The Bear & Son Freedom Fighting Gold Rush Bowie Knife in Stag is a bold tribute to the grit and heritage of classic American blades. It’s more than just a fixed blade—it’s a statement piece built for those who appreciate timeless design, uncompromising craftsmanship, and practical power in the palm of their hand. Whether you’re adding to a collection or stepping out into the backcountry, this knife stands ready with purpose and pride.
At the heart of this commanding knife is a plain edge, 8-inch D2 tool steel blade. Known for its toughness and edge retention, D2 delivers the durability required for heavy-duty cutting tasks, whether you're clearing brush, dressing game, or just showing off its slicing capabilities. The clip point design enhances piercing ability and gives the blade a classic Bowie silhouette that pairs elegance with aggression. Finished in a clean satin polish, it captures the light beautifully and speaks to the quality that Bear & Son builds into every knife.
The full tang construction ensures this Bowie is as strong as it looks. From the tip of the blade to the pommel of the handle, strength runs uninterrupted. That strength is complemented by a handle made of genuine India stag bone, offering a natural texture and warm feel in hand. No two handles are exactly alike, giving each knife a unique character. Brass pins and a smoothly curved brass guard tie the design together, adding both aesthetic charm and functional hand protection. It’s a blend of rugged reliability and refined presentation that few knives manage to achieve.
Weighing 30.4 ounces and measuring 15 inches overall, the Gold Rush Bowie makes its presence known. It’s not designed to be shy—it’s a knife that commands respect. The lanyard hole at the base of the handle provides carry versatility and the ability to secure the knife in more demanding conditions. For protection and transport, it comes with a premium leather sheath featuring a D-ring for multiple carry options. Whether you wear it on your belt or strap it to your gear, the sheath offers style and security in equal measure.
To complete the experience, this knife arrives in a presentation box, making it a standout gift for collectors, hunters, or anyone who respects American knife craftsmanship. It’s not just built to perform—it’s built to impress.
