The Damascus Push Tang 5.5in Bowie Blade Blank is built for serious knife makers who demand both craftsmanship and performance. Forged from high-quality Damascus steel, this blade blank showcases a striking pattern that’s as rugged as it is refined. Each layer of the steel has been folded and forged to create a unique flow of light and dark lines that give the blade its unmistakable character. Beyond its beauty, Damascus steel is known for its strength, edge retention, and resistance to wear, making it an ideal choice for a custom knife that’s meant to last.
This 5.5-inch clip point blade features a classic Bowie profile—sharp, balanced, and ready for precision work. The clip point design provides excellent control for detail cuts while maintaining the power and penetration that Bowies are famous for.
