Classic Bowie styling, premium stainless steel construction, and endless customization potential come together in the HT Boot Bowie Knife Kit Series. Designed for makers who appreciate traditional knife profiles in a compact, concealable package, this hidden tang platform delivers a rewarding build experience and a finished knife that looks as impressive as it performs.
At the heart of every HT Boot Bowie kit is a 5.75-inch hollow-ground blade crafted from heat-treated 440C stainless steel. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance, edge retention, and durability, 440C has long been a favorite among custom knife makers. The blade features a clean satin finish and a proven Bowie-inspired profile with a reinforced tip suitable for utility, collection, display, or light field use.
The hidden tang design is engineered for slip-over handle construction, allowing makers to create elegant, seamless handle assemblies using premium hardwoods, bone, antler, or other custom materials. Three pre-drilled tang holes provide multiple handle attachment options, while the included pinstock simplifies the assembly process. Builders can choose between traditional brass hardware for a classic appearance or stainless steel hardware for a more modern look.
Available in blade-only configurations or complete kits with premium handle blocks, the HT Boot Bowie Series offers multiple options to match your preferred style. Handle block kits include Black Limba, Bloodwood, or Katalox, each selected for its unique grain patterns, color, and finishing characteristics.
Whether you're a first-time knife maker looking for an approachable hidden tang project or an experienced craftsman seeking a compact Bowie platform for customization, the HT Boot Bowie delivers outstanding value, proven materials, and timeless design.
Build a custom Bowie knife with the timeless appeal of a hidden tang design and the proven performance of 440C stainless steel. The HT Boot Bowie Series offers premium materials, flexible hardware options, and a straightforward path to creating a knife that's uniquely your own.
