Frontier Bowie – Raw Forged Survival Knife

The Frontier Bowie is a bold, no-nonsense survival knife built in the spirit of the wilderness explorers and backwoodsmen of the 19th century. Hand-forged in Nepal using traditional techniques, this rugged blade features a raw forged finish with a thick spine and a straight profile—designed to withstand brutal use in unforgiving environments.

Crafted from 5160 high carbon steel recycled from truck leaf springs, the 12-inch blade is water-tempered on the edge for superior hardness and sharpened to a keen edge for chopping, carving, and splitting. The unpolished finish preserves the blade’s natural forging marks, giving it a distinctive, authentic look while enhancing its resilience in fieldwork.

The 5.5-inch full tang handle is made of natural bone, polished for comfort yet retaining a rustic feel. It is paired with a high-curved S-guard to protect your hand during intense use. The included scabbard is made from cottonwood wrapped in white buffalo leather, completing the classic frontier look.
