Australian Heritage Army Bowie Pattern

Every knife is 100% handmade. Every part of it is made by hand, not mass produced, not machine perfect. Variations in finish, lines, and shape are normal and part of the character of a genuine handmade knife. BTK knives are my designs, handmade to my specs and hand finished in Australia with a dull working polish, built for use.

Intended Use:
This knife is designed for lawful hunting, camping and bush use only. It is not intended for combat or unlawful activity. Buyers are responsible for complying with their local laws.

This is my take on a World War II Australian Army Bowie.

I chose this pattern because it’s a proper field knife. Strong blade, solid guard and enough length to handle real work without being oversized.

The blade is 25cm of 1095 high carbon steel, built tough and made to hold a sharp edge. It’s sharpened on one side with a strong spine, keeping it practical and durable.

The handle is 13cm with a steel guard, giving you solid hand protection and a secure grip. It feels balanced and natural in the hand.

Total weight is 635g including the sheath, so it has good presence without being too heavy to carry.

It comes with a 100% genuine leather sheath to suit the blade properly.

NOTE: Sheath colour may differ from the picture depending on available dyes at the time of production.

Steel Care:
This knife is made from 1095 high carbon steel. That means it’s tough and holds a great edge, but like all high carbon steels, it needs basic maintenance. Keep it lightly oiled to prevent rust. After use — especially after hunting or being outdoors — wipe it down and give it a light spray of WD-40 or another quality oil. A quick wipe with an oiled rag every now and then will keep it in good condition.

This is a historic military design made as a working blade.

Simple. Solid. Built properly.
