Common Questions About the Dundee Clip Point Bowie Knife
This Dundee Clip Point Bowie Knife from JW SteelCrafts is one of the most respected long-blade Bowie patterns ever made. It has a 12-inch clip point blade and a 5-inch coffin handle, giving it a 17-inch overall length that commands attention in any collection. This knife is available in two blade options: Damascus steel or high-polish carbon steel, so you can choose the finish that fits your style.The Dundee clip point profile is known for its long reach, sharp tip control, and strong cutting edge. This design originated from 19th-century frontier blades associated with Dundee makers in Scotland. It became popular during the American frontier period for its reliability and balance. If you are searching for a Dundee clip point Bowie knife for sale with authentic proportions and handmade quality, this knife is built to meet that standard.
Choose Your Blade Option
Option 1 — Damascus Steel:
The Damascus steel blade is hand forged through repeated folding and forge welding. This process creates a strong blade with a flowing layered pattern that is unique on every knife. No two Damascus blades look the same.
Option 2 — High Polish Carbon Steel:
The high-polish carbon steel blade has a clean, mirror finish that is smooth and reflective. It has strong edge retention and a sharp, refined look. This option is great for collectors who prefer a classic, uniform surface.
Both options share the same 12-inch Dundee clip point profile, 5-inch coffin handle, and 17-inch overall length.
The coffin handle follows traditional Dundee geometry. It gives you a solid, secure grip and keeps the knife balanced across its full 17-inch length. Metal fittings reinforce the guard and pommel for long-term strength. The handle shape reduces fatigue during extended use and maintains proper alignment through the full tang construction.
Each knife is handmade individually by JW SteelCrafts. Grinding, shaping, polishing, and handle fitting are all done by hand. The result is a long frontier Bowie knife built with clean symmetry and consistent finish quality.
