The History Behind This Blade

The clip point Bowie has been the classic American hunting and frontier blade since the 1800s, valued for a deep slicing belly and a fine, controlled tip. Custom makers in the American Southwest gave the design its decorative edge, stacking turquoise, brass, and steel spacers into the handle for color and contrast — turquoise being the signature stone of the region. A brass guard protected the hand, and a steel pommel capped and balanced the blade. The JW Steel Crafts turquoise-accent Bowie brings that Southwestern frontier craft into every forged blade.

Blade Performance

The blade is forged from carbon steel and finished to a bright mirror polish. Carbon steel takes a keener edge than standard stainless and holds it longer through repeated hunting and outdoor use. At 9 inches, the clip point gives you a deep belly for long skinning and slicing strokes and a fine, controlled tip for detail work. The concave clip keeps the point sharp without losing blade depth. Full tang construction runs through the handle and spreads weight evenly for stable, controlled cutting.

Handle, Guard and Pommel

The handle is built from a black body stacked with turquoise spacer rings and brass spacers for a layered Southwestern look. A brass guard sits between the blade and handle, protecting the hand and giving a secure stop during cutting. A steel pommel caps the base, adding rear weight that balances the long blade. Turquoise and brass resist moisture and hold their color, while the stacked spacers give every knife a distinct decorative profile from guard to pommel.
