This Gil Custom Copper Back Bowie is a bold, one-of-a-kind piece built with both striking craftsmanship and brute strength. At 14.5 inches overall and weighing nearly 30 ounces, it’s a formidable blade designed to impress as much as it performs. The 10-inch clip point blade boasts a mirror satin finish that highlights the clean lines and elegant grind of this custom knife. Crafted from thick steel at .32 inches, the blade offers impressive heft and cutting power, whether you're using it as a heavy-duty field knife or showcasing it as a collector’s centerpiece.
The full tang construction ensures maximum durability and balance, while the custom hardwood handle brings both beauty and ergonomic function. Warm, rich wood grain pairs with the standout feature of this build—its copper hardware. From the spine and tang to the pins, every copper detail adds an unmistakable vintage character and a visual pop that sets this knife apart from the usual fare. The engraved "Gil" marking on the blade gives it a personal, signature touch that reinforces its custom, hand-built nature.
Though the blade shows light surface scratches typical of handling or display, it's in great overall condition with no structural flaws or edge damage. It’s ready for use or display, depending on your needs. This is a unique opportunity to own a one-off custom Bowie with standout materials and hand-finished details you won’t find anywhere else.
