Brass Ridge Damascus Bowie Knife – Ash Wood Handle & Red Sheath

The Brass Ridge Damascus Bowie Knife – Ash Wood Handle & Red Sheath combines flowing patterned steel with natural wood, engraved fittings, and richly colored leatherwork. Measuring approximately 15 inches overall, this handcrafted fixed-blade knife features a substantial 10-inch Damascus steel blade, a smooth ash wood handle, decorative brass-colored fittings, and a hand-tooled red leather belt sheath.

Patterned Damascus steel blade

The Brass Ridge Bowie is centered around a large Damascus steel blade displaying layered waves and flowing lines across its surface. These contrasting patterns extend from the point through the ricasso, giving the blade a distinctive handcrafted appearance.

Damascus patterns naturally vary during production. The precise lines, swirls, and contrast on each finished blade may therefore differ from the example shown in the photograph. These variations help ensure that every Brass Ridge Bowie has its own visual character.

The broad blade provides a generous surface for the layered pattern to remain clearly visible. This makes the knife particularly appealing to Bowie collectors and buyers who appreciate traditional patterned steel.

Long clip-point Bowie profile

The 10-inch blade has an elongated clip-point profile with a defined point and gently curved cutting edge. Its proportions create a classic collector-style Bowie silhouette while maintaining a clean, balanced appearance.

Decorative holes run along the spine near the ricasso. A diagonal cut detail adds another visual element to the upper blade section. These features contribute to the handcrafted presentation without hiding the Damascus pattern.

A defined ricasso creates a smooth transition into the guard. At approximately 15 inches overall, the Brass Ridge has an impressive size suited to collectors who prefer large fixed-blade designs.

Engraved brass-colored guard

A decorative double guard separates the blade from the handle. Its brass-colored surface features geometric engraved markings that complement the flowing Damascus pattern.

The guard curves slightly at both ends, creating a traditional Bowie appearance. Matching decorative fittings appear around the handle and pommel, giving the knife a coordinated design from blade to grip.

The warm finish of the brass-colored components provides an attractive contrast against the silver-gray steel and natural ash wood.

Natural ash wood handle

The handle is crafted from ash wood with a warm honey-brown color and visible linear grain. Its slightly contoured profile creates a clean, comfortable-looking grip while allowing the natural wood to remain the main visual feature.

Black-and-white spacer bands frame the ash wood and separate it from the decorative metal fittings. These contrasting bands add depth to the handle and emphasize its segmented construction.

Because ash is a natural material, every handle can vary in grain direction, color, markings, and shade. Such variations are normal and contribute to the individuality of each handcrafted knife.

Decorative pommel and collars

Engraved brass-colored collars appear near the guard and pommel, repeating the geometric decoration used throughout the handle. A layered pommel construction with contrasting spacers completes the design.

These coordinated details give the knife its Brass Ridge identity and create a refined collector presentation without overwhelming the natural wood or Damascus blade.

Hand-tooled red leather sheath

The knife includes a red leather sheath with dark edging and visible hand stitching. Decorative tooling covers the center panel, adding texture and reinforcing the handcrafted character of the set.

A retaining strap helps secure the knife, while the extended belt loop supports traditional vertical carry. The vivid red leather creates an attractive contrast with the ash handle and brass-colored fittings.

Leather is a natural material, so individual sheaths may vary slightly in shade, grain, tooling depth, stitching, and markings.

Designed for collectors and Western enthusiasts

The Brass Ridge is an excellent choice for Damascus Bowie collectors, Western knife enthusiasts, and buyers who appreciate ornate traditional craftsmanship.

Its combination of patterned steel, natural ash wood, engraved fittings, contrasting spacers, and red leather creates an impressive display piece. The complete knife-and-sheath set can also make a memorable gift for birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, holidays, or Father’s Day.

Optional custom engraving

Where sufficient surface space is available, names, initials, dates, ranch names, or short messages may be engraved on the blade or leather sheath.

Final engraving placement and scale depend on the requested design and available surface. Because every knife is handcrafted, the finished personalization may differ slightly from a digital preview.

Damascus steel and material care

Clean and dry the Damascus blade after handling or use. Apply a thin coat of suitable knife oil or food-safe mineral oil before storage, particularly in humid conditions.

Avoid leaving moisture, fingerprints, or corrosive materials on the blade. For extended storage, keep the knife outside the leather sheath because natural leather can retain moisture.

Wipe the ash wood handle with a soft, dry cloth and occasionally apply a suitable wood-conditioning oil. Clean the decorative fittings gently without abrasive products. Condition the sheath with an appropriate leather-care product and keep it away from excessive heat and moisture.
