1.4116 Bowie Knife Blank - K23 (K23)

1.4116 Bowie Knife Blank - K23

A classic bowie profile with a long clip point: reach and a fine tip up front, and a belly that handles the heavy work.

X50CrMoV15 is the pragmatic stainless. Molybdenum and vanadium give wear resistance without brittleness, and maintenance is close to zero.

Certified Voestalpine steel, hand ground in our workshop, professionally heat treated by Voestalpine before it ships. That is the whole process.
