WOLF
Forge Bowie
Damascus · Brass · Charred oak
$740
The bowie is the piece people stop in front of. Long clip point, hand-filed spine, and a brass guard peened tight to the shoulder.
The handle is octagonal charred oak — burned, brushed back, and oiled so the grain reads dark with warm highlights under the Damascus.
It is finished as a display blade but heat-treated and sharpened like a working one.
