1084 / 15N20 San-Mai Recurve Bowie — 55–60 HRC
Blade
San-Mai laminated construction: 1084 high-carbon core clad with 15N20 stainless-facing layers for striking contrast and excellent edge retention.
Recurve Bowie profile with clipped point for versatile piercing, a pronounced belly for chopping and slicing, and a subtle recurve that enhances cutting power.
Heat treated and cryogenically stabilized to 55–60 HRC for a hard, durable edge that still resists brittle failure under heavy use.
Full-length distal taper and precise geometry for a thin, keen edge without sacrificing spine strength.
Blade finish options: hand-sanded satin or stonewashed (specify preference at order).
Handle
Locally harvested black walnut scales, stabilized and hand-contoured for a comfortable, secure grip.
Subtle ergonomic shaping with a guard flare and rear swell to maintain purchase during thrusts and draws.
Matte oil finish to highlight grain while resisting moisture and wear.
Tang & Construction
Hidden tang construction for clean lines and unobstructed hand placement.
Full-strength epoxy join with peened tang; built for service while maintaining an elegant profile.
