Ultra Line Knives Series

What is a bowie knife best for? Camp and field work - batoning, clearing, dressing large game - and historically as a fighting knife. The clip point gives you a fine tip for detail work behind a heavy belly for chopping.

How should I care for a Damascus bowie? Wipe the blade dry after use, apply a light coat of mineral or gun oil, and store it out of the sheath for long periods so trapped moisture does not etch the steel.

Is a sheath included? Yes - each Ultra Line bowie ships in a hand-tooled leather sheath cut and stitched for that specific blade, with a certificate of authenticity.

Sheath, presentation and what arrives

Every Ultra Line fixed blade ships with a hand-stitched leather sheath included, cut and wet-formed to that specific bowie rather than a stock size. Full-grain cowhide, waxed saddle stitch, welted edge, belt loop sized for a 1.5 inch belt. Because these are the display-grade pieces, the sheath is finished to match: burnished edges, no raw cuts, and the same attention the blade got.

The knife arrives in a presentation box with a certificate of authenticity, care instructions and the sheath. Optional engraving is available before checkout as a paid add-on if this is going to somebody as a gift.

Does an Ultra Line knife come with a leather sheath? Yes. A hand-stitched, wet-formed full-grain leather sheath is included with every fixed blade in the series, finished with burnished edges to match the knife.

What else is in the box? A presentation box, a certificate of authenticity, care instructions and the sheath. Engraving is a paid add-on if you want it personalised.

Is the Ultra Line series display only or can I use it? Use it. These are finished to a higher standard, not built to a softer one. Same heat treat, same steel, better hand work.
