The Szco 5" Damascus Steel Bowie Blade Blank offers a rugged platform for builders, collectors, and craftsmen who want a blade with character, durability, and unmistakable presence. This blank arrives ready for your custom handle work, giving you full control over the final fit and finish while still delivering a premium blade forged with time-tested techniques. Whether you're building a field-ready knife or shaping a showpiece for your collection, this blade blank provides a strong foundation with reliable capability.

At the heart of the design is its 5" Damascus steel drop point blade, crafted through the layered folding and forging process that Damascus is known for. The result is a striking blend of strength and visual appeal, with the signature wave-like pattern running the length of the steel. Slightly sharpened edges give you a head start on finishing the edge to your preferred sharpness, and the blade geometry offers dependable performance for general-purpose cutting, outdoor use, or display.

The full-tang construction adds durability and balance, ensuring the blade can withstand real work once completed. At 10" overall and weighing 9.38 oz, this blank brings a substantial feel that suits both heavy-duty tasks and refined craftsmanship. The tang is shaped for secure handle attachment, giving you freedom to build with wood, bone, micarta, antler, or any material that matches your vision. This versatility makes the blade blank ideal for custom makers or anyone wanting to refine their skills in knife building.

Though a sheath isn’t included, the blank’s traditional Bowie profile makes it compatible with a wide range of custom sheath styles. Whether you're planning a rugged leather sheath or something more decorative, the blade’s proportions and drop point shape offer plenty of flexibility for custom fitting.

The 5" Damascus Steel Bowie Blade Blank is built for those who value craftsmanship, durability, and the satisfaction of creating something unique. Its rugged steel pattern, reliable full-tang build, and ready-to-finish design make it a standout starting point for your next custom knife project.
