Stretching 17 inches overall, it commands immediate attention with a striking copper Damascus blade featuring a warm, layered pattern that is entirely unique to each hand-forged piece.

The Loveless-style sub-hilt form is one of the most respected designs in American custom knifemaking, and owning one in copper Damascus means you're holding a piece of that heritage with a bold, modern aesthetic twist. Every blade that leaves the JW SteelCrafts workshop is individually hand-forged, so the copper-toned layered pattern you see is yours alone - no two are ever the same. Whether it's displayed on a wall, housed in a collection cabinet, or given as an unforgettable gift, this knife draws attention and holds it. Serious collectors, Damascus fans, and Bowie enthusiasts will appreciate the craftsmanship, scale, and history wrapped into every inch of this piece. If you're looking for a showstopper that means something, this is it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCopper Damascus steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSub-hilt fighter Bowie (Loveless-style)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGuard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecondary sub-hilt guard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConstruction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-forged, full tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePattern\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLayered copper Damascus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay, collection, gifting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJW SteelCrafts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShips From\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandcrafting Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-7 days\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEstimated Shipping Window\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-10 days from order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is a sub-hilt Bowie knife?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eA sub-hilt Bowie features a second, smaller guard positioned in front of the main guard.
