The Australian Outback Bowie Knife – D2 Steel, Resin & Stacked Leather Handle is a substantial fixed-blade design inspired by the large field knives associated with rugged frontier and Outback traditions. Measuring approximately 17 inches overall, it features a commanding 12-inch D2 steel blade, blue marbled resin, a central stacked-leather grip, brass-colored fittings, and a stitched leather belt sheath.
Extra-large D2 steel blade
The Australian Outback Bowie is built around a broad 12-inch D2 steel blade. D2 is a tool steel known for its wear resistance and ability to maintain an edge when properly heat-treated and cared for.
The blade has a bright satin-polished finish that emphasizes its generous length and clean lines. A narrow decorative fuller travels along the upper portion, adding visual depth to the otherwise smooth blade face.
D2 contains more chromium than many conventional high-carbon steels, but it is generally classified as semi-stainless rather than completely rustproof. The blade should still be cleaned, dried, and lightly oiled after handling or use.
