The Copper Damascus Sub-Hilt Fighter Bowie by JW SteelCrafts is a bold, large-format collector knife in the classic Loveless-style sub-hilt form. At 17 inches overall, it carries a striking copper Damascus blade with a warm, layered pattern, finished with a secondary sub-hilt guard that defines this collector design. It is a true centerpiece for any serious knife collection.
This handcrafted piece works as a standout display knife and a memorable gift for Bowie and Damascus fans. Because each blade is hand-forged, the copper Damascus pattern is unique on every piece.
The sub-hilt design became famous through American custom knifemaking in the 20th century, where a second, smaller guard was added in front of the main guard for extra control and a distinctive look. The style is closely tied to the golden age of custom collector knives and remains a prized form among enthusiasts. Pairing that classic sub-hilt shape with copper Damascus steel adds a modern, decorative twist, blending traditional folded-steel craft with warm copper-toned contrast. This 17-inch piece celebrates that collector heritage as a display knife valued for its scale, pattern, and craftsmanship.

The winner is…
Size: X-Large, Color: Liberty Navy
I’ve been looking for some good quality polos for a while but it gets frustrating when you’re not someone who likes the labels/logos all over the place. After looking and ordering many polos, this was exactly what I was looking for. High quality materials and fit was perfect all around (length, chest). I already ordered two more.

Quality
Truly this is a well made shirt. Nice cut and details. Fits me well an XL. This is regular roomy fit. The fabric blend is a fine pique. Hopefully it gives at least one year of wearing it about every 10 days.
