Trench Bowie – Custom Combat Elegance

Commanding in both presence and performance, the Trench Bowie is a bold fusion of historic trench warfare design and modern craftsmanship. Measuring a formidable 16 inches from tip to hilt, this custom piece was built for a private collection—and built to be unforgettable.

The 11-inch blade is hand-forged from 5160 high-carbon steel, featuring dual fullers that reduce weight while adding visual depth and balance. Its polished edge gleams with readiness, hinting at the strength within.

A standout feature is the solid brass knuckle guard—cast as a single piece for integrity and impact—paired with a hardened carbon steel glass breaker at the pommel. The grip is finished with rich wenge wood scales, dark and dramatic, offering both durability and a refined aesthetic.

To complete the ensemble, a hand-tooled leather sheath—crafted and stitched by me—provides both protection and style. Designed to hang at a canted angle, it ensures a natural, fluid draw every time.

This knife doesn’t just sit on display—it tells a story of grit, skill, and craftsmanship.
