Built for makers who appreciate large, traditional Bowie knives with serious field capability, the HT Saddle Bowie Knife Kit Series combines classic styling, rugged stainless steel performance, and extensive customization potential. Designed around a substantial camp-sized blade, this hidden tang platform is ideal for creating a custom hunting knife, camp knife, survival knife, or heirloom-quality display piece.
At the core of every HT Saddle Bowie kit is a 7.875-inch blade crafted from heat-treated 440C stainless steel. Known for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and edge retention, 440C has earned its reputation as a trusted blade steel among custom knife makers. Each blade features a hollow-ground cutting edge, a clean satin finish, and a proven Bowie-style profile with a reinforced survival-tested tip capable of handling demanding cutting tasks.
The hidden tang construction is designed for slip-over handle installation, allowing makers to create seamless custom handles from stag antler, exotic hardwoods, bone, or other premium materials. Three precision-drilled tang holes provide secure attachment options, while included pinstock simplifies the assembly process. Builders can choose between traditional brass hardware for a timeless appearance or engravable 416 stainless steel hardware for a more contemporary look.
Available as blade-only kits or complete handle block packages, the HT Saddle Bowie Series offers multiple options for builders of all experience levels. Complete kits include premium Black Limba, Bloodwood, or Katalox handle blocks, giving craftsmen a head start toward creating a truly custom knife.
Whether you're building your first hidden tang knife or adding another custom Bowie to your collection, the HT Saddle Bowie delivers proven materials, classic design, and a rewarding workshop experience from start to finish.
The HT Saddle Bowie Series delivers the size, strength, and classic styling that have made Bowie knives legendary. Combining premium 440C stainless steel, quality hardware options, and customizable handle configurations, this series provides everything needed to create a custom camp knife that will look impressive and perform reliably for years to come.
