The handle has a Ti Flame finish with bronze finish hardware and a blue finish pivot collar. Incorporates a polished blue notched backspacer. The bowie style blade is VG-10 Damascus steel. The bowie blade features an integrated guard to keep your hand from slipping up onto the blade. This Badlands Bowie model features Andre’s improved/upgraded “roller” pocket clip that finishes off this outstanding design.

Damascus Steel: Damascus is made by welding different types of steels together and working them into folded layers. Depending on the steels included in the mix, the final product will exhibit different qualities, but most Damascus steels make for a formidable and uncommon combination of edge retention and toughness in a knife. The process is rigorous and hands-on and as such, most Damascus steel comes from the workshops of craftsmen like Devin Thomas, Chad Nichols and Brad Vice, to name a few. Some larger operations, like Damasteel in Sweden, use a powder metallurgical process that helps maintain a high level of control over the look and characteristics of the final product.
