The American Hunter 16.5" Bowie Knife carries the bold spirit of the frontier with a design built for hard outdoor use and striking visual appeal. Large, capable, and ready for serious work, this knife reflects the time-tested Bowie pattern that’s long been favored by hunters, outdoorsmen, and collectors who appreciate dependable cutting power.
Its 10.75" stainless steel blade features a clean satin finish and the sweeping profile Bowie knives are known for. The long blade provides impressive reach and cutting performance, making it well suited for demanding outdoor tasks such as field processing, campsite prep, and general utility work. Stainless steel construction gives it solid corrosion resistance while maintaining the toughness needed for repeated use in rugged environments.
The knife’s full tang build runs the entire length of the handle, giving it exceptional strength and balance in the hand. A sturdy brass guard adds a classic touch while protecting your hand during heavy cutting or thrusting tasks, keeping your grip secure when it matters most.
The handle combines natural wood with a vivid turquoise color wash, creating a striking contrast that sets this Bowie apart from more traditional designs. The smooth wood offers a comfortable, natural grip, with a colorful accent that bring bold pop and a distinctive southwestern flair. The result is a knife that feels just as impressive in the hand as it looks on display.
A black nylon belt sheath is included for safe storage and easy carry, keeping the blade protected and ready for the next outing.
