⚔ SUB-HILT BOWIE · FORGED D2 · FULL TANG · G10 HANDLE
A 9.25" Sub-Hilt Bowie Built for Field Work, Not Display
Large bowies usually land in one of two camps: soft display steel with a pretty finish, or a working blade with no attention paid to the handle. The sub-hilt bowie sits in neither. Hand-forged D2 tool steel, a full tang running the complete handle length, a machined G10 scale set, and a wet-moulded leather sheath make it a knife you can carry into a hunting camp and still hang on a wall between seasons.
What Sets Our Sub-Hilt Apart
- ✓ D2 tool steel at 58-60 HRC for lasting edge retention
- ✓ Full tang construction with a stainless steel guard
- ✓ G10 handle that shrugs off moisture and impact
- ✓ Handmade leather sheath, wet-moulded to this exact blade
🔪 D2 Blade
Nine and a quarter inches of D2 tool steel hardened to 58-60 HRC. D2 holds a working edge far longer than most stainless alloys, which matters when you are breaking down an animal or processing firewood without stopping to strop. The clip-point profile gives you a fine tip for detail work, while the belly carries enough mass for chopping. D2 is semi-stainless, so wipe the blade dry after use and it will serve for decades.
🛠 G10 Handle
G10 is what serious makers reach for when wood is not enough. Layered fibreglass laminate does not swell, crack, or rot in wet conditions, and the textured surface stays grippy with wet or gloved hands. Full tang steel runs the entire 5.5-inch handle, and the sub-hilt gives your index finger a positive stop during heavy cuts. Balance sits just ahead of the guard, so the blade does the work rather than your wrist. Compare it against the rest of our handmade bowie knives if you are still choosing a size.
📦 Fitted Leather Sheath
Each sheath is cut, stitched, and wet-moulded by hand to fit one blade. Retention comes from the moulding itself, so the knife sits tight without rattling and draws clean. Belt loop is sized for standard field belts, and the leather darkens with age the way good leather should.
