Bowie Knife Blanks

Bowie knife blanks give you a ready-shaped Bowie blade to finish with your own handle, guard and edge work. The Bowie blank in this collection is a 50-piece Damascus steel lot. Each blank is 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch blade and a 5-inch handle section, sized for workshops and makers planning repeat builds. Check the lot details below, or browse the full knife blanks range for other profiles and steels.

The 50-Piece Damascus Bowie Blank Lot

The 50-piece Damascus Bowie knife blanks lot is built for volume. Every blank shares the same layout: 12 inches overall, a 7-inch Bowie blade and a 5-inch handle section. At $649.99 for the lot, each blank works out to about $13. That makes the lot practical for production batches, knife-making classes, or a shop that finishes and sells Bowies under its own name.

Because the blanks are Damascus steel, the layered pattern becomes part of the finished knife. Expect the pattern to differ from one blank to the next. That variation is normal for patterned steel and is a big part of why makers choose it over plain stock.

What Comes With Each Blank

You receive the blade blank only. Handle scales, guards, pins and sheaths are not included, so plan and order those materials separately. The 5-inch handle section is where your grip takes shape. Wood, stag, bone and Micarta are all common choices for Bowie builds, and a 50-piece lot lets you try several handle styles on the same blade.

The listing doesn't yet state tang style, blade thickness, pin-hole layout, heat-treatment status or edge condition. If you're buying scales and pins in bulk to match, ask us to confirm those details before you order, so your hardware fits the tang the first time.

Bulk, Custom and Wholesale Orders

If 50 pieces is more or fewer than you need, the product page has a bulk enquiry option for custom quantities and maker pricing. The same applies if you want a Bowie blank in a different steel or size. Shops and resellers can also send quantity, steel and dimension requirements through our wholesale knives page.

Storing Damascus Blanks Before Finishing

A bulk lot often sits in the shop for weeks between builds, so storage matters. Keep the blanks dry and wipe off fingerprints after handling. Give stored pieces a light coat of mineral or camellia oil until you're ready to grind, fit and finish them.

Other Blank Profiles and Finished Bowies

Need a different shape? Our hunting knife blanks cover drop point, spear point and bushcraft-style lots in high carbon steel, 1095, 440C and Damascus. The Damascus knife blanks collection groups every patterned-steel profile, including seax and hunting lots.

FAQs

FAQ About Bowie Knife Blanks

What is a Bowie knife blank?

A Bowie knife blank is a blade already cut to a Bowie profile but not yet finished as a knife. You add the handle, guard and any final grinding, polishing or sharpening yourself, which lets you build a custom Bowie without shaping it from raw bar stock.

What size are the Bowie blanks in this collection?

Each blank in the 50-piece Damascus lot measures 12 inches overall, with a 7-inch blade and a 5-inch handle section. All 50 pieces share the same Bowie layout, which helps when you're making matching handles in batches.

Are the blanks heat treated and sharpened?

The current listing doesn't state heat-treatment status or edge condition. Contact us before ordering if your build depends on either, so you know exactly what stage the blades arrive at.

Does a Bowie knife blank come with a handle or guard?

No. Handle scales, guards, pins and sheaths are not included unless a listing says otherwise. That's the point of a blank: you choose and fit those parts to suit your own design.

Can I order a different quantity or steel?

Yes. Custom quantities, maker pricing and wholesale options are available through the bulk enquiry on the product page or our wholesale page. Send the quantity, steel and dimensions you need for a quote.
