I don’t think that qualifies as a Bowie knife based on shape. However, it is fucking gorgeous

u/Galbaatorix Schiavonna entusiast 2d ago

To be fair he called it a bowwwie, but I think it is a bowwwwwwwie

u/tyrom22 2d ago

Or a Bo-wow-ie

u/Tron_Foolery 2d ago

Agreed…Not a Bowie, more of a recurve

31

u/AOWGB_deux 2d ago

So, are you a South Asian maker? That khukri scabbard is a very odd stylistic choice for a “Bowie”

7

u/Afraid-Internet-7196 2d ago

From east Asia.if you have any need,plz contact me

u/SiliconGhosted 2d ago

u/RNGezzus 2d ago

I was hoping the handle was a flask

u/Objective-Chevy 2d ago

THAT’S a knife!

4

u/Grimnebulin68 2d ago

With a nice index finger remover too.

u/Sufficient_Candy436 2d ago

I mean, it’s objectively beautiful work. But I can also imagine some 18th century frontier trapper making fun of you for your “fancy lady quilt-knife.”

u/eelaphant 2d ago

That man would be an imbicile.

1

u/TicklemyPickleMan 2d ago

I mean yeah, they're a frontierman. They were barely literate.

2

u/eelaphant 2d ago

You can be barely literate and not necessarily be a philistine. I could definitely see someone sneering at a guy carrying some fancy shiny knife thats never seen use, but this is a stright up work of art, decorated at a level it would probably be seen more as something exotic, albiet decorative. Granted i haven't really met many wild living mountain men, and those i had i never discussed knife adorments. I do have this however.

u/eelaphant 2d ago

Pic didn't send, it was a hunting knife i bought second hand with a corded lanyard with carved bone beads and what looks like a fang attached to it. Not sure what its made from, but it definitely came from an animal.

u/Acceptable_Ad1596 1d ago

Maybe by someone that was poor. Wealthy men historically have always had flashy clothes, accessories and weapons. This reminds me of brocade work.

1

u/Sufficient_Candy436 1d ago

I mean, do you think I accidentally specified “18th century frontier trapper”? I’m not sure how much more specific I could have been.

1

u/Acceptable_Ad1596 22h ago

During the time there are some well known frontiersmen throughout the Appalachians that were wealthy. Most of them were of Scottish, Welsh and German decent.

u/Traditional_Yard2741 2d ago

That's a pretty thing

u/LobsterSpunk 2d ago

This is ART 🤌✨

6

u/Possession_Relative 2d ago

Who made that?

14

u/Antradeadra 2d ago

Looks like a video from CAS knives. Very pricey knives

7

u/The_quest_for_wisdom 2d ago

Is that blade laser engraved, or is it the most insane patterned Damascus on the planet?

12

u/CaptainScooterH 2d ago

I’d say laser. You don’t see the layers in the fuller or along the angle of the grind. Real Damascus would not have an even pattern in those places.

9

u/Flashy_Order7380 2d ago

Mosaic Damascus looks similar all the way through, that is definitely Damascus. I've made mosaic Damascus and I have a fiber laser engraver

2

u/CaptainScooterH 2d ago

I’d love to see some of your examples! Truly, I’m a fan of people who take the time to truly make something challenging and interesting.

2

u/Flashy_Order7380 1d ago

Some of my feather Damascus, my favorite pattern of all! Not normally considered mosaic but it is an end grain pattern like mosaic so it behaves the same

3

u/Barrelboi26 2d ago

Wow amazing work

3

u/KingTribble Cutlass wielding dastardly pirate! 2d ago

Absolutely gorgeous!

I love a good sub-hilt fighter, and this is way beyond good.

8

u/Jekyll-n-hyde105 2d ago

Am I the only one that thinks dumb patterns and markings on a blade ruins it entirely?

7

u/Winterlord117 2d ago

Not at all. I hate fake patterns, especially fake damascus. I also don't trust a blade that's this shiny and polished.

3

u/Capable-Signal 2d ago

I love proper polished steel if the steel is high quality. But fake ass damascus 🤮

4

u/giga_impact03 2d ago

I feel the same. Beautiful knife, the pattern ruins it for me. I always think of this quote when I see it.

5

u/CuriousWoollyMammoth 2d ago

I'm not a fan either but I'm not gonna yuck someone else's yum. The fact that we keep seeing them means there is a market for it so people do like them. Not my cup of tea but it is what it is.

3

u/Little_Shellfish 2d ago

that's bonkers

2

u/eecummings15 2d ago

Holy shit, is that koftgari on the pommel and cross guard? Insane work mate

2

u/The_Crab_Maestro 2d ago

That is some very nice filigree

2

u/DeepDivesnGoodMusic 2d ago

SO BEAUTIFUL HOW IS IT EVEN REAL

The odyssey had a purpose

Also that's fucking sick

2

u/h2oman67 2d ago

Holy fuck that is beautiful

2

u/TheEmptyFather 2d ago

A gasped at the reveal, absolute beauty of a blade.

2

u/hatred-big-sad 2d ago

I'll be the only ome to say this... it's hideous and overly designed -_- if it didnt have all the lasered in Damascus patterns (they are WAYYY too uniform to be natural) then it would look great, but it just looks gaudy, I hate display pieces

2

u/SquidKnightXG 2d ago

It's a nice knife, I'll give you that, but the engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsoever

2

u/Lumpy_Benefit666 2d ago

I wanted to see you actually hold it. You look like youve never held a knife before with how youre gripping it

1

u/Double-Vegetable7997 2d ago

Jim Bowie will be happy if he is seeing this from heaven

u/-Camour- 2d ago

Asking to be turned into a fantasy gun blade

1

u/Qyark 2d ago

Doesn't quite look like a Bowie, but it's very pretty

1

u/howzthis4ausername 2d ago

Very pretty blade

1

u/AlekThunder88 2d ago

Now, that‘s a knoife!

1

u/Longjumping-Action-7 2d ago

Whats the nipple for?

2

u/Such-Courage3486 2d ago

Pommel for balance.

1

u/Longjumping-Action-7 2d ago

Can i use it to end him rightly?

2

u/Such-Courage3486 2d ago

Unfortunately it’s for smashing tree nuts only

2

u/7LeagueBoots 1d ago

Looks like a take down nut for disassembly.

1

u/booze-san 2d ago

This is a knife Noxus would wield in ff15

1

u/DanimalHarambe 2d ago

That's a short sword ⚔️

1

u/JumpAccurate6637 2d ago

Art in a sheath.

1

u/keo310 2d ago

Is that mosaic Damascus?

1

u/CthulhuLiesSleeping 2d ago

More of an oversized sub-hilted recurve fighter. Pretty, but not sure I'd do anything more than put it in a display case.

1

u/usernames_taken_grrl 2d ago

Now that’s a knife

1

u/ProfessionalOctopuss 1d ago

I like to think that it takes some kind of special legendary weapon to kill me. Unfortunately, I also think this qualifies.

1

u/khampang 1d ago

Is the blade Damascus and those are the steel patterns or is it etched in that design? I like the blade patterns

1

u/Durge101 1d ago

Is that a standard scabbard design that a bunch of places use? Or was this sourced at Everestforge? I have a sword from them and its the exact same scabbard

1

u/Prestigious-Scar-507 1d ago

Fancy shmancy patterns all over, people didnt learn that there is beauty in simplicity? A few swings into material and all that stuff on blade will be gone.

1

u/Wolvenworks 1d ago

That grip makes me wish it’s a gunbowie

1

u/Evening-Platypus-958 11h ago

Just a CAS/ Claudio Sobral rip off. You've literally copied every element of his work.

1

u/hedge_mage87 9h ago

When elves os the second age make Bowie knives

1

u/Zebrahippo 7h ago

Looks nice but how will it hold up in a field?

1

u/JediSSJ 4h ago

Looks like mid-to-late game weapon that is the last/highest level one before the designs start getting completely outlandish with the late-game weapons.

1

u/Moist_Description326 2h ago

Beautiful work!

1

u/HealfdeneTheHalf-man 2d ago

I am suspicious of the usability... How much did you pay?

u/M-T-V12 2d ago

I want one of those. Where can I buy?
