For the craftsman ready to take on a bold project, the Carbon Steel Bowie Blade Blank offers a rugged and impressive foundation. Whether you're a seasoned maker or a passionate beginner, this fixed blade blank delivers the size, structure, and style needed to build a commanding knife worthy of your collection.

At the core of this build is an 11-inch carbon steel blade featuring the unmistakable clip-point profile that made the Bowie knife iconic. This blade offers a sweeping edge with a sharp, tapered point—perfect for slicing, piercing, and heavy-duty tasks. While the exact grade of carbon steel isn’t always specified, it’s typically referred to as spring steel, well-regarded for its durability, edge retention, and ease of sharpening. The factory edge is workable, but knifemakers will appreciate the opportunity to fine-tune it into a razor-sharp, custom edge tailored to their standards.

Measuring 16.5 inches in total length, the Bowie Blade Blank has a powerful presence. Its extended blade offers a generous canvas for creativity, whether you're aiming for a backwoods survival knife or a detailed collector’s piece. The push tang design simplifies the handle-making process, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned craftsmen. This tang style offers solid balance and strength while allowing flexibility in handle shaping and materials.

The blank includes a polished brass guard—more than just a nod to traditional knife design. It brings a timeless aesthetic while adding safety and stability, acting as a secure foundation around which to build a custom handle. The brass’s golden hue contrasts beautifully with the raw steel of the blade, creating a refined yet rugged look even before the handle is attached.

This blank isn’t just a tool; it’s a project—an invitation to bring your craftsmanship to life. Whether you plan to keep it in the field, showcase it on your wall, or gift it to someone who appreciates quality handmade gear, the Carbon Steel Bowie Blade Blank provides the strength and style to make a lasting impression.
