Rifleman’s Bowie – Hand-Forged Military Frontier Blade

The Rifleman’s Bowie is a powerful, long-field blade inspired by the knives carried by 19th-century scouts, sharpshooters, and mounted riflemen. Designed for utility, survival, and combat readiness, this striking Bowie-style knife blends historical influence with rugged performance. It’s a tribute to the warriors who navigated untamed landscapes and held the line with grit and steel.

Hand-forged in Nepal by expert blacksmiths, the Rifleman’s Bowie features a long, spear-point blade with a defined fuller running along its length. Crafted from high carbon steel and water-tempered for edge durability, this blade excels at chopping, slicing, and thrusting. The balanced profile allows for control despite its size, making it a functional weapon and a commanding survival tool.

The 5.5-inch full tang handle is made from richly grained rosewood, shaped for comfort and secured with rivets. A solid brass crossguard provides protection in forward motion, enhancing both grip and visual impact. The included leather scabbard is reinforced and built for belt carry, making the Rifleman’s Bowie a dependable companion in the field or on display.
