Classic 'Monster' Bowie

Massive. Like the original this knife is designed first and foremost for combat. The Bowie knife design also lends itself to use as a hunting knife for skinning or butchering large game. This one is almost an exact replica of the iconic Crocodile Dundee knife; fullered blade with clip point profile, shape of pommel and guard, and stacked grip.

A stacked leather knife handle is a traditional and aesthetically pleasing choice for knife enthusiasts and craftsmen alike. Crafted by layering thin leather discs onto the tang of the knife, this handle style not only exudes a timeless elegance but also offers practical advantages.
One of the key benefits of a stacked leather handle is its exceptional grip and comfort. The layers of leather provide a soft yet firm feel in the hand, ensuring a secure hold even in wet or slippery conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for hunting and outdoor knives, where a reliable grip can be a matter of safety.
Additionally, the natural texture and variations in leather give each stacked leather handle a unique appearance. Over time, the leather can develop a beautiful patina, enhancing its character and charm. This aging process adds a personal touch to the knife, making it an heirloom piece for generations to come.
