Damascus Bowie Knife with Leather Wrapped Handle and Brass Guard

Wrapping a handle in leather changes both its grip and its look, giving a knife a rugged, worn-in character right out of the box. This bowie knife combines that leather-wrapped handle with a brass guard and a substantial Damascus blade.

This bowie knife uses a wood handle core wrapped in leather, creating a grip that feels different from smooth wood, bone, or synthetic handles found on other fixed blade knives. The leather wrap also adds a rugged, well-worn visual character that suits the knife's overall Western and outdoor-inspired design.

A brass guard separates the blade from the handle, protecting the hand during use and echoing a detail found on many traditional bowie knives. The included leather sheath continues the material theme established by the handle wrap, rounding out a knife built for both genuine outdoor use and display among collectors who appreciate leatherwork alongside forged steel.
