The JK “Improved Bowie Knife” really should be renamed the
JK “NOT A BOWIE KNIFE”.’
This remarkable, yet simple knife, is our favorite general purpose OUTDOORSMAN knife
Handmade in John’s shop in Mokena Illinois it’s an all purpose hunter, fisher, bushwacker favorite!
Here is the knife for the true outdoorsman who isn’t influenced by fads, fiction or hyperbole.
Here is the one knife for cutting tent stakes, slicing potatoes. field dressing a buck or filleting a fish.
This true outdoors knife is perfect to whittle a deadfall trigger, split kindling, slice bacon and bread, clean a rabbit and still shave your arm bare! This knife has a handle that fits a mans hand properly so that maximum pressure can be applied to the blade when needed. Experts like Sam “Stick” Fergunson agree that one should not choose a true backcountry knife wit a metal hilt, but rather a knife with a specially designed hiltless handle that will not slip your grip and yet not have that pesky
metal hilt that is always in the way for cutting or sharpening.
This rugged knife uses three oversized pins to hold the handle slabs of your choice with the no extra cost option of having the top pin hollow for a lanyard or sheath safety loop. This blade works well with Micarta, or selected hardwood handle slabs- YOU CHOOSE!
John will build your knife with High Carbon O1 steel, 154CM stainless or CPM S30V super stainless steels all heat treated and tempered to a high Rockwell Hardness in John’s own shop so the quality can be
completely controlled. The choice of steel is yours!
The blade of this knife is 5” long which balances the 4-1/2”, man sized handle perfectly!
This blade hand ground from from 3/32” stock in the flat grind style. This makes the knife a near lazer
for slicing and keeps the weight to a minimum. JK knives are always sharpened to shaving sharpness
with an edge that’s easy to keep sharp. Sheaths can be supplied in leather from John’s shop or you can order your knife without a sheath.
This knife is destined to be your favorite take along knife, be you a hunter, fisherman, woods bum or camper.
This is the knife you will proudly wear on your belt to let the world know that you are truly a thinking man not influenced by flashy ads or silly nonsense notions of unicorns and zombies. This knife will be your forever, no nonsense, reliable and trusted companion.
