of the most recognisable knife profiles in history.
Although the Bowie shape has a strong historical association with fighting knives, Dark Blades versions are designed primarily as practical outdoor tools. Depending on the individual build, they can be suitable for camping, hunting, bushcraft, food preparation and general field work.
Custom Bowie knives can vary considerably in size and construction. They may be large or compact, full tang or hidden tang, and fitted with carefully selected wood or antler handles. The characteristic clipped point and strong blade profile remain, while every finished knife receives its own proportions and personality.
